Voy a extrañar mucho mi estancia en Shuzenji. El mes se fue volando, es un lugar en donde puedes salir a visitar varios lugares o quedarte solo en la tranquilidad de sus alrededores. Hay mucha naturaleza y lugares para hacer hiking o solo admirar el monte fuji. Los horarios son super cómodos y el trabajo no es complicado. Recibes ayuda de los demás en caso de estar solo y están dispuestos a convivir si lo propones 😊 Super recomendado 💕

Gracias Valeria for coming to Shuzenji and choosing Hostel Knot!
She was also energetic and hardworking. The work load itself isn't so difficult and she understood if she finishes early, she could explore more of Izu. Loved to see that she was able to enjoy her time in the peninsula and finding things to do. Thank you for sharing your food culture with us and holding a birthday party for our staff. Hopefully one day soon in Mexico and all the other countries :)

Volunteering at the hostel was my first Worldpackers experience, it has set the bar high! Jamie and Ryohey are lovely and clearly explained the tasks we had to complete. The work itself is simple and we always finished within 2/3 hours. Volunteers stay in a shared house with private rooms, I had the best housemates which made the experience even better! I recommend if you want a slower pace and to stay in a lovely quiet town surrounded by beauty!

Such a gorgeous area, and such welcoming and supportive hosts. I felt welcomed from the beginning and made great friends out of the experience. The house was a little old but it was cozy and authentic, it had all you really need for an extended stay. The work was straightforward and I had plenty of free time to explore Izu and its surroundings. If you want to experience the quieter side of Japan with the benefit of the onsen's then I highly recommend. During summer there is a lot of summer festivals and events with a very charming community. I had a lot of fun!

We were very happy to host Elisa here at Hostel Knot! From the first day she was friendly, respectful, and always willing to help. She did her tasks with care and responsibility, and quickly became part of our small team. It was a pleasure to see her enjoying Izu, getting along with other volunteers, and connecting with the local community. We truly appreciate her positive energy and kindness during her stay.

Cannot recommend it enough! Shuzenji is a beautiful place; if you're looking for a quiet town surrounded by beautiful nature (rice fields, mountains, rivers,..) this might be perfect fit! Overall the atmosphere is really peaceful and calm as it is not as crowded and touristy as other palaces! The tasks in the hostel are really simple and you mostly work with someone else together. Big thanks to Ryohey and Jamie, both of them are incredibly helpful and kindhearted. More than glad I decided to volunteer at the hostel!

I had such a great month volunteering at the hostel! Jamie and Ryohey are both very kind and welcoming. The work was quite easy and didn't take very long so I had a lot of free time to explore the town and surrounding area. The town of Shuzenji is so beautiful and all of the locals were very welcoming. This was my first Worldpackers experience and it has definitely set a very high standard! I can't recommend it enough!! Thank you again 🫶

Ryohey and Jamie are very kind-hearted people who prioritize everyone's wellbeing. They are always thoughtful and have very good leadership skills. They give us a lot of autonomy to manage our work and living spaces. Volunteers have our own private and comfortable bedroom. To all volunteers: let's all do our part to keep our shared space comfy and clean! Please be mindful to conserve electricity and water—switch off the aircon when heading out, make sure taps are tightly turned off after using the toilet, and clean up after cooking so we don't invite any ants and cockroaches :)

I had one of the best experiences in Shuzenji, it felt like home. This was my first experience as a volunteer, and I highly recommend it! I found a second home here, I am very fortunate to have met you. ぜったい戻ります。 Thank you, Ryohey and Jamie, for always being awesome, funny, and supportive ❤️ I never felt lonely in Shuzenji. The nature is beautiful and I will really really miss my time in the onsens ♨️ and the soft ice cream, and the wasabi, omg the wasabi so fresh 🗾 if I close my eyes I still can taste it... big thank you also to the girls! you're the best ✨
