Three pillars that coyotes value
"Mountain Guide Coyote" provides guide services mainly in Niseko, Hokkaido.
Ryuta Furuichi, the representative, says , "Guests will feel all kinds of life that lives in this universe, talk to them, and fall in love with them. Through our backcountry program, we hope to help them do that."
To that end, we believe that we must respect the physical strength and preferences of each guest as much as possible, value safety and peace of mind, and learn enough wisdom and knowledge about nature.
The three pillars of the Mountain Guide Coyote concept are to have customers take home more than the program, to conduct programs that are naturally positive, and to enable all staff to continue their activities.

Ryuta Furuichi
Interested in the environment and food, entered Meiji University's Faculty of Agriculture. After graduating, he joined a company in Hokkaido to live in the majestic Hokkaido. In order to feel closer to nature and practice a life that does not impact the environment, he launched Mountain Guide Coyote, and is currently working hard to enhance the Coyote program. I love skiing snowy mountains on telemark skis.
