Hostel in an old Traditional Onsen in Izu, 【Female only】

Netherlands

4

The hosts were very nice, respectful and helpfull. I think most of what I experienced that wasnt to my liking was kind of my mistake of just not planning and checking things before hand. I communicated with the hosts and they were very quick to respond to all my issues which I very much appreciate. I also left the experience way earlier because I noticed that I felt like it wasnt for me and the hosts were very respectful about my decision. The work was nice, it was quite easy, and during weekdays we were finished way earlier then 14:00.

This was my first experience as a volunteer and it was amazing! Ryohey-san was the perfect host and either recommended us places to go to or helped us organised an activity 😊. The team was also great and I had the best housemate I could hope for!! Even though Shuzenji is a bit in the countryside, it is not so far from things to do and the transport (bus/train) passes regularly, so it's easy to move. It's also the perfect place to meet locals 😉 All in all I will definitely recommend it!

The experience at the hostel was absolutely amazing. This was my first time using the worldpackers platform and travelling alone. So i was quite nervous at first, but the hostel made this first time incredible. Ryohey, the manager, is an amazing, pleasant, cheerful and a super helpful guy. He always helped us if we had any questions or concerns and gave us some great recommendations. I stayed in a bigger old house together with 1 roommate. The facilities where not extravagant but met all our needs. All in all, I would definitely recommend this experience to other travelers.

The hostel was such a wonderful experience. The host, Ryohey, was amazing; he was friendly, cheerful and helpful. He provided me with lots of information about things to do around Shuzenji, which made my trip very enjoyable. The work was simple and easy to do! The area is also incredibly beautiful, and there are a decent number of places to eat nearby the hostel. Our accommodation was clean and spacious and right by the bus stop that takes you to the station. Thanks so much to Ryohey and Yuki and also the lovely volunteers I worked with! Frankie and Camila you guys were the best!! :)

I had a great experience, I got to meet some wonderful people and also see some very cool places, Izu is so beautiful! The work is quite simple, but it also depends on the number of guests staying, however, it's just a couple of hours a day and you have the whole afternoon for yourself. Ryohey is a kind person and really easy to talk to. I would recommend this experience to anyone who wants to experience a more rural Japan. The town where the hostel is is very charming and there's a lot to do around. I already miss it. Thank you, Ryohey and Yuki, all the best! :)

I do not have the words to describe how much I loved my time in Shuzenji at the hostel! I miss it already. Ryohey is a fantastic host and is very communicative. The work at the hostel is only a few hours per day; easy and fair. Always working with someone else makes the time pass very quickly! The rest of the time is yours to explore the beautiful town - there is so much to see and do, and everyone is lovely. I was provided with my own flat to live in and made fast friends with the other volunteers (Camila and Kay if you see this I miss you!). Thank you so much Hey - I will return :)

Very relaxing time, the work is easy and takes little time. Ryohey is always helpful and can be contacted in no time if you need him. Would definitely recommend if you want some quiet time in nature

It will be an unforgettable experience. The place where I stayed was an entire house for me and another person (in this case, a couple). I had my own room with a toilet. The job is simple, and Ryohey has explained it in detail since the beginning. He also helps you when there are a lot of guests or when he is free. The working hours were less than expected, and there was a lot of free time. The locals are kind and more friendly than the average Japanese from other areas. They are very patient and will help you learn Japanese if you ask for it. The natural landscapes are great too.
