My experience at Jun さん's house was absolutely wonderful. He is very kind and generous, also very fun to be with since he's very knowledgeable in his area and is curious about other cultures. We shared a lot of interesting conversations about food, singing, career path, culture and life. Junさん even showed me around Numazu on the way we came back from an Onsen he treated to. I genuinely recommend this opportunity to anyone who wants to immerse themself in the Japanese the guest house home life and exchange culture, and I wish Junさん and his daughter all the best. Already want to go back!

I had a lovely time volunteering with Jun, it was a very relaxing experience. Another volunteer was there too, which made it even more fun. The work is fair; most of it happens on weekends when guests stay upstairs. Weekdays involved dishes and light cleaning. Jun and I went on walks and explored the area by bike, which I really enjoyed. The downstairs area is quite cluttered, so it might not suit everyone, but I didn't mind. Jun also cooks really good food. I stayed in a nice upstairs room he usually rents out. Would stay here again!

My time with Jun in Numazu was unmatched!! I got to learn SO much about Japan, culture and language. We sung karaoke, played games, went to onsen and the pool, cycled on the beach, took walks, and shared many laughs. Jun cooked very good Japanese food, which allowed me to experience Japan's culture first hand- with a local!! The work in the guesthouse was very doable and left a lot of free time for exploring and relaxing :) You also get to sleep in a tatami room, have a full Japanese experience! I would recommend staying here to everyone. And i hope to see Jun again :)

Jun is a wonderful person. He's a very smart man, curious, patient, and he has a great sense of humour. His daughter is adorable and very independent. The house is located in a beautiful area, which is near the beach. There's an electric bike available for guests to explore the area. The jobs would take 2/3 hours a day. Jun is not too strict regarding working hours as long as all the jobs are done. When I arrived I found the house was very cluttered. I am a very tidy person and it disturbed me a lot. However, once I tidied up the place everything was absolutely perfect for me. Thank you Jun!

I had a really good time with Jun! The working hours are really fair and not hard, the town is kinda small but it was nice to go around the beach and the parks. It was a really nice experience and I am really glad I was able to live in a Japanese house

I really liked this experience. Junさん is a very nice person with whom you can have a good conversation about life. He also showed me around a few times and even took me shopping because he knew I like second hand clothes. Also he cooks amazing food (I will miss this a lot!). He has a very cute daughter that is very independent. Numazu is a beautiful town with lots to explore if you like the outdoors and you can use one of the bikes to move around. The work is super easy and won't take long. The room is tatami style and super spacious which I really liked. I felt like home here! ありがとうございました

Mr. Jun is a talkative, easygoing host who makes you feel at home. Staying here is relaxed with no pressure – my only the guest house tasks were washing dishes and vacuuming. The rest of the time was mine to explore Northern Izu's peaceful seaside area with views of Mt. Fuji. Highly recommended for a peaceful, slow-paced getaway!!!

I had a nice time in this beautiful town. Jun is a nice man who could seem like a quiet person, but he actually is funny, likes to chat, and also likes to sing karaoke (I think he is good at it). He asked me a lot of questions about Mexico and shared the guest house a lot about Japanese culture. He also cooks really well, and while helping in the kitchen, I learned a lot about Japanese food. My room was a very comfortable tatami room. The work was very easy and fast to do. Numazu is a beautiful place, and I enjoyed very much my time wandering around. A perfect place to rest and reset. Thank you :)

Shifts could extend up to 9 hours. The host changed the job description once I had already arrived at the residence. So neither the description nor the agreed hours were accurate.

This person and previous give me 2 star feedback person stay with and speak behind my back.They think chat,eat with me etc as a work.I wrote exchange culture is extra thing.They are cooperate with and told me to give bad feedback.
Their need was the same to get free hotel and foods no work.
I don't want to accept it.
So I said Its okay you will write whatever.
She leave her broken suitcase lastly.Its illegal but she didn't care.
So I took the video and send to the worldpackers as the evidence.

Personal experience - may differ for others. Listing said 18hrs/week, but the host added mandatory 3hr the guest house 'talking shifts' + cooking (35+hrs total). When questioned, he said talking wasn't work, but kept it scheduled, and didn't give any option. Major red flag: pressured me multiple times, including late at night on my day off, to promise good reviews or leave immediately. I felt unsafe and left earlier than expected. He also deleted my chat history with him on WhatsApp and marked me as a "no show" to block me from writing the review. Please clarify expectations carefully and be cautious.
