Japan - the numbers

There are over 500 ski resorts in Japan. This includes the well-known Niseko resort region on the northern island of Hokkaido, as well as resorts accessible by bullet train from Tokyo, such as Gala and Hakuba. These locations offer excellent opportunities for ski jobs in Japan

37 million

Greater than the population of Australia, the first time visitor to Tokyo is normally surprised by the sheer number of people. Dig a little deeper and you will discover that this metropolis is full of small communities, each with a life of their own.

100

100 yen equates to about one Australian dollar. Contrary to common belief, eating out in Japan is not expensive. Food at convenience stores are cheap and tasty. A set meal "teishoku" can set you back less than $10.
