  Kutchan is an agriculture and skiing town, so it has an interesting mix of Japanese and expat international residents. The summer activities are hiking, mountain biking, road cycling, rafting, golf and community festivals. Food and onsens are always a special feature of life in Kutchan. Winter is skiing and shovelling the best 16 metres of powder snow in the world.

  Arbeit

  Kutchan has a punishing winter climate and a very small summer window to repair and prepare for the next winter season. It also has a very fast growing season to prepare, harvest and process a summer garden. The help will be supporting the preparation and completion of a broad range of home maintenance and gardening tasks.

  The house is 2km from the train station with a bus stop at the door. There are also bicycles available. The closest major cities are Otaru 1.5 hours and Sapporro 2 hours by train. We are Warmshowers hosts and enjoy the company of travellers. Japanese houses are compact so they need to be kept tidy and clutter free to be comfortable.
