I had and incredible stay thanks to everyone who was there during my stay🇯🇵🇩🇪🇦🇺🇨🇦 Junya-san is a great host, after just a few days I felt like at home. I enjoyed the various tasks and exploring the beautiful island. In the evenings japanese staff and volunteers ate dinner together and we had the funniest conversations. Junya-san also takes the time and joins almost every night. We became a great team in such a short time and everyone helped each other. I've never experienced a workplace like the hostel with such fun people and it will be hard to beat. ありがとう じゅんやさん

The housing is super cosy and very close to the guesthouse and the shifts are on rotation with different tasks so it doesn't feel repetitive. The staff all hang out together around dinner time so it's very fun! the hostel island is also a beautiful place. Junya-san is a really great host he's super kind and friendly, and I highly recommend coming to this volunteering opportunity!

Hi Mercedes,
Sorry I didn’t get to write a review, but I really appreciate all the work you did for us.
You’ve clearly had a lot of volunteer experience — your work was truly excellent.
If you ever have the chance, please come visit Miyajima again!
Thank you so much for everything!
Best,
Junya

The guesthouse was a cozy place to stay at. Junya-san was flexible with work hours if needed and always wanted to make the staff feel comfortable and enjoy themselves during their stay. Living with the other staff members gives you an opportunity to make life long friendships with people like yourself. There are a lot of different events held on the island, which helps with getting to know the Japanese culture as well as getting to experience something new. On your day offs you can easily go explore some other cities nearby as well.

イロナさん、Sorry I didn’t write you a review.
It was a quiet season with fewer guests, but I hope that gave you more time to explore and enjoy time with the other staff.
I truly appreciate your help during your stay.
If you ever come back to Japan, I’d love for you to visit Miyajima again.
Thanks so much for everything!

Beautiful island and guesthouse. It was leading up to busy season so there were a lot of staff there which was good. You get various tasks so the work doesn't get boring and it is 3 days on 1 day off. The staff all eat together and stay in a seperate house away from where guests stay. I really enjoyed my time at the hostel, thank you so much!!

I'm very grateful I had the oppertunity to work a month in the hostel. The island is incredibly beautiful and there's lots of nature to explore! Junya-san is a really kind host and flexible with working days. However I can't give full stars because of a few things that happened. A last-minute volunteer (V), not confirmed on WP, was shoved back on the chest, by a drunk Japanese staff member (J). Later, J blackmailed the owner, saying he'd quit unless V was removed. V, who had done nothing wrong, was forced to leave the next morning. Contact me if you'd like more details, or want to talk to V.

Thank you for your help during your stay, even though it ended earlier than planned. That period was stressful, as some staff prioritized their own needs over the comfort of guests and team harmony. I’m sorry about how things ended with the other volunteer. Still, I don’t believe he did “nothing wrong” — shared living requires mutual respect. The Japanese volunteer behaved inappropriately. His actions were unacceptable, and he has since left. I take responsibility for that environment.

It was a great time at Mikunya! The tasks are flexible and you learn a lot. I thought it was great that you even had the responsible tasks, such as reception. All in all, it's a very nice guest house, you feel very comfortable and in combination with the people you can have a great time. I really enjoyed my stay! Arigatou gozaimasu Junya-san! 🐈🙏🏽😇

As my first volunteering, the hostel was wonderful! Working with Junya san was quite enjoyable, as he tries to get to know each volunteer and tries to make the experience enjoyable for everyone. I think Junya san is a bit of an introvert, but he is quite flexible, considerate, respectful, and kind. And everyone was very nice as well :) The mountain has exceptional views, and Hiroshima isn't far from the hostel, so you can enjoy your days off in various ways! I really have nothing but good things to say of the experience at the hostel! Juyna san ありがとうございます ‼ ﾐ★(*･ω･)v Thanks!!★彡 I 💗 Miku 🐱

It was perfect! The house we stayed at was quite old but everyone was so welcoming it felt like a schooltrip! Junya-san was lovely and very understanding and the hours were quite flexible. The guesthouse and the island were mesmerising. I would recommend this experience to anyone!

Staying at the hostel was the best first volunteering experience I could have ever wished for. I had an absolute blast staying 5 weeks on the hostel enjoying the slow days and natural beauty of the island (especially the rainy days!!). The task were easy and not repetitive since you rotate between reception, dinner and cleaning. Junya-san is an absolute sweetheart! He really makes effort to take care of everyone equally. If you are looking for a breath of air with a touch of home, this one is the way to go! I will miss our dinners together 🥹🙏🏻🍛 Thank you so much Junya-san!
