Iwanai Mountain House

Some of the best skiing and snow conditions on the planet.

Iwanai has the most snack bars per capita in Hokkaido; let's go for a drink and Karaoke!

Iwanai brewery is just across the street!

4 hot springs are within walking distance of the house. (Access to our private hot springs)

Some of the best sushi bars on the planet.

Easy access - A bus departs from Sapporo or Otaru station nearly every hour directly to iwanai. We can pick you up from the Iwanai bus terminal if you provide an accurate arrival time.

I am a 35-year-old man from the US. I have spent the better part of the past 14 years living in Hokkaido. Before moving to Iwanai I lived in Sapporo, Hakodate, and consider myself pretty knowledgeable in the area. I also spent a year and a half traveling through Asia, Africa and South America. I love to ski, hike, sea kayak and am no stranger around the bbq grill.

I had such a fantastic time at Iwanai Resort, it never felt like work. I worked mostly with the Summer camps & in the kitchen sometimes. The summer camp days were long, sometimes all day & overnight on occasion, but it never felt like work. Teaching the kids how to build a camp fire, make s’mores, kayaking & hiking all day pushed their limits and mine in a good way.

Working with Aki in the kitchen, Dan & John with the campers was a great experience. They’re all easy to work with & are good about balancing work & time off.

I recommend volunteering here. I felt welcome, safe &respected.

This was my second volunteer experience but I think it felt more like summer adventure (in summer camp ) It took almost all my time since I had day and night shifts but I truly enjoy the time and was happy to help with everything (it definitely didn't feel like work and every day was fun and interesting + I tried a lot of new activities ) Met a lot of nice and interesting people.
This was perfect for summer and I really would like to come back to this beautiful place. Already miss Hokkaido and Iwanai
Thank you)))

It was such a nice experience in Iwanai, the whole crew is friendly and helpful, they will make their best to make you have a good experience, you will never run out of food in the house, just if you are coming to Iwanai, be aware of the food, don't waste it. there were around 7 of us in the house, we split tasks and home cores.
I learned various values during this time, i appreciate the work i did, and the importance of the team work. Being surrounded by nature was very important for me, as i am used to big cities.
Thank all of you guys, and see you soon!!!

Fue una muy grata experiencia. Desde la coordinación hasta el acompañamiento en las tareas se dieron transparente y oportunamente. Tuvimos la oportunidad de aprender trabajos relacionados tanto con el bosque como con la remodelación de un hotel.
La casa en donde nos recibieron muy cómoda, ordenada y siempre con comida disponible. Fuimos privilegiados en tener pieza privada al momento de dormir. El entorno de trabajo es muy entretenido y lleno de naturaleza. Dan y todo el equipo del resort fueron super simpáticos, amables y atentos con nosotros, además de flexibles con nuestros tiempos.

My time at Iwanai was great ! This was my first workaway experience and stayed longer than expected.
The place is very remote and there is not much action around in off-season but this makes you have the whole nature just for you (hikes, kayak, surf, golf...), perfect to have a relax travel break far from the overwelming japanese cities.
The team is very easy-going, fun and flexible. And you will be sharing the house with other foreigners, very nice vibe going 🙂
The work can vary everyday which is nice ! Can be outdoor, enjoying the nature and the beautiful view.
