The hostel was my first experience with Worldpackers and the reason why I will definitely continue using it. I had an incredible time. Jamie and Ryohey take a lot of time to train new volunteers. They are extremely friendly, making it easy to ask questions and not be afraid of making mistakes. The atmosphere is great, and they are always helpful if you need anything. Since I'm learning Japanese, I had a lot of questions, and they were always happy to answer and help me. This Worldpackers experience is also special because you get a private room. The work is super easy. Thank you for the time!

It was a pleasure to have Sema be on our team and watching her adapt to the life in the countryside of Japan. She was always caring and always giving. She made sure the new volunteers were comfortable as well. Overall it was great to have her around and always eager to learn about the Japanese culture. Glad you had a great time in Izu! Continue to enjoy your adventures!

I had such a lovely time during my 5 weeks at the hostel! The work load was very fair and never strenuous, most of the time we finished way earlier than the 'official' work hours suggested. Ryohey and Jamie were so welcoming and always ready to help or give advice. The house where volunteers stay at is a short walk away from the hostel and I had an amazing time there spending the evenings together with the other volunteers. Shuzenji is a cute little town surrounded by beautiful nature and there is plenty to do for people who love the outdoors. Thanks for everything! 🙏

My time in Izu was an amazing experience! The work is simple, the hours respected, the hosts are very welcoming and ready to listen if you have any questions. My favorite part was how warm this little town is, there's plenty of opportunities to interact with the locals and they are the kindest people you'll meet. Without even speaking the same language, they all made me feel right at home and I'll never forget my time with them. If you're looking for a peaceful place, where you can make friends everywhere while exploring nature, this is the perfect experience for you! Thank you again!

It was a pleasure to have Anaïs work with us and see how she enjoyed her life in Shuzenji, Izu. She always had a smile on her, always eager to help, and always lightened the mood. She always had a notebook with her and always excited to learn a new word or phrase in Japanese. All the locals in the area would tell us their experience with her as well. We will miss her dearly and hope to have her visit us again. Thank you so much!

I am very grateful for this experience! Shuzenji is a sweet pocket place where all world troubles feel far away. Everyone I met was very sweet and kind. I'd say that people here are very accepting and even though you are a foreigner, you are not treated like one. Jamie and Ryohey care about volunteers and their experience here. They always try to help and do all they can to make volunteers feel comfortable and welcome. I am very thankful for that and glad to have met them:) Also, I had a wonderful time with my fellow volunteers whom I hope to see again! Thank you for all the time and talks!

It was a pleasure to have Katryna. She and another volunteer helped us out way beyond our expectations. They were actually one of the few volunteers that were able to stay for more than a month. Which is always a plus for us when you can stay longer. We were able to trust and have them take care of the work load in the morning while we do other errands. We were really sad for Katryna to leave Shuzenji, but hope someday to meet her again. Thank you so much for choosing Hostel Knot and Shuzenji!!

Tania! Oh my where to start...her personality is so beautiful and so energetic! Whenever she is around the room will light up! She always made sure everyone and everything is alright. And if she wasn't sure about some things, she would always ask. Always eager to learn the culture and always out for adventures. Wishing you all the best! Matane!!

My time at the hostel has been unforgettable! Shuzenji Onsen was a wonderful quiet town with its misty mountains, foot onsen by the river, and warm, welcoming locals. The work was light—less than 4 hours per day—leaving plenty of time to explore the peninsula, the beautiful rice and wasabi fields, savor matcha in cozy cafe, and spend time with fellow volunteers (shoutout to Taniaui and Valeui ;). I'll miss the quirky chats with the ladies at the onsen, the yoga session with Haru, and the dinner with Ryohey, Jamie, and the team. Thank you for everything, and until we meet again!

Clémence, oh my, we still miss you!
Was an honor to have her on our team and help us out with the work. She was always on time, always there, and always eager to explore the peninsula and enjoy the food culture here. So glad we had time to enjoy all the meals and activities with everyone. Wishing you the best and we hope to meet you again!!

Before going to Japan I was looking for some peace and stability in my life, I immediately realised since the first day that Shuzenji were the perfect place for me. It's all about nature, silence and real life. Ryohey and Jamie completed this harmony with their pure kindness and care. I feel grateful for this amazing adventure and and I highly recommend to all the volunteers around the world to come here and enjoy this lovely place. It's been too short but I'll come back as I said! Ciao ciao Hey and Jamie alla prossima! Tornerò per vedere I tuoi bimbi cresciuti che parleranno 100 lingue! Hahah

I really enjoyed my time in the hostel! Shuzenji Onsen is a lovely little town which feels peaceful and yet lively, as there are always plenty of tourists passing through. You can take buses and trains to other parts of the peninsula, allowing for lots of exploration. Ryohey and Jamie are very friendly, patient, and accommodating, and make a large effort to help when the hostel gets busy. The work itself is manageable, and can range anywhere from 1.5-3 hours. The accommodation I stayed in was a house which I found suitable for a month stay. Thanks again guys! I'm missing it already!
