Niseko Town is located in the Niseko area, which is sometimes referred to as a "miracle place" by ski and snowboard enthusiasts.

Agriculture is the main industry as well as tourism, and rich nature and landscapes are spreading. Tourism is attracting attention, but I believe that Niseko Town The diverse human resources who live in this area are also attractive to the town.

*The video below also introduces the volunteer corps and the process of moving to Niseko Town. Please take a look!

Niseko Town has been recruiting local revitalization volunteers since 2011 to help with town development. Nearly 100 people have been recruited so far, and many of the graduates have settled and established themselves in the area, contributing to town development. On the other hand, the shortage of human resources in the area is becoming more serious, and there is an urgent need to address this, especially in areas that are essential to maintaining life in Niseko Town, such as public transportation and winter snow removal.
　
Therefore, we are recruiting "Specially Commissioned Regional Revitalization Cooperation Volunteers" as a new initiative, separate from the conventional (appointed) Niseko Town Regional Revitalization Cooperation Volunteers.
　
In this special commissioned type of program, volunteers are recruited to take on roles in fields designated by the town where there is a serious labor shortage, with the aim of maintaining and revitalizing local life. The town commissions volunteers, who are then employed by local businesses in that field and engage in activities to sustainably protect and revitalize local life.
Employment conditions vary by field, so please check the following website for details.
