are there any outfitters or guides for big game hunting in japan?

First of all, I only "know" what I've read in here, so take this as probably true but not necessarily.

As far as I know, a foreigner cannot hunt with guns in Japan.

A guy who posts in here from time to time, Eric Rose, "Hokkaido", organized a bow hunt for Americans. You can search his posts for information on hunting in Japan, or you might contact him. He hasn't posted in a while, so I'm not sure what his current situation is......

Hi,
Yes Eric Rose does still offer hunts.
Our member Mario has hunted with him. Another friend of mine went last year and was very happy!

There was someone a while ago opffering Sitka deer hunts either shotgun or archery

A friend and I hunted with him in 2012 and had a blast. It's a bow or spear only hunt. PM or email me if you want some more details.

I think you may be confusing "trying" to offer a shotgun hunt with an actual offer. As I recall, Hokkaido mentioned this but was unable to get permission for alien shotgun use.

Go with locals

No bullshit

No surprises

Get to places most people don't even know exists

Gatorgordo, this is the guy I was thinking of. No I am not offering hunts. Couldn't remember the specifics as to weapons. I just remembered a stag with a shotgun in the photo.
