Descripción
We are looking for energetic, caring people to run our cosy, friendly ski lodge during winter months for the upcoming 2025/26 season.
Applicants must;
- Have a valid working visa for Japan (if you don't have one yet, please don't apply. It's too late to get it ready for the coming season).
- Have an international drivers permit for Japan and feel comfortable driving in snowy conditions
- Be over the age of 23
-Be an outgoing and friendly person who is willing to be flexible with job tasks and hours.
- One person in the couple must have experience/confidence using heavy machinery and be willing to operate the snow blower.
The info:
We are on the hunt for a couple (the room has a king bed only, so unfortunately it makes it difficult to host singles. Sorry about that!) Our approach during winter is to have plenty of hands on deck so that you can work less hours, and get maximum snow time. Rather than have full time workers who resent the fact that they can’t get out on the snow, we hope that this arrangement will give everyone a balanced season. Think of it as a “lifestyle job” with approx 20 hours expected work, per week, per person.
The employed people will be happy to help with a range of different tasks.. Including cleaning, driving, snow clearing, meeting and greeting guests, taking payments and basically anything that crops up throughout the season to keep the lodge running with happy customers. There will be some busy days, and other less busy days, so please be willing to be flexible. Sometimes busy days coincide with powder days… this is something you will need to be OK with (but we will try our best to make sure that you get as much pow as possible).
The minimum time requirement for winter staff is mid-December – mid-March. We will not accept anyone who wishes to start from January. There is a bonus provided to staff once they make it to their finishing date in March.
The ideal people will be excellent with customer service (mainly catering to international guests… often Australians) who are flexible and willing to provide excellent service. It is a small lodge where guests get to know the staff and it’s a friendly vibrant atmosphere. Staff will be willing to help with all tasks. We aim to make sure that everyone gets plenty of time off to enjoy the snow. All staff will need a valid working visa for Japan and an International Driving permit, (and be willing to drive carefully in the snow).
Shifts may be at the same time as your partner, or may be at separate times. Regardless, you will have plenty of spare time to hang out and enjoy the mountains together.
All staff will be paid ¥1000 per hour. Accommodation is included and there is a weekly food allowance.
This is a unique opportunity for those who want to max out their snow time while also getting to experience working a snow season in Hakuba (instead of spending all your hard earned savings!). We are in a central location that is easy walking distance to Happo One ski resort, and just up the Rd from Echoland. The free ski shuttle bus stop is right outside and it’s generally a really nice area to be in.
About us
We are a kiwi family with a small mountain Lodge in Hakuba. We love the outdoors (which is why we have chosen to live here!). Sometimes we are looking for staff for our accommodation business, and sometimes we are looking for general helpers to help with our family life or general yard work etc.
We are also CURRENTLY LOOKING FOR a few people to help with cleaning and building maintenance pre season (November/December). Helpers will stay in a separate residence to the family in a private apartment with own kitchenette and bathroom. Priority will be given to anyone with trade/renovation experience, but most importantly a can do attitude and ability to work unassisted.

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).
