Overseas Applicants
For applicants who do not already reside in Japan, we do offer an overseas volunteer package which covers round-trip flight expenses and accommodation up to a certain amount as well as meals for all camp dates. That's a great opportunity for visitors to Japan to get the feel of what Japan is like and do some travelling before/after camp and on the days off. The overseas volunteers will work alternating sessions and stay in shared accommodation in Nozawa Onsen during the days off between sessions.
