I really enjoyed the month I spent here volunteering, both hosts, Kot and masatoshi were really friendly , helpful and also just nice people! I like that it's set times and I got my full schedule for the month on the day I arrived so I was able to plan things to explore. I made some.good friends in the other volunteers and the people staying there. I would go back again for sure

I volunteered here for two weeks and had a lovely time. The work is easy and we usually always finish by 12 noon. Beppu is a small town, surrounded by beautiful nature with plenty to do. I would recommend!

I had an amazing time in Beppu. The work was simple and clear, and we were usually able to get it done quick and easily. Our rooms and common areas were comfortable and I will miss Beppu greatly. A big thanks to the hosts for being respectful, kind, and friendly.
