Ski resort in Japan (volunteer exchange) – We are located in the premier Ski resort in Japan with an epic location!  Please come! 🙂

Update July 2024 – Volunteer exchange position

We are a family-owned guest house that has been hosting volunteers for many years. My wife and I love meeting new people, getting to know them and learning about their culture, life’s experiences, their dreams & ideas. Our guest house is located in Hokkaido, Niseko, Japan. The no 1 Asia ski and snowboard resort. Many reasons its the amazing volcano that looks like Mt Fuji about 10km away. It’s mild summer temperatures.
16m of snow in winter
During the summer period, there are a lot of activities you can do such as many water sports. Local lakes and rivers, hiking in the mountains, cycling and so many more.

What we offer:

• – usually a private room
• – Free tea and coffee
• – Pick up if necessary;
• – Equipped kitchen with some basic ingredients (such as seasonal vegetables, maybe some pasta and rice.
• – only help in mornings maximum 5 days a week

Requirements:

• Minimum stay at least
• 2 weeks – Spring, summer & Autumn
• 2.5 months Winter – December to mid/end of February.
• (use of share or own ski lift pass included) in turn the help hours are more than summer and autumn.

Help description

• During spring summer & autumn

2024 we are moving from one lodge to another. So help us move.

• During winter

We mostly need help with cleaning up after breakfast time and housekeeping. That includes vacuum cleaning and mopping the floors, changing the bed linens, cleaning the bathrooms etc.
We hope to hear from you!

Group activities

Sports gear (tennis, swimming, cycling)
Bicycles for you to use

Help exchangers with working holiday visas will be considered for the whole winter season.

If you don’t have a working visa we would still love to have you outside of the winter season months. Or if you have graduated from University and have more than 3 years of work experience visa sponsorship – this process takes a long time however and a lot of work both for the voluntourist and host.

Until December 1st we accept everyone who would like to come, we will find something for you to do and love lots of different skills.

If you have a lot of experience in one of the following we urge you to apply:

• House renovations

• Fixing things

• IT skills
• Snow clearing
• Design (Illustrator, Photoshop or WordPress)
• You have an international driver’s licence and will be okay with other tasks such as
• cooking and house cooking.

Depending on your timing we can take Helpers at any time of the year except May and June, winter ski mountains are open until May 6th and there is still a lot of snow.

We are located only 100m from the main ski lifts.
Depending on the policies set by the ski resort committee, we may have some shared ski passes that you can use for free.

They may not be available every day.

If you would like to use lifts first thing in the morning every day of the season then we recommend that you get your own season pass.

Come to the best place in Japan because no matter what season, nature, sports, onsens and food are the best here!!
