Cultural exchange and learning opportunities
It's a good opportunity to learn about traditional architecture and design. You'll be able to learn from the Japanese carpenter, both japanese language and carpentry skills. There's lots of hiking, natural onsen and waterfalls, a lake, fishing, swimming etc and lots of snow in winter.

Help
We recently dismantled an 170 year old farm house, relocated and rebuilt it. We're now working on the interior. We are have a couple Japanese carpenters and a couple international people now working on this project and are looking for an extra pair of hands. We're looking with people comfortable with construction work, or willing and open to learn. All experience levels are fine as long as you have a positive attitude.
Come December we turn into a ski in ski out hotel and are also seeking staff for the winter season across our accommodation and restaurants.
