About Program
If you’re looking to live and work somewhere with a culture that’s completely different to you own – but with the security of an English-speaking job – then Japan is the working holiday to do it.
Why Work Japan
Home to snow-capped peaks, ancient shrines and off-the-wall cities – Japan is a total one off. With visa assistance, intercultural training, English-speaking ski resort or hospitality jobs, and arrival support to sort all your bank, tax and work permits – JENZA Work Japan is the chance to experience life in one of the most unique places on the planet.
How it works
To start earning as soon as you land, you have the option to pre-arrange a 3-4 month ski season job before you go with one of 30+ resorts and employers. Contracts typically run from Nov/Dec. Typical jobs include working as servers, front of house, drivers, housekeepers, lift attendants and more – often with subsidised staff housing and great perks such as lift passes and lessons.
