I had a great time at the hostel. It is well located, near Beppu Tower, the beach and not far from Beppu station. Working hours are fair and we use to finish early, so more free time for us. Just keep in mind the hostel is a bit older. Thanks to Got who was super kind and willing to help me with whatever I needed!

My 3-week stay in Beppu was absolutely amazing. It is truly a piece of heaven. The accomodation is in a great location near Beppu Tower, very close to Beppu Station. The chores are easy and straightforward, and Masa is there to help you with anything you need. You can get free bike for the day, and use the hostel there which is very nice. I also recommend to check Beppu Wander Compass to get tailored recommendations and maps for Beppu (it helped me a lot navigating through the onsens and places to visit). Incredible views, also there are 2 mountains that can be hiked, so plenty of things to do.

I had a really good time in Beppu even though the start was rough because the previous volunteers left the place in a bad shape. After clearing up their mess I had a cozy place to sleep though. Work hours are fair and sometimes we were able to finish ahead of schedule so we had more free time. Ideas to improve the hotel where always welcomed and it was fun to help with it. Both owners are very nice people and welcoming. Worth to mention is also the hostel in the hotel which was nice to have. Beppu is a nice town with a lot to explore in and around the city. Nature is also gorgeous.

Working here will give you the chance to hang out with other volunteers and meet both local and international guests. The workload is reasonable —and flexible, depending on how strict you are with hygiene— and schedules respected, so you'll have plenty of free time to explore the area. Also, the almost-private the hostel is very relaxing after a long day!
