Make Okutama your workplace.
Working in the great outdoors.
Meeting new people
Building our community together.
At Trekling, we are looking for part-time staff to help us bring Okutama to life.
Rather than just ‘doing a part-time job’,
why not join us and enjoy experiences that can only be had in Okutama?
The appeal of working at Trekkling
① Every day surrounded by nature
My workplace is in Okutama’s National Park, surrounded by mountains and rivers and filled with crisp, clear air.
You can work whilst refreshing both your mind and body in an environment unlike anything you’d find in the city.
② The perfect environment for cycling enthusiasts
For example, in the mornings, I handle reception and customer service.
In the afternoon, I sometimes go out on my bike to check out tourist attractions and plan my route.
‘Cycling, even though it’s work.’
There are days like that.
After work, staff can make use of the bike hire service as part of their staff benefits.
③ The opportunity to get involved at the forefront of community development
In Okutama and Ōme, new initiatives in tourism and community development are gradually taking shape.
You’ll have the opportunity to meet a wide range of people, including government officials, local residents and business owners.
‘I want to revitalise the local community’
For anyone who feels that way, this is a really interesting environment.
④ You can also try your hand at being a guide
For those who would like to try their hand at being a cycling guide in the future,
- Guide expertise
- Tour management
- Customer service
- Safety management
You can learn whilst putting these things into practice.
You can also seek advice on obtaining qualifications.
⑤ Brush up your Japanese or use English or your native language.
Apart from our Japanese customers, the number of visitors from overseas is increasing year on year.
⑥ The opportunity to try new things
We do more than just bike hire.
・Utilisation of traditional Japanese houses
・Utilisation of vacant properties
・Inclusive cycling
・New tourism services
・Local events
・Inbound tourism initiatives
We are taking on a variety of challenges, such as these.
‘I’d like to have a go at something like this’
We’d be delighted to hear such ideas.
