    Description

    We are a kiwi couple with a small mountain Lodge in Hakuba. We love the outdoors (which is why we have chosen to live here!) and have a toddler and a dog.

    We are looking for two different types of people depending on the time of year..
    1. Someone to assist our lodge manager in running our cosy, friendly ski lodge. The person/people will be happy to help with a range of different tasks.. Including cleaning, driving, snow shoveling, gardening, meeting and greeting guests and generally taking the load off our manager so that they can also enjoy being in the mountains. (Dec-March, May, August).

    2. Someone who loves a project and is keen to assist with our private forest cabin renovation. Preference will be given to those with experience/skills in carpentry and handy projects, but people with a can do attitude and willingness to learn will also be accepted. (April-Nov).

    Helpers will receive ¥800 per hour plus accommodation. Because of the recent requirement to pay for every hour worked, we will be very selective on who we accept. Please message us with details of who you are and why you're interested. We're keen to work together to make an arrangement that suits both parties.

    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).
