- Valid working holiday visa or work visa required
- Valid international driver's license preferred
Hey, I'm Dingo. I came to Japan out of my longing for good food, great people, and effective public transit. I've been all over the country seeking out cultural experiences, natural grandeur, and very cute buildings from the 80's that look neat.
Madarao, on the border of Nagano and Niigata, is full of fantastic people that are always helping each other out. In the winter, it regularly throws down 12m+ of snow on a mountain with great run variety, glades, natural bowls, and backcountry.
This opportunity is definitely for skiers / snowboarders with solid experience in cooking and hospitality. You have every day access to a world class powder mountain, so I'm guessing you're probably into that.
Looking forward to hearing from you.

Cultural exchange and learning opportunities
I've been living in Japan since 2020 and have traveled in almost every prefecture, as well as worked in a professional capacity as a customized tour guide. I'm an open book with regard to any of my experiences in the US, Japan, or elsewhere, and I'm hoping to hear about winter in the southern hemisphere. Of course, you will absorb the Shōwa experience through my collection of over 300 laserdiscs on rotation in the shop.
