Kuroda Mountain Guide Office | Providing travel-oriented ski touring | Nagano Prefecture – Introducing the National Backcountry Guide Club –

Offers a variety of hiking trips where the earth is a field and mountains

Guide service provided by Makoto Kuroda, an international mountain guide.

We offer a variety of guided mountain tours that allow you to enjoy the mountains throughout the four seasons, including flying through the powder snow and mountain skiing in the spring sunshine, mixed climbing and ice climbing in the cold wind in the winter, and mountain traversing in the summer. is provided. We make full use of our skills and characteristics as international mountain guides to arrange mountain trips that are full of originality.

Rather than focusing on skiing, the company has received many requests for ski touring with a sense of travel. We also hold training sessions on basic winter mountain climbing, rock climbing, ice climbing, and glacier techniques, and provide support for those who wish to advance to mountain areas using these techniques.

So that you can enjoy the mountains at your own level

Rather than open mountaineering where you can mingle with people you don't know, we hold mountaineering only with private guides, where only friends and acquaintances apply. In terms of content, we are proposing something that considers the overall abilities of all participants.

[Individual (private) guide]

A private guide is when you rent a guide for yourself or just your friends. The appeal is that you can plan your mountain trip based on individual themes. Depending on the nature of the request, it may be necessary to participate in a training hike or technical seminar in advance.

The guide fee is 50,000 yen/day based on the number of people, and the guide ratio changes depending on the nature of the hike.
