Description
My name is Mark and I am representing some properties in Nagano, Japan.
We are based in a ski resort. There is only paid work in the ski season. The work in hotels will require a work holiday visa. No tourist visas are accepted for paid workers. The paid work is mainly working in food and beverage as well as in the ski shop and information centre. We also need help with cleaning, snow shoveling, customer service and social media in English. All paid work in the ski season includes a season pass, meals and accommodation. The hourly rate is 850 yen per hour.
Outside of ski season their may be the possibility of long stays in exchange for work doing maintenance work on lodges etc. Meals will be included in both paid and non-paid work.Types of help and learning opportunities
