My experience at the hostel was amazing! Shuzenji is a beautiful town with lots of nature and beautiful landscape, I really fell in love with this city full of kind and smiling people. I had a very great time with the other volunteers, I'm so happy to met them:)) Thanks a lot to Haru, Jamie and Ryohey for welcoming me so warmely and for sharing us a lot about Japanese culture! (And for showing me the delicious local sake) I'm so glad to met them! About the work, the task is really simple and if you have any questions they will always be there to help you so don't worry:)

İ had a very unique experience. Jamie and Rhuhey are very friendly and comminicative people. They invited us to oppurtunities to experience the local culture. And thanks to this , we had a change to meet wanderful Japanese people up close, and İ love them all. Izu is a thuristy place about 1,5 km from the City center. You will be amazed by its clean air and people. You can find places to visit . The accommodation was 5 minutes away from the hostel. Comfortable and cozy axcept for being a little cold in winter. Experiencing the traditional omsen was my favorite thing. Thank Jamie and Rhuhey

Volunteering at the hostel was a beautiful and enriching experience. The surroundings and onsen culture are truly wonderful. I definitely recommend it to anyone who wants to enjoy nature and the onsen culture. The management styles can differ depending on the staff, and I want to especially thank Ryohey for his kindness, generosity and professionalism throughout my stay! 感谢！Muchas gracias!

I had a great experience at the hostel. Jamie and Ryohey were very kind and helpful. The workload was pretty easy, usually only about 2hr shifts which gave me lots of flexibility and free time to explore Shuzenji. It was great to interact with the locals and get to learn a bit of Japanese! The free days also allowed me to get to travel around a bit and get to see other parts of the peninsula. Overall great experience!
