If I had to choose for only one place, ai would always come back to Kamigori. Beautiful restaurant and garden, beautiful people, so much fun, so welcoming, so kind, so delicious. These 6 weeks made coming to Japan a true cultural experience.

I had such a special experience with Hirin-San. She taught me the social normals staying in this beautiful rural community. I greeted to everyone I met when I walk or rode bike and I still do it in the new volunteer place. We went to local events together, which helped me feel connected to the people who live there. This gave me a real cultural experience that I know would be hard to find anywhere else. The lunches on restaurant days were amazing, and the food provided for cooking was always of good quality. Also,I really enjoyed our tea-time chats, where we talked about our different culture

I was able to do and learn so much about Japanese culture and meet many locals who are all very kind. If you're looking for a real Japanese experience in a nice rural community than you should definitely come here. Thank you again Hirin-san for having me.

One month that changed my heart. In a place that now feels like home, I found love, warmth, and a new family. Hirin and her husband made me feel like a daughter, not a guest. I lived authentic experiences, embraced a beautiful culture, and fulfilled a small dream: practicing kendo with a special teacher. But more than anything, I received a pure, sincere love that I will carry with me forever. Not everything can be put into words… But the gratitude I feel runs deep. Arigatou gozaimashita. 💛

I had a wonderful time in Kamigori, learning so much about Japanese culture and many other things. Thanks to Hirin-san I experienced activities like kendo, wadaiko, calligraphy, tea ceremony and met so many kind locals. I always felt like at home and enjoyed working in the restaurant (the meals were very delicious and healthy!) and helping out in the garden. Hirin san is working hard and is organising a lot to make everybody feel comfortable. In my free time, I loved cycling near the rice fields. I'll always be grateful for this experience ❤️

Staying with Hiring-san has been a truly wonderful experience. I'm deeply grateful for her kindness, patience, and warm hospitality throughout my time here. This was my first and only volunteer experience in Japan, and I couldn't have asked for a better one. I feel incredibly lucky to have met her and shared this time together, she truly made me feel at home.

Volunteering at Tousuibo was an unforgettable and life-changing experience! I practiced Japanese daily and enjoyed amazing activities like kendo, wadaiko, tea ceremony, pottery, weaving, calligraphy, cooking, and more, often at little to no cost. Hiring-san is an incredible host who works tirelessly to connect volunteers with kind, welcoming locals and provide endless delicious, healthy meals. Work at the restaurant and garden was easy and fulfilling. Be open-minded, flexible, respectful, and learn some basic Japanese to make the most of this rare opportunity! Highly recommended.
