This has been one of my favourite Worldpackers experiences. Junya-san has such a lovely guesthouse and provides a very safe and welcoming work environment. the hostel itself is beautiful and has such a special atmosphere. A month here was amazing and I enjoyed every second (even the rain). The jobs vary so it's not repetitive. Every night we sat and had dinner together (curry every night if you wish!) which grew to be a lovely routine we all enjoyed. If you enjoy nature and beautiful simplicity then this is perfect for you. Thank you Junya-san I hope to return one day - perhaps for your 40th..

I had an amazing time in the hostel! Junya San is super friendly and it really felt like a home away from home!! The work is either cooking, reception or cleaning, all of which are easy and enjoyable. I had an amazing time climbing Mount Misen and exploring the island and beaches. On your days off you can go explore Hiroshima or nearby cities like Iwakuni which I recommend!! Me and Junya went out for lunch after work one day which was nice seeing the local restaurants!! Another day all the staff made Okonomiyaki together, which was great fun. Definitely recommend! Thank you Junya!!!

I had the best time in the hostel ! The work at the hostel is easy, and is either reception, dinner or cleaning. We get enough time to enjoy the island in the best way possible. Food, culture, nature... the hostel is made to be slowly enjoyed. If you're looking for a nice seaside place to feel at home and connect with the locals, the hostel is for you! Junya-san is really considerate regarding our schedule and even took a shift for me so I could visit Okunoshima. It's also really nice to help run the guesthouse with him and Miku-chan (the cat). It was a pleasure to work there!

This is truly a great place to stay at ! The host is super nice and always makes sure your stay goes well. He is also very flexible with the schedule and makes sure everyone gets what they prefer to do. The job is simple you mostly do reception or cooking dinner but also sometime cleaning. There's a house for the staff and dinner is included. There's not much to do on the island but it's great for nature lovers and to relax. And if you are an animal lover you'll be happy to see Miku (the cat and the real owner of the house) all around the guesthouse.

Mikunya is a perfect place to volunteer if you are a fan of nature as the hostel is a beautiful island with great hikes and scenery. Dinner and breakfast is provided so you can get by without spending lots of money, and the staff and volunteers are great, kind people (plus the cat Miku). The only downside to the island is that all the shops close very early meaning there isn't much to do on a night

I really enjoyed my stay here! Junya-san and everyone else made me feel welcome, and Miku, the cat, was adorable. The tasks weren't hard. I mainly worked at the reception and cooked dinner. Besides that, exploring the island, whether hiking the mountain trails or cycling around, was beautiful. It was my first time volunteering, and I'm so grateful that I ended up at this place!

The hostel is an amazing place to volunteer. Junya-san is sweet, flexible, and helpful. The work is fair and the island is beautiful (especially in spring). There is so much to see on the island, but I would still recommend going to Iwakuni and seing the Kintaikyo bridge on your day off.

This was our first time working as volunteers and I honestly couldn't have wished for a better experience. Junya-san was extremely welcoming and made our stay fun and confortable. He was always ready to suport us and answer all of our questions. Work was easy and rewarding and I was able to connect and meet a lot of interesting people, practice Japanese and explore the island and nearby locations. We also did some cultural activities and met members of the community. I'll be coming back for sure. Thank you so much!
