A really nice experience ! Toshi and Daisuke are really chill and the job is fair. You'll have time to discover the region and enjoy Aoshima for a slower life :)

The guest house is a paradise, thats the only way i can describe it! Toshi the host is super chill en nice, he's funny and he's a DJ so cant go wrong with that. The work itself is very chill and actually fun and relaxing sometimes, it was a nice start to the day and not long at all. The surf is absolutely perfect for all levels. The town itself is beautifull and offers some nice quiet and chill vibes. I would also recommend Hitchhicking on the island of KYU SHU, its a great way to meet local people! Toshi and Japan, THANK YOU! PS. If you see Ms. Kohana in the saloon, say hey for me!

I had a great time at the guest house! The work was very simple and there were plenty of opportunities to surf. Toshi and Foo are really lovely people and the other volunteers at the guesthouse, even more so :) The town has a very chill vibe and is the perfect place to rest and relax. Will definitely be back!

Toshi created an unique paradise for whoever want to experience a different way of living Japan culture. The place to stay is great, he is always available for any needs, passionate in talking with you if needed and very clear on how the work is supposed to be done. Surfboard will be there, wesuits as well, you only need to get to be there to live an amazing experience and to have fun with others volunteering. Great time. Thank you Toshi, as i said when i left you really create a perfect place for traveling dreamers as i am.

The house where the volunteers stay is a bit old, but the other volunteers help make it a nice place to live. The working hours are respected, and you can take your two days off whenever you want. We did cleaning in the mornings, but some extra tasks weren't mentioned in the ad, like fixing up new houses or doing gardening that felt more like renovation than regular cleaning. It would be a good idea to update the ad to include these. The host is friendly, but it was sometimes hard to follow what he wanted, and at times, I felt a bit uncomfortable around him.

I have to thank Toshi for this experience, it has been a beautiful way to experience local life, surfing and meeting wonderful people! The work is really easy and you have a lot of time for yourself to explore and discover new things, it's really helpful if you want to disconnect and experience what tourist normally don't. Coming back again, for sure!

I had a great time volunteering at the guest house through Worldpackers. The work was straightforward, mainly involving cleaning and doing fire, and the host was very welcoming. The guesthouse is located on a peaceful beach, making it a great place to relax. Overall, it was a great experience, and I would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a peaceful stay. You could also look for a job, because you will have plenty of time to do things for yourself. Unfortunately there were no waves in the last weeks, but you can always rent boards for free. That was amazing!! :)

The guest house is an absolutely amazing place to stay and work. The work isn't much and very easy so you can do other stuff like surfing most of the day. Toshi is a great person and host who you only can like. Also a great place to practice Japanese when you're committed to learn.. Overall a beautiful place for my first worldpacker. I even extended and I'm grateful for the time here. わくわくですよ。🤣

If you are into surfing whether you have experience or want to learn, you will love this experience. After a few hours of very simple work, you have the rest of the day free. So whether you want to go surfing, go on a hike close to Aoshima or just chill at the guesthouse is up to you. I don't have anything negative to say about Toshi or my stay in Aoshima in general, so a big recommendation from me.
