There are certainly many more opportunities for working in Japan other than being an ALT. Numerous ski areas around the country are becoming ever more popular with foreign skiers and there are certainly quite a few jobs being created to cater to this market.

That's awesome!
I have some friends who work at various 山小屋 in Japan and it sounds like a wicked place to work. I'd love to become a hiking or ski guide for a resort someday!
