  Descrição

  Hi !!
  I am Shinji, and I am running a small inn located in the remote mountain area of Hida. The inn is an old and beautiful wooden house with traditional fireplace (Irori) in use. The accommodation is usually one-day one-group limited for the best hospitality, but open to multiple parties on event days for the close interaction among the participants.
  
  Nature is abundant here with herbs, wild vegetables, mushrooms, etc.
  There is a small farm field in front of the inn.
  The location, the village, is a really tranquil and beautiful place surrounded by mountains and I expect you will love the scenery here.
  
  Currently I am running the Inn alone as a full time worker and only sometimes with the temporary staff, so I often experience a shortage of staff.
  I often invite temporary staff in Japan, and it worked well where I was happy to have them help me to share something more than just part time work, and they were happy to have a new and extraordinary experience too. Therefore I wanted to expand the chance to foreign people as well who can work here with me.
  
  Since professional services for guests are required, the candidate person should be well familiar with culinary art (experience as a cook in restaurant/cafe or equivalent by cooking daily at home), serving to guest at table (experience in restaurant/cafe or equivalent), and chores in general including cleaning and tidying-up.
  To be a good server to guests, it is preferred that your Japanese proficiency level is N5 or better in JLPT, but it is not necessarily required.
  Cleanliness is a must property of a candidate helper. Great care should be taken for the space to be used and cleaned afterwards. Shower should be taken everyday. A smoker is not eligible.
  A lady tends to be desired more often than a gentleman during the periods where help is necessary.
  The wages are paid but please consider it is the minimum wages.
  Please note that this paid position is available only for a person who has work visa!
  
  Because this is a small inn and the work includes every aspect to run an inn, you will be able to learn a wide range of things related to this type of accommodation service, especially that of Japanese Ryokan.
  It might be a good experience for example if you are interested in running an inn or guest house yourself in the future.
  
  Lastly here I sometimes plan and run some events to gather people such as a temporary event cafe, temporary event lunch, just weeding around the village, building a hut ourselves, music event, etc.. If you have your own speciality to attract people, we might plan some event together to make the best use of that!
  
  Other than the work, of course I am expecting that we can have fun to share our thoughts and cultures!
  
  ***** INFORMATION FOR APPLICANTS ***** 【PLEASE READ CAREFULLY】
  Please note that I will be selective in choosing a worker for this position.
  It is to assure the best quality of service for guests.
  It's also for my obtaining a good expectation of a comfortable relationship between us, since we will be a very small team and work closely (note that most of the time the staff could be just you and me).
  The period is normally from 2 weeks to 2 months. (*)
  
  With those in mind, if you feel you are suitable, please do apply and specify in your message;
  - The period you'd like to stay for (from when till when)
  - The reason why you'd like to come here and what you can contribute
  - Your history(experiences) and philosophy
  - Any dietary requirement you have
  
  I reply to you within 3 days but if I happen to fail that,
  please don't wait for my reply and find another host.
  
  I am waiting for your application, thank you!
  
  (*): If you are highly motivated and interested in a full-time worker position for 1 year(3-4 seasons) full immersive work and life experience here, I am now taking applications (The period next year from March to November or longer) and you are welcome to apply for that.
  ****************************************
  (2024/Apr NOTE: Application is now very limited. Most of period helpers are already assigned throughout YEAR 2024. Even if it is possible it would be only for short period like 1-2 weeks for 2024. )
  
  もちろん日本人も歓迎です！おてつたびも募集してます。日本の原風景のような種蔵にどうぞお越しください。

  Acomodação

  You can use one of the neat guest rooms with bed or Futon at the inn.
  
  The food is mostly very simple dishes with vegetables and grains and they should be shared, not personally prepared, since the time to share dishes is the good time for communication. The ingredients are served (need to use most of the left-over vegetables in fridge in the first place), and the dishes for ourselves should be cooked together or cooked in turn. I can eat quite anything happily. Mostly I don't eat meat but I can eat and also enjoy any new dishes.
  
  When guests are staying, basically we eat the same things so you would be able to experience some of the regular dishes served at the inn.
  I hope you can also cook and share any your favorite dishes! (Simple one is welcome, since mine is simple)
  Let's exchange our dishes and cooking culture!

  Algo mais...

  The public transportation is very inconvenient here. In your time off, basically please assume you will spend your time quietly and slowly just in this village.
  For your holiday, you can take trains and go to the nearest city (Hida Furukawa) or wherever you would like to go. I will try to pick you up and drop you off at the station by my car for your convenience to my best effort.
  
  The nearest station to the inn is JR Sakakami station（坂上駅）.
  For the first visit, please arrive this station by yourself and I will pick you up by my car :)
  
  
  *** Some of my personality, philosophy ***
  (1) I like to meet new people and touch the thoughts from different way of thinking and different point of view.
  (2) I cherish freedom and diversity: I like to involve with unique and free-spirited persons who are very different each other and can say anything freely, but respect the different opinion as the basis.
  (3) I am a creative person who tries to do it yourself for anything. Though I was an amateur, I've built a small house and hut myself. "Anything is possible once you aim" is one of my motto.
  (4) My another motto is "Simple is best". I always find a beauty in a simple thing, and love the simple life, simple design.
  (5) Oh my another important motto is "Mottainai". I don't want to waste anything as best as possible and I pursue good "circulation": I would like to approach a life where there is no waste but all of them just become fertilizer to enrich the land, and where we make full use of ourselves to be fertilizer for the better world and future.
  (6) I like the philosophy of the natural farming and putting them into action for my little farm.
  (7) I see a value to make the better use of the wood as natural resources for energy and goods, since here in Hida and Japan the wood is abundant, and I love the tree and the wood.
  
  (*) I was previously a research engineer but after 8 years working for company I turned my way, feeling at the time in need to go away from technology and return to the source, nature. In the course of life afterwards somehow I found a position here by taking over the management of this inn, then I am here now and trying to build a meaningful place here.
  ****************************
  
  Lastly, I am quite open-minded person and you can ask me anything you have in mind!
  I wish we could share a memorable time together!
