Hakusan Ichirino Ski Resort

Ichirino Hot Spring Ski Resort

Now recruiting part-time winter staff - let's enjoy it together!

Hakusan Ichirino Ski Resort is on Mt. Hakusan, one of Japan's most famous mountains. It's the largest ski resort in Ishikawa, also nearby the entrance of Hakusan Shirakawa-go White Road. There are many popular ski runs, including the gentle slope at the foot of the mountain (suitable for beginners and families), the long course where you can ski down from the gondola summit at an altitude of 1,050m, and Nodaira slope, which has an easy-to-navigate constant slope beginning from halfway up the mountain. It's a great place for various styles of skiing and snowboarding.

Below are the three types of jobs that you can do while enjoying this vast natural environment!

Job 1: Lift Operator

Help people get on and off the lift and gondola that takes them to the top of the slope. You’ll also check tickets at the boarding point and sweep snow off the lift chairs on snowy days. Your job is to get customers to the top of the mountain safely, including stopping the lift if a customer falls while getting off, etc.

Job 2: Moving Walkway Operator

Ichirino Hot Spring Ski Resort has a moving walkway (conveyor belt) on the gentle slope, because we want those who are new to skiing or snowboarding to experience the fun of it on the same day. The main job here is to help people get on and off the belt. It's a working area where you can't help but want to support the learners as they improve with each try and see their smiles on their faces.

Job 3: Kids Park Supervisor

Hakusan Ichirino Onsen Ski Resort also has a kids park where children (and adults!) can enjoy playing in the snow, sledding, tubing, slides and more. Since not only children but also adults can enjoy themselves here, your job is to closely monitor the park to ensure that there is no collisions etc.

We are now recruiting part-time staff for this winter. If you are interested, please check the information below and feel free to apply!
