Meet Reo 👋⛷️
This summer, we’re excited to have Reo join the Nozawa Holidays team as an intern.
Reo is a university student and member of his university’s ski club, where he competes and trains throughout the year. He’s spending his summer here in Nozawa Onsen, combining hands-on work experience with his passion for skiing.
His days start early, helping our team prepare the villas, assisting with guest departures and getting things ready for the next arrivals. Once the work is done, it’s time to grab his skis and head up the mountain for training. 🎿
And when the skiing and work are finished, Reo gets to experience another important part of life in Nozawa, the community. He’s been meeting other seasonal workers, connecting with people from different teams around the village and enjoying the quieter side of Nozawa during summer.
For us, having young people like Reo join the team is about more than just work. It’s about giving the next generation of skiers an opportunity to experience life in a ski village, learn the hospitality business from the inside, build new skills and train in an environment where skiing is part of everyday life.
Nozawa Onsen has an incredibly deep connection with competitive skiing. The village has produced 16 Olympic skiers, and athletes continue to come here throughout the year to train. Skiing isn’t simply an activity here, it’s part of the village’s identity and culture. 🇯🇵⛷️
We’re really happy to have Reo with us this summer and look forward to watching his skiing develop over the coming months.
Work. Train. Learn. Ski. Repeat.
Who knows where this journey might take him next! 🤞⛷️
