Program Details

Our resort re-opened in October 2023 and we are still new to the management and the property, so we are not perfect, but we try our best.
Our NRG company has now 8 resorts in Western Japan: 4 in Shikoku island, 3 in Kyushu island (including this Isa resort) and 1 in Okayama.

Activities & Shift

We require to work usually from 10am for about 4 hours. That leaves you the afternoon free to wander around. Your tasks will include cleaning guest areas like rooms and the gymnasium, as well as manual labor such as chopping wood and high-pressure cleaning.

In return for your help (4 hours/day, 5 days/week), we provide food and accommodation. Come enjoy the tranquility of rural Japan, immerse yourself in nature, and be part of our friendly team at Isa Resort!

Rules

We run an accommodation business, so we expect you to complete your tasks thoroughly while you are at work.
