I had a great experience! Hakuba is very pretty and there'a a lot of skiing opportunities. Everyone on the staff was very nice, the driver especially was super friendly☺️

The work was as agreed, often under 5h/ day and never over. We were able to request days off. Staff dropped us off at the town after work so we could go ski even on work days, and also often drove us to the supermarket etc. We were also usually provided breakfast and dinner.

The location I worked and stayed at is a different lodge owned by the same people, so it's not the one in the pictures and is located further out.
