Cultural exchange and learning opportunities
We are based in a wonderful ski town called Hakuba. There is a lovely Japanese community here as well as an international presence. There are lots of historical and cultural events happening in the surrounding area. including Zenkoji temple, Togakushi shrine and some other nearby old onsen towns like Nozawa onsen and Shibu onsen. We are an active member of the local community and participate in local events such as traditional festivals, community cleanups, where a workaway member can join in and meet local people.
