Description
We're a mountain side boutique hotel with onsen and a focus on art, design and nice food. The hotel only is only open during winter and in the green season we are busy renovating, designing and building. We're always on the look out for like minded people. We're currently relocating and re-building a farm house and turning it into a timber/craft workshop.
As the hotel is currently closed during the green season, we have plenty of guest rooms available. Ideally we're looking for creative, design oriented people who don't mind getting hands on in renovation work during the green season.
During winter we will be looking for hotel staff. Please don't hesitate to get in touch if you're interested in either winter or green season experience/work or both.
