毎年毎年お世話になったのは長野にあるスキー宿のオーナーとママさん。いつもゴールデンウィークにお邪魔していました。ボランティアというよりは「居候(いそうろう)」という呼び名になります。お給料はいただきませんが、宿で働く代わりに、食事とお部屋の提供があり、休み時間はリフト券をお借りしてスキーを存分に楽しみました。ママさんの料理は、とてもおいしく、盛り付けも素敵で、食欲をそそるようなごちそうでした。毎朝、毎晩のごはんの支度は、とても勉強になりました。朝ごはんが終わるとチェックアウト後のお客様の部屋と宿内の掃除が始まります。それが終わると昼くらいから夕方くらいまで、スキーを練習しました。スキーやスノボーが好きな方、たくさん練習したい方におすすめです。
I loved working in a ski lodge in Nagano with the owner and the wife. Every year, they always welcomed me during the golden week which was the big holiday week from the end of April through the beginning of May. This role was not called “volunteer” but “E-so-row.” This meat, working without receiving money but was supplied with meals and a bed. In addition, working as an “E-so-row,” they allowed me to go skiing during break time and letting me use a ski pass. I called the wife, “mama.” She was a wonderful cook. I had learned so many things from her. Every after breakfast, I cleaned guest rooms and other public spaces of the lodge. After that, I enjoyed skiing until the evening. Then I helped with preparing dinner. This was what I was doing there. I recommend this volunteer for those who love skiing, snowboarding and those who wish to take time to practice them.
