HAKUBA GORYU
At Hakuba Goryu, we are actively recruiting staff for the winter season.
Winter is when Hakuba is at its most exciting as a snow resort. With over 10 different job positions from outdoor to indoor, you're sure to find a job that matches your skills and lifestyle.
One of the charms of Hakuba Goryu is that we operate night skiing every day. You can work during the day and ride after work. Or start your day with a morning shred session and work from the afternoon into the night. It's the perfect workplace for those who want to make use of their day.
Special allowances for those who contract early and work with us for an extended period!
