Ski Resort jobs in Hokkaido (summer and winter)

 
Ski Resort Working Holiday Jobs in Japan
 
In Hokkaido, on a Working Holiday visa, you can get a job at a large ski resort during the winter and summer seasons, either as a sports instructor (in the wintertime: skiing and snowboarding; in the summertime: mountain biking, tennis, pilates, yoga and archery), as a hotel and hospitality service staff, as a guest entertainer, or at childcare.
 
The resort jobs don't require any Japanese language skills! You should however be able to communicate in English. If you do know some Japanese however, it is of course of advantage!
 
We will arrange your ski resort job in Japan prior to your travel to Japan, so that you can start it right after your arrival to Japan (or also later if you prefer).
