There seem to be very few of these around on the net.
Is there any reason for this?

Any clues as to where I might be able to find some?

Any tips would be great.

Unless you're searching specifically in northern Honshu, Hokkaido qualifies as northern Japan. Subscribe to Ken Hartmann's Hokkaido Insider for pretty much exclusive job information about Hokkaido.

Tell Ken that Glenski told you about him.

I don't know about the rest of northern Japan but in Nagano it seems that people stick around longer than other places because the hiking and skiing are worth putting up with the jobs. Plus, the biggest single employer, Nova, just places people here and doesn't advertise by location. There are also a number of snowboard types who just rock up each year and door-knock the smaller schools looking for work.
