  Description

  Hi there!
  
  We are an Aussie couple – Nellie and Byron - originally from Australia and now living in the beautiful Japanese Alps. We own a few properties in Hakuba and throughout the year, we welcome hard-working, easy-going people to help out with a mix of tasks depending on the season.
  
  Summer Opportunities (August–November)
  
  In the summer, we offer work in exchange for free accommodation (and sometimes house-sitting if we are away from Hakuba). This is ideal for people who want to slow down, enjoy the mountains, and don’t mind getting stuck into some physical tasks.
  
  We currently have DIY and hands-on projects in action, so if you’re handy or have any skills we’d love to hear from you.
  
  Typical Summer Tasks Include:
  
  - Painting preparation + painting
  - Furniture setup and organising spaces
  - Gardening and outdoor cleanup
  - Deep cleaning
  - DIY handyman tasks
  
  What’s Included:
  - Free accommodation in a freshly renovated space
  - private room
  - Free use of bikes, SUP boards, and any outdoor gear we’ve got around
  - Walking distance to Happo-One Resort if you’re into hiking or just want some mountain time
  
  Please reach out if you have a skillset suitable to our needs in Hakuba - Japan.
  Please note: We are only considering applicants for the summer of 2025 :)
