I've done 5 work exchanges and this was my favourite! The hosts are incredibly kind, hospitable, and generous. The work was easy and fair, I was never asked to do more than I agreed to. The home was beautiful and the room was comfortable. The guest house is in a very sweet historic town with a lot going on compared to other nearby towns - a few nice cafes, a library, an indigo dying workshop, a beautiful river. That being said, it's still a quiet rural place with few other english speakers, so I would only recommend if you enjoy time by yourself.

I'm extremely grateful and thankful to leave this comment to this wonderful family with whom I had the honor and pleasure of spending a few days in the city of Mima, Japan. I had a great experience. Yoshiyo is a wonderful person and a good man. He picked me up at the airport and showed me around the city during the flight. His wife, Michiyo, is a generous woman with many daily responsibilities, caring for the family. I stayed for a week and truly enjoyed meeting them and learning more about Mima's rich history.

Nodokeya is a great place for a therapeutic stay! The host Michiyo-san was very kind and cooked delicious food everyday - my favourite was the curry! The work was simple, and since the guesthouse was quiet while I was there, I had plenty of time to work on my own stuff. Mima is a beautiful town with super friendly locals and beautiful scenery. If you're a bit shy (like me) you might feel a bit awkward and self-conscious times ahaha. I still enjoyed the peace and slow the guest house. Thank you for the wonderful stay!

Volunteering at Michiyo's house has been one of the best experiences of my trip to Japan. Michiyo and her family are very nice people, and they always made me feel at home. Everyone is very kind and always has the best disposition. I would be very happy to live the experience again, I highly recommend this volunteer program, it's perfect if you're looking for a balance between traveling, relaxing, helping the community, and socializing.

Mima is a really nice town surrounded by mountains, the perfect place if you're looking for a quiet place and lots of nature. Michiyo and Shibata welcomed me in a nice way, always available and kind! The food was so delicious too! I've got the chance to try lots of traditional the guest house food! The job itself is not difficult, it's about 2 hours a day! If you want to visit the surrounding areas keep in mind that the nearest train station is about 40 minutes away by walk. ☺ Thank you so much again for your hospitality and your kindness 🤗

My month at Nodokeya Guesthouse was unforgettable! The work is very manageable (closer to 20 hrs/week), and the owners go out of their way to make sure you are comfortable and well fed. From playing video games (switch) with the kids, to seeing the owner's band perform, to having a takoyaki party with the family and guests; I always felt included. This place is especially good for people with some the guest house language skills, as it is very immersed in local culture and there aren't as many English speakers. Thank you again, Michiyo-san and Yoshiho-san! 本当にお世話になりました。ありがとうございました！

It was a very enriching experience! Michiyo san is an amazing host and housekeeper. Yoshiho san was in a work trip most of my stay so unfortunately I didn't get to interact much with him. Michiyo san went up and above for me. With her little actions I could tell she was making her best to make me feel comfortable and making sure I enjoyed my stay. Foods were delicious, sometimes simple but always enough. And I had plenty of time to chill and explore. The people from the town are also very friendly. I would do it again!

I had a wonderful time in Mima. During my short stay there was an art festival to get a glimpse of the guest house culture with Kyogen theater, traditional dances and Hanabi :) Yoshiho-san and Michiyo-san are very welcoming and Michiyo-san is a great cook. I hope to come back for sakura ! ありがとう
