    Hi, Emily & Mike here, and we run a ski lodge in Japan.

    Situated within walking distance of 2 Resorts in the Hakuba Valley (Nagano Prefecture, Japan), and are surrounded by the woods & mountains.
    Our lodge consists of 7 Rooms (sleeping up to 30 people), Bar & Restaurant, Movie Room, Dry Room and Spa.

    Our lodge attracts couples, families and large groups. It's a very cosy, friendly place to stay during the winter offering a relaxing social space with great food & wine. Having a wine or beer by the fireplace after a day out on the slopes really captures that winter lodge feel!

    Guests will stay from 20th December, through end of March.
    Winter season only.

    We're looking for FUN, ENERGETIC, GO-GETTER personalities that have a SENSE OF ADVENTURE, are OPEN MINDED, and LOVE PEOPLE.

    The winters are fast paced, and can be an extraordinary experience for those that are willing to immerse themselves to its full potential.

    +BARISTA, FOOD PREPARATION
    + HOUSEKEEPING
    +BREAKFAST SERVICE / RECEPTIONIST

    Restaurant concept...

    ''Our next chapter – Fire & Ferment – is a culmination of experiences and experiments gathered over the past 5 years.
    The use of fire, cooking over coals and smoking has become an undeniable favourite in our cooking. Meanwhile the magic of fermentation is our backbone for enhancing the flavour profiles of our dishes. This year we’ll be upscaling the use of both of these cooking techniques and paying homage to their deliciousness and nourishment.
    You’ll find plants & vegetables we’ve gathered and preserved from around Hakuba, as well as local meats and fish which we aim to present in a totally new way.
    Each night enjoy a tasty story from the warmth of the restaurant.''
