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, we recommend getting your own season pass.

Hello,
I am very interested in volunteering/working at your hostel in Hokkaido this winter season. I’m 21 years old and living in California. Would I need a working holiday visa in order to enter Japan? What are the current covid protocols for Americans entering Japan?
Thank you for your time and I look forward to hearing from you.
Sincerely,
Kenzo
