I had a brilliant time volunteering at the guest house! The work is super chill, usually only a couple of hours a day. Toshi is nice and can be pretty funny at times. The other staff and volunteers were lovely to be around. The guesthouse is international and there's always someone up for hanging out. Aoshima is a sleepy little town and perfect for those who want to relax by the beach and improve their surfing. Volunteers can borrow soft tops and longboards should they wish, or get a murasaki rental for a wider selection of boards for different days. Thank you for a wonderful experience!

I had a blast here, there were a lot of odd task like rock picking and grass picking but all of them pretty fun and only around 1-2hours a day. The host Toshi is kind and easy to communicate with. Really recommend this place for anyone that want to get in touch with nature and live a slower life. Aoshima is also perfect if you want to practice on your own and improve your surfing if you come at the right season. There is no free surf instructor led session but there are some fomies you can borrow for free. Thank you it was a great experience!

I had such a fun month in aoshima at the guest house and met some amazing friends from around the world. The work is very chill and toshi explains everything well and keeps to the schedule. You get loads of free time to surf go to the beach, hang out with the other volunteers explore the rest of Kyushu.

Aoshima is a beautiful place. Toshi makes you part of the family and diligence and respect go a long way. Work is uncomplicated, though I was here towards off-season. You can easily settle in to the small-town surf life and even big-city people will find it hard to leave the great community, laid-back atmosphere and doorstep-access to the beach. Miyazaki may be modest but your time is what you make of it: surf, explore, bond with other volunteers and locals, and Aoshima can become more a home than a holiday.

The experience of volunteering at the guest house was so much better than I imagined. The work is very easy and is often over in less hours than expected. The other volunteers really made my stay enjoyable, whether through card games, movie nights or just the general fun environment that we had. Surfing is a huge plus as it's the perfect activity for this place's vibe. Toshi was a great host, funny and kind. Overall if you want a chill experience, learn surfing, eat some fried chicken and hoard ice cream, this is the place for you.

Aoshima was so fun, toshi is a very kind host and i loved staying at the hostel, all the other volunteers were litballs and great meeting people from places I don't know much about. The work is very reasonable and if you are looking to learn how to surf or just to relax in a small town i highly recommend:))))

I had an amazing time at Hoojo! The work itself is super easy and we all worked together and supported each other. On most days the work is done quickly and we have loads of free time. We lived very close to the beach so we could go surfing everytime we wanted. I can recommend this to everyone! Big thanks to Toshi for being such a friendly and cool host.
