English and Japanese couple, seeking help for a renovated B&B in our ski resort, Hachimantai, for the Winter Season.
We've been a little slow answering emails and apologize in advance for that as we've been concentrating on further renovations to the property to make it more attractive to guests and help alike !!
This is our fourth season here at Appi and we're hoping to have a great time and working hard with whoever comes to help us out.
Our place is homely with 8 guest bedrooms and enough communal area to relax and unwind. It's a family affair that offers ski passes for 5 hours a day help for a long stay.
Room, board and plenty of time to enjoy the slopes when you're here. Obviously working hard is a must but we're flexible with scheduling and volunteering hours. If you'd like to experience Northern Japan, without the Chaos of Hokkaido (Nisseko) then this place is ideal.
Due to insurance stipulations we would prefer people 26 or older with an International driving permit.
Warm clothes are a MUST.

Shared bedroom accommodation provided, with Room and board (shared accommodation). Ski passes for a long stay.
It's a great place with wonderful local people. If you want the night life of Niseko this is definitely not for you. The snow is great, it's a very relaxing place to come that offers great all round skiing. Morioka is the closest city with plenty to do. It only takes just over 2 hours from Tokyo to get here on the Shinkansen. There are plenty of onsens in the area as well as other local ski resorts.
We're looking for outgoing people who may want to learn a little Japanese while they're here. Relaxed family atmosphere with a communal sense. It's cold and hard work at times but at the end of the day we can all sit down and relax.
