Erika and Umi are the best hosts you could hope for, and made this experience unforgettable ! Their place is beautiful with a unique style, and Hiwasa is small but has everything you need. I stayed a month helping with both housekeeping and the renovations of their house. The cleaning is really easy, and helping Umi and his friends for the renovations was a lot of fun ! Plus you get rewarded with Erika's homemade cooking which is absolutely delicious :) If you're looking for a relaxing place where you instantly feel welcome, the hostel is perfect. Thank you so much for everything ♥︎

I had such a great time at the hostel! The hosts, Erika and Umi, are the sweetest and they were very welcoming and kind despite being busy with the upcoming renovations at their house. The work is not very difficult and the tasks are clear -- and afterwards you will be rewarded with the tastiest home-cooked meals ever! Personally, I never ran out of things to do in Hiwasa and it was a lot of fun to explore the area and the town. By the end of the month I was sad to leave... I'd love to be back at the hostel one day :) ! Thank you Erika and Umi !

Erica and Umi are super lovely hosts. As my first time volunteering I was a bit skeptic but they made me feel welcomed and at ease. I would recommend this place if you are pro active, asking questions and are curious. There is not a whole lot to do in Hiwasa, making it difficult at times. Erica and Umi are more than willing to help, I was interested in soccer and I ended up playing three Fridays with the locals in town! The duties were very easy and good to do, I was happy with my stay and truly a life time memory. When I return to Hiwasa I would definitely return to the hostel!

Working at the hostel ended up being like working with friends. Umi and Erika are sweet and caring hosts with whom you can share a lot of laughters. The place is beautiful and located in a rural Japan where you can easily enjoy its natural beauty. Hiwasa has a lot to offer and the hostel is the perfect place to enjoy a slow lifestyle on your free time. The work is easy and doesn't take long, you have plenty of time to enjoy your hobbies, discover the surroundings, connect with the guests or to share stories with Erika and Umi ! I highly recommend this place. It feels like home !

The hostel is definitely the best voulenteering I've done so far. Erika-san and Umi-san are really lovely hosts. The work is easy, the area is super beautiful and there is a lot to explore around the city. The food is super delicious and you got 2 onsen and a river to swim. Thank you very much for welcoming me in your home :)

I absolutely loved my time at the hostel and am sad to go! Erika and Ooumi are very sweet and genuine people and it felt like I was truly welcomed into their family. Their home, hostel, and pub are very beautiful and so is the surrounding town. Hiwasa is quiet and calm with wonderful forests, mountains, and rivers all around it. Not to mention the ocean is a short walk away. I'd definitely recommend their hostel to people looking for a casual, local experience, surrounded by nature.

This was AWESOME! Erika and Umi are great people! I really enjoyed my time here. They are amazing, communicative, and very helpful. Everything was very organized, and I never had any unanswered questions about the work — everything was clearly explained. Working with them was a great experience. I got to try many Japanese dishes, all homemade — which was even better than eating at restaurants, since they're both amazing cooks! Hiwasa is peaceful and beautiful, with stunning nature and many great spots to enjoy it. I highly recommend this place for a cozy and fulfilling experience.

Volunteering at the hostel was the highlight of my trip in Japan so far. The surroundings are beautiful, the tasks asked well explained and with a lot of feedback, and the lunch awesome! I had the chance to help at the cocktail bar (which is definitely worth hanging out if you want to meet some locals and try your Japanese). Thank you for everything Erika-San, Umi-Sensei, またね!!

I had such an amazing time at the hostel! Hiwasa is a charming town surrounded by beautiful scenery. Erika and Umi were so welcoming and generous, it immediately felt like home. The work itself was very straightforward and was always followed by a tasty and nutritious lunch. We were able to use the bikes and borrow their car to explore neighbouring towns, hikes and beaches in Shikoku. It may seem like a quiet town, but there was so much to do and time flew by. Surfing was definitely a highlight! I wish I could have stayed longer, I would 100% recommend! Thank you so much Erika and Umi!!

The month I spent volunteering at the hostel is going to forever hold a very special place in my heart. Erika and Umi are two of the most wonderful, fun, kind, and amazing people you will ever meet. Not to mention how great their cooking is! The work is easy and the hours are very generous, leaving you with plenty of time to explore If you like to get out of the busy citiy and spend time in the mountains to hike, at the beach to swim and surf, or if you just want to live a simple and slow lifestyle for a while, this is the place for you. The surrounding nature is absolutely incredible
