I had an amazing time here, it's quiet but between the city, aoshima and the many places to visit down south you'll be well occupied for a month or two. The work is super easy and chill and Toshi is a great host

I had lots of fun surfing for the first time here! The hostel is really close to the beach and the surrounding area makes for some good hikes! The work was really easy and usually done within 30-90 minutes. The staff was really nice and welcoming, which made the time here very enjoyable! I recommend renting a car for some amazing daytrips, since places can be quite far in Kyushu.

The guest house was an amazing experience, the people (volunteers and staff) were always super nice and the work was easy and straightforward. There's 5 properties to clean, but we were in low season so we wouldn't go to all of them sometimes. The hostel could have a better kitchen, but its still pratical. It's very close to the beach and Aoshima Island, so not far away from walking to the surf spots. There's only one/two bikes to use and they are in poor state. Reccommend overall, enjoyed my time here a lot. Thank you 🙏 (And they have the cuteeeeest cat!!)

I really enjoyed my stay volunteering in Aoshima. The work was easy and there was lots of free time to relax and explore around. The host Toshi was friendly, welcoming and made you feel at home

Toshi is a wonderful person. From the very first minute, he helped me whenever I needed it. He also helped us with housekeeping when necessary, and even when he wasn't with us, he was always attentive to everything. He was always kind and had a great sense of humor. He and the other volunteers all lived together in a different building, but it was close to the workplace, which made it feel like home. I was lucky that the other volunteers and residents were very friendly, and we respected each other at all times. I would definitely like to come back in the summer.
