No nos alcanzas las palabras para contar todo lo que la experiencia en la casa generó en nosotros. Por un lado, el trabajo es super agradable y en un lugar hermoso del cual nunca te acostumbras a las maravillosas vistas, la casa donde nos alojamos era enorme, equipada con todo lo necesario y las comidas eran muy variadas y deliciosas. Para Oki-san y Megu-san no tenemos más que agradecimientos, fueron como nuestra familia e hicieron todo lo posible para que estemos a gustos en cada momento. Y con los otros voluntarios formamos un vínculo muy especial, todos fueron personas maravillosas.

I have only good things to say about volunteering at Oki Olive. The food was always so delicious, the accommodation was very homey and comfortable, and Oki-san and Megu-san were the best hosts! If you come during the harvest season, be prepared for busy but very rewarding work days. All in all, it was an unforgettable experience getting to live and work among so many incredible people while being immersed in the beautiful natural surroundings of Takamatsu. I will be back!

I cannot help but rate this experience the highest score possible. Even though it was my first volunteer experience, I know that I happened upon one of the best out there. Despite the host's slight idiosyncrasies, despite work hours not always being communicated, despite days off being fewer than expected, Oki-san and his homestay are truly deserving of five stars. If you are prepared to overlook the overtime culture, and the queue for the showers, and the other, albeit very few, hiccups, you will be rewarded in spades with a once-in-a-lifetime cultural and social experience. GO PICK OLIVES!

Oki-san and Megu-san were wonderful hosts. This was the first experience of volunteering on Worldpackers for my me and my partner and we absolutley loved it. It was nice to experience some time before the harvest season to see the preparations and have more time to explore the area. Then having so many volunteers join for harvest was a teal treat, we made fantastic bonds with the other volunteers and enjoyed brilliant Japanese food from a private chef. We would definitely love to come back some day - thank you!

Volunteering at the farm was an incredible experience and we felt like part of the family. They are so welcoming & caring. The food was amazing and we loved exploring the local area too (international drivers license needed to use the car). Before harvest we worked 6-12am, 5 days a week, doing farm work and cleaning the guesthouse. Once harvest started we worked 8am-4pm, 6 days a week, including a long lunch break & lots of snack breaks. Given the longer hours, Okisan provides more days off after harvest to balance this out. We can't recommend enough, thank you! We'll definitely be back!!

I had a great experience at Oki Olive. Oki-san was incredibly welcoming and personable, and was also willing to accommodate my requests to the best of his abilities (ex. lending me a bicycle since I had no license). Not to mention, his cooking was absolutely delicious. Work was 6 hours a day (with two days off per week) and primarily consisted of working at the farm and cleaning up the hostel. Overall, I think this experience is great for those wanting to disconnect from the city for a bit and learn more about life in the Japanese countryside.

I've absolutely loved my time with at Oki Olive. I ended up staying an extra month because it's so nice here. The work is good, there's always something different to do, and the housing and surrounding areas are beautiful! Oki-San, Megu-Chan, Kiling-San, and everyone else have been wonderful hosts. I definitely recommend this place but maybe bring a book because it's pretty rural.

I wasn't there for long but it was a very rich experience to be in the countryside! Everybody was really nice and even helped with my Japanese. I feel very grateful for my stay there. The only thing was that if you want to go sightseeing, you have to drive for 1 h. Overall a nice experience.

Oki-san was very nice, welcoming, very flexible and understanding. He provides delicious meals and a wonderful place to stay. Working in the farm area is hard work but fun. Working the guest house is a nice break from the farm in the middle of the day.
