Description
Hi - I'm Alex. I've lived in Hakuba for 5 years with my family. Our company manages luxury properties all year round. During winter (Dec - March), we also run a car rental company, manages a wellness center and run a fine dining restaurant. We are a family owned business that provides full time employment. We speak English and Japanese, and have two lovely kids at home. We need people in each of these areas from the start of December until end of March. We need your here from latest mid December until end of March. Our peak periods start from Dec 20, so it's important to have a few weeks to learn the job, the area, and grow with our full time team. Most of our guests are from overseas and speak English.
*** For August - we are only in need to staff that can assist with housekeeping + cleaning up of BBQs. ***
Please note, anyone working for us must have a valid visa to work in Japan. Tourist visas are not valid for working (paid or volunteer).

What else ...
Hakuba is filled with incredibly energy throughout the winter. It doesn't matter if it is a weekday or a weekend, it is always busy from mid Dec until mid March. You can explore all the Japanese hot spring, go see the Japanese temples in Nagano or Matsumoto Castle, or take a drive down to Kanazawa, which is like a mini Kyoto. We can offer a car if you needed as well for your stay, but you will need an international driver's license.
