I had a great time in Aoshima! I loved going surfing and fishing during the daytime. There were also plenty of great restaurants around to eat at. The local supermarket and 7/11 were also convenient. Toshi san kindly gave us the opportunity to improve our Japanese by working on the reception during the evenings. I also enjoyed talking to him and his wife Foo. I felt very welcomed! Staff accomodation is in a nearby building in rooms with bunkbeds and a shared kitchen, bathroom and lounge which sometimes guests use as well. The other staff were nice and I'd like to go back!

2022 was a long year but with this unique experience December passed faster than expected. I loved Aoshima and the stay. It was very close to the ocean and it was a perfect surfing spot. It was a relative chill season and I was fortunate to have plenty of time to get to know the place and surf. as a first time traveler to Japan, the Toshan and Foo was very welcoming and helped me better understand the country and Miyazaki. The host is a interesting person and although I do not speak Japanese we had interesting conversations during my month long stay! Aoshima and the guest house will be missed!

A great place if you love surfing and sea-fishing. The food at local resturants here is also fantastic. Toshi is an awesome host and this was a lovely place to spend Christmas and New Years Eve. Surfboards are free for staff! My partner and I were assigned to do hotel check ins on a 4-7pm and 7-10pm shift. I really enjoyed this, as we got to practice speaking Japanese to multiple guests a night, and throught the 6 weeks I would say only one guest was rude. The space is quite cramped with 8 bunk beds in a small room. Kitchen was hard to keep clean, usually down to other staff or guests .

The place was very nice and chill. While it was relaxing, I had a good time with other Foreign and Japanese people alike at the place and was able to improve my Japanese a bit faster than when I was self-learning it. Huge thanks to the owner Toshi san and his wife Fuu to give me an opportunity to stay by his place and allowed me to give a good learning experience, he helped me and my brother with a lot of legal matters in Japan and any problems I had to deal with. Highly recommend this place for anyone who wants to get together with people and/or enjoy the beach (surfing is quite good there!).

Young people who like easy work & surfing leave 5 stars. No gloves to clean a toilet... with toilet paper? Shoddy all over. Damp, dirty staff accommodations where guests also stay (wow, kewl.) Some foul staff who have been there for 6 months, and Toshi not wanting to deal with it or fix things. It's ok that he doesn't work, but it's a mess. Google for the less positive reviews. I have 100% positive feedback for YEARS of RECENT farm work, btw.

Toshi San is so clever and he gets both the worlds order and the ocean ! If monopoly man and Filipe Toledo produce a Japanese offspring - it surely resemble ToshiSan ! Boards are free to take, once asked for! , and suits as well! , this little surf town is so stunning and all the vibes are chilled ! People are so beautiful and so is the natural environment of both the sea and the woods! Very much like mellow Byron Bay or Itacare Or Less commercialized Santa Cruz!!! Not only you find deliciousness everywhere you go, but it is so cozy to work at Toshi's place!

It was a super fun experience and I met the best people as my housemates. The work was not too difficult and we had lots of free time. Toshi san is also easy to talk to.

Had the most amazing time. Hostel is in a great location close to the beach... just a short walk for a surf. Toshi and his wife are both super cool and very helpful and made us feel very much at home. We could use the surfboards and bicycles and also attend yoga classes there for free. The work was only a couple of hours in the morning so you pretty much have the whole day to surf or explore. Met some amazing people at the hostels, other volunteers and guests and had a great time! will definitely go back. 10/10 recommend if you want to exchange a few hours of work for a chill beach getaway

To live and work at Toshi's propety was a very pleasant experience. its located right next to the ocean. after work I get the peviliage to jump into the ocean or grab a surf board and go on surfing right away! everyone who I work with are just like family members. great atmosphere overall.I was able to meet differen people all around the globe the whole experience helped me grow my social awareness. I wish I could stayed longer and learn more skills. Toshi is an easy going guy, who is super chill and relaxed. overall I would love to be there for more time in the future. lovely place!
