About Raven Outdoors
Raven Outdoors is a small guiding operation based in Furano, focused on backcountry skiing, splitboarding, and fly fishing across Central Hokkaido. We work in private, low-volume days built around real conditions and the kind of terrain and water that reward patience and fitness—not packaged tours.
The business is run by guides who live here year-round. That matters for timing, access, and reading the mountains and rivers as they change week to week, not from last season's notes.
The guides
You'll head out with experienced local guides. Each of us has a different emphasis—pick the profile that fits your trip, or ask when you inquire and we'll match you.
- Ryota Sato — owner and lead guide, skier, Furano local; backcountry ski and fly fishing.
- Kaito Miyata — snowboarding and splitboard guiding in the same mountains and snowpack.
