Work Conditions For Ski Instructors In Japan

Becoming one of the many ski instructors in Japan is definitely an experience to remember

. If you don't like the prospect of working while in a tempting vacation spot, you might change your mind when you discover the excellent conditions that are available to you if you teach skiing in Japanese winter resorts.

As a teacher during the winter season you can expect to be required to work from December to February. Prime spots to find skiing-related occupations are resorts in Hokkaido which is an internationally popular vacation destination because of the excellent snow that is just perfect for skiing. Hokkaido is also the best place to find work because this is the top spot in Japan where ski instructor jobs have high salary rates. You can expect to get anywhere between 1000 and 1500 yen per hour specifically to teach skiing in a Hokkaido resort.

Pay in resorts in other locations is a bit modest. In Nagano, an instructor can get around 650 to 750 yen per hour. This shouldn't be a problem though. Even if you manage to get only a lower paying job, the salary is offset by the outstanding benefits. Regardless of whether you work in a prime resort or not, you can always expect food and accommodations to be free. That means you get to save more of your pay or spend it for things you want to buy in Japan.

You do need to remember though that the free accommodations for ski instructors usually involve communal facilities. You may have to share dorms with fellow teachers both foreign and local; eat in common mess halls and bathe in communal showers. This may be a bit uncomfortable for you if you come from a reserved culture but this shouldn't put you off. The communal set up is a great way to help you appreciate the finer points of a completely different culture.

The only thing demanding about teaching skiing are the work hours. In Japan, tremendous stress is placed on diligence and efficiency. You need to work for about 8 hours a day starting from 8:30 in the morning to 5:30 in the afternoon for 6 days a week. You may sometimes be asked to work beyond the regular shift. During work hours, employees are expected to put all their energies into teaching and not in hanging around.

Despite the strict work requirements though, ski instructor jobs are still worth applying for because you get to enjoy as much as you can after work. As long as your shift is over, you can enjoy the snow on your own or with friends. You will also be permitted to explore and enjoy other forms of entertainment that may be available outside the resort you work in at your own expense.

There are no strict language requirements. You will however most likely be able to land a higher paying job to teach skiing in Hokkaido if you know a bit of Japanese. It is therefore a good idea to at least take an informal language course before applying for a high paying slot.

It is a fact that ski instructors in Japan don't always have things easy when it comes to work hours. Obviously though, general work conditions are fairly excellent. Where else can you earn and enjoy at the same time?
