    Description

    Hi my name is Michael,
    I am from Australia and currently am embarking on my first overseas hospitality project in Japan. In Australia I own/ operate pubs but have always loved the snow. I have purchased a lodge in Tangram that has both a restaurant and bar and am now looking for staff to help me out. The lodge is only a three minute walk away from the number six ski lift at Tangram Ski Circus.
