Shimoda es un sitio precioso que hizo de mi viaje a Japón uno de los mejores hasta el momento. El hotel es prácticamente nuevo y mi labor fue ayudar a darlo a conocer al mundo, mostrando en redes sociales los servicios, habitaciones y comodidades que ofrece además de la cantidad de opciones que tiene Shimoda para turistas de todas partes. El equipo del hotel fue muy agradable y me hizo sentir uno más, una experiencia que me llevo para toda la vida y estoy muy agradecido de haber podido vivir.

Mi estancia en el hotel fue increíble. Los trabajadores fueron super amables y dispuestos a ayudar con cualquier necesidad que tuviese. El hotel y la habitación son cómodos y espaciosos, los alrededores tienen un montón de lugares para visitar y que merecen mucho la pena. En cuanto al trabajo fue ayudar a manejar las redes sociales y subir publicaciones, lo cuál fue sencillo y fácil de hacer, a la vez de ser un trabajo bastante reconfortante y que te permite viajar por los alrededores. Como único aspecto negativo la barrera del idioma, que dificultó la comunicación con el host

The host is super nice and easy-going. The work shift is either from 9am-1pm or 11am-3pm (at another location). One thing to note is how hot it gets in August. It was challenging to work and cook my own meals (I cooked around 6:30 aM). On my second day, I even got a headache from the heat. For me, the best part was the quiet, rural location. It was exactly what I was looking for. Waking up at 4:30 AM to watch the sunrise and go for a morning walk felt very peaceful, with hardly anyone else around. The dorm beds are a little narrow, but having a private bathroom and AC was a huge plus.

Our stay at the hotel was amazing. The staff is extremely friendly and ready to help out if you have any questions. The work is fair and the hours are respected. We mostly did house keeping which revolved around cleaning rooms/changing sheets. In between work hours there's limitless things to do around the area if you are interested in nature/beach. The electric bikes make the surrounding area super accessible and are very fun to ride around town. Would definitely recommend staying here if given the chance!

First ever volunteering experience and overall was a very good one. There were a couple times where I was confused was to what I was supposed to be doing but the staff are very nice. I was did multiple jobs at the hotel including making beds/cleaning rooms, social media work, and kitchen hand. The location of the hotel is out of town but you are in a beautiful spot. They provide electric bikes and a shuttle service that runs at particular times. Thus there are plenty of opportunities for you to visit Shimoda and/or around the hotel. Would recommend this experience if you enjoy slow travel

I really enjoyed my time at the hotel. Like all the other reviews the communication was not great but we got everything we needed and they were very flexible. The town is super cute fishing/beach village and the beaches near by are so beautiful. The work is fine but the staff is all super kind and helpful. I would definitely recommend staying here!

Volunteering alongside the hotel was one of the greatest experiences I've had so far in Japan, and the best part about it was - it never really felt too much like hard work, because the people working alongside you (the staff and the owners) are so kind that it makes you want to shed a tear as you leave. The scenery & nature make it limitlessly interesting, whereas the people make it equally as enriching. I would strongly recommend volunteering at the hotel.

The couple that own the hotel are great and honourable people! They always put an effort in into making sure they did their job well as hosts and I'm glad to have worked for them. They're also fun to talk to.

Worked In the Kamitaga Hotel, it was great. Routine consisted of making up hotel rooms and housekeeping. Only a couple hours work each day. Local area was beautiful & tranquil with easy links to Atami & Tokyo. The kitchen we had full access to was also really good.

This was a great experience! I absolutely loved all of the beautiful nature nearby and the electric bicycles you can borrow were very useful to explore the local area. The work hours are as stated and the staff and host are also very friendly and communicative. The room you stay in is also comfortable. The only thing that would be good to know before you arrive is that there are no shops within walking distance, so you should bring food with you right from the first day, and you also need to bring your own towel. The kitchen is also not the greatest, but there is a microwave which is useful.
