The three pillars that Coyote values
Mountain Guide Coyote provides guide services, with its main field being Niseko, Hokkaido
"We hope that our backcountry programs can help guests feel, interact with, and come to love all kinds of life that breathes in this universe,"
says representative Ryuta Furuichi.
To achieve this, we believe it is important to respect the physical strength and preferences of each guest as much as possible, to value safety and peace of mind, and to acquire sufficient wisdom and knowledge about nature
The three pillars of Mountain Guide Coyote's concept are to ensure that customers take home something more than just the program, to provide programs that benefit nature, and to ensure that all staff members are able to continue their activities
