Whatever the reason, there are some exciting opportunities for part-time job seekers during the summer season (typically within June-September).

If you are the athletic type, you can join the guard crew to keep swimmers safe. This job may also require minimal Japanese. If you are hesitant about spending many hours in the sun, you can also be a receptionist, though the pay tends to be less.
