Description
For Winter 26-27 please do not apply unless you are available from Christmas till the end of February.
We're a boutique ski lodge situated in a Unesco Biosphere reserve at the base of Mt T (known as Tanigawadake Joch in the green season).
Summer has arrived and apart from running the lodge, we have some large construction projects that need doing.
It's heavy work and there is an element of working at heights too. . Fortunately the lodge sits in a mountain valley which is generally quite cool. We are also right next to a beautiful river so easy to cool off anytime.
Artists are always of interest and there's also plenty of general painting that can be done too.
We pay Y1100/hr and supply accommodation and meals.
We generally don't accept couples.
We have a lovely doggy at the lodge.
We prefer omnivores as we aren't vegetarian and don't want to be preparing special meals all the time. -

Work was all pretty straight forward. It consisted of cleaning rooms, changing beds, assisting at meal times when busy, mowing the lawn and generally keeping the place clean!
The area is beautiful, and Lucky might be the friendliest … read more
If you like hiking this is also the ideal place as there are plenty of stunning ones within walking distance from the lodge.
