    Description

    Based in Nozawa Onsen a very Traditional Farming village and Ski Resort town in the mountains of Nagano Japan.
    It is also one of the most famous hot spring towns in Japan with 13 free onsens to enjoy all year round.
    In Winter it is a mecca for skiers and snowboarders with some of the best powder snow in the world.

    In the summer months there is still plenty to do in the village, including biking, hiking, golf and experiencing the local festivals.

    The summer tasks are things like, cleaning and setting up rooms for the hotel, gardening and deep cleaning, and helping with renovation work like painting.

    We ask you to stay for a minimum of two months so please only contact us if can do that.

    If you can speak Japanese would be a great help and increase chances. Good hospitality experience and skills a plus too. Check out our reviews for more details, we have been welcoming work aways for many years now and really enjoy the help and experience they bring.

    Anyone interested please contact us, we look forward to hearing from you.
