I am an experienced nature guide in Hokkaido too. Knowing the place well and offering appropriate gear helps you lower the risks and get a better result.

Fieldwork/recce


If you already have a specific story or animals to film in mind but have not figured it out how or where to, then I can offer my time to spend in searching for the best locations on my own or by using my connections.
