Are you a passionate chef ready for your next adventure? Want to create your own menu in a calm, nature-filled setting? Hotel Kailani is looking for a creative, experienced Chef to take charge of our kitchen and help us shape a truly special dining experience — right here on Izu Oshima, a beautiful island just off Tokyo.

About Us

We’re a small, family-run resort hotel that opened in 2019. Inspired by Hawaiian hospitality and Japanese warmth, Hotel Kailani is a relaxing getaway where guests feel like family — and the food is at the heart of that experience.

We love the island life: fresh seafood, local veggies, ocean views, and a friendly community. If that sounds like your vibe, keep reading.

What You'll Do

• Design and prepare a menu with your own creative touch — any cuisine welcome!
• Cook lunch and dinner with fresh, seasonal ingredients
• Lead a small team in the kitchen and make sure everything runs smoothly
• Manage food supplies, inventory, and minimize waste
• Work closely with the owners to bring your food vision to life
• Help guests fall in love with the island through your food

Why You’ll Love It Here

• Visa sponsorship (we’ve done it before and we’ll support you all the way)
• Free dorm-style housing on the island
• Fuel allowance if you drive or bike
• Transportation support to the island
• Full social insurance coverage
• A tight-knit team that values creativity, respect, and balance
• Nature at your doorstep — beach, forest, mountains, all yours to explore

What We’re Looking For

• Minimum 1 year of kitchen or chef experience
• Someone who speaks fluent Japanese and can hold a basic English conversation
• A chef who’s ready to relocate and make the island home
• Passionate about food and excited to try new ideas
• Loves nature, slower living, and community-based work
