Had an great time completing various tasks inside and outside the resort which kept things interesting. Never a dull day of work! This was only heightened by the beauty of the home and the fact that we could use the vehicles for our own excursions around the area.

I had a great time at the home Resort. I was lucky enough to have volunteered with a great group of people which made staying at the gaijin house a lot of fun. It can be hard if there are no other volunteers at the same time. There are not too many things to do if you're not a nature person. But if there is a group of volunteers it can be a great time. Thanks to Riku, Dan, John, Yuka, and Aki for being great hosts!

Iwani resort is a beautiful place surrounded by nature and amazing views. The staff was friendly and the food was also provided. The tasks were easy and they are flexible with the schedule. Sadly I went when the resort was close, so I couldn't enjoy fully the experience of skiing. I applied for a kitchen role and I ended doing other things like painting and cleaning. There's not much to do around unless you take the train. Besides that I suggest that if you apply to this place try to go in high season when is more alive and there are more activities to have fun.

The members of the House and staff were supper welcoming. There are new people going to volunteer every so often and you are able to create strong relationships with them and your amazing surroundings!

This volunteering was a beautiful experience. Working with Dan, John, and the Resort crew in general was really great. They are all respectful of your timetable and how you combine it with any other job you have. The landscapes were stunning and we could visit and enjoy them thanks to their help in terms of transportation or useful tips. If you are a lover of Japanese food and want to connect with the locals, this is also the place for you. It's close enough to the home so you can try its restaurants and connect with its people, far enough so you can enjoy peaceful nature. 100% recommended!

I had such a fantastic time at the home Resort, it never felt like work. I worked mostly with the Summer camps & in the kitchen sometimes. The summer camp days were long, sometimes all day & overnight on occasion, but it never felt like work. Teaching the kids how to build a camp fire, make s'mores, kayaking & hiking all day pushed their limits and mine in a good way. Working with Aki in the kitchen, Dan & John with the campers was a great experience. They're all easy to work with & are good about balancing work & time off. I recommend volunteering here. I felt welcome, safe &respected.

This was my second volunteer experience but I think it felt more like summer adventure (in summer camp ) It took almost all my time since I had day and night shifts but I truly enjoy the time and was happy to help with everything (it definitely didn't feel like work and every day was fun and interesting + I tried a lot of new activities ) Met a lot of nice and interesting people. This was perfect for summer and I really would like to come back to this beautiful place. Already miss Hokkaido and the home Thank you)))

It was such a nice experience in the home, the whole crew is friendly and helpful, they will make their best to make you have a good experience, you will never run out of food in the house, just if you are coming to the home, be aware of the food, don't waste it. there were around 7 of us in the house, we split tasks and home cores. I learned various values during this time, i appreciate the work i did, and the importance of the team work. Being surrounded by nature was very important for me, as i am used to big cities. Thank all of you guys, and see you soon!!!

My time at the home was great ! This was my first workaway experience and stayed longer than expected. The place is very remote and there is not much action around in off-season but this makes you have the whole nature just for you (hikes, kayak, surf, golf...), perfect to have a relax travel break far from the overwelming japanese cities. The team is very easy-going, fun and flexible. And you will be sharing the house with other foreigners, very nice vibe going 🙂 The work can vary everyday which is nice ! Can be outdoor, enjoying the nature and the beautiful view.
