  Description

  We are currently actively recruiting Japanese citizens or permanent residents.
  
  If you're wondering "What should I do next?", or if you're interested in living in Hakuba or working in the tourism industry, please feel free to contact us.
  
  We value flexible work arrangements and want to explore various possibilities together, tailored to each individual's situation and goals. We especially welcome those with an entrepreneurial spirit, such as those who want to try something new themselves or those who aspire to start their own business in the future. Our mutual efforts may lead to positive collaboration.
  
  We also actively consider long-term employment as a full-time employee (with full social insurance) depending on your aptitude and preferences.
  
  Even if we are not currently recruiting, we would love to speak with you if a good opportunity arises. Please feel free to contact us anytime if you are even slightly interested.
  
  We look forward to hearing from you.
  
  About us
  
  We are a kiwi family with a small mountain Lodge in Hakuba. We love the outdoors (which is why we have chosen to live here!).
  
  WE ARE NOT CURRENTLY HIRING FOR NEXT WINTER. However, we can save the profiles of those interested in Winter work so that we can evaluate in September when we begin the recruitment process. We can hire couples and individuals. Please only apply for Winter if you will have a valid working visa for Japan, have an international driving license and can drive a manual transmission vehicle. If applying as a pair, BOTH people need these things.
  
  SEARCH FOR JAPANESE EMPLOYEE
  Search for workers who have Japanese citizenship/PR and Japanese language ability. If you are Japanese and searching for your next thing, please reach out to us to see how we can work together. We can be flexible and open to a range of options, especially if you are feeling entrepraneurial yourself (perhaps our endeavours can benefit each other or work well together?)!! There are opportunities to become a full time, long term staff member (with company health insurance) for the right person. If you want to learn more, please contact me at any time, even if there is no availability showing. We'd love to hear from you!

  Cultural exchange and learning opportunities

  Hakuba is a wonderland of nature a and outdoor activities. In the summer/autumn there is mountain biking, hiking, rivers and lakes to enjoy. The winter it's a mecca for skiing and snowboarding. We live down a friendly street with close contact with our Japanese neighbours. We are an easy going couple that are keen to share our home and local knowledge with like minded and helpful travellers (we are travellers and have done workaway ourselves in the past, so we get what you're up to).
