I had an amazing time here! I had no idea what to expect because this was my first Worldpackers experience, but everything was great! When I arrived I felt welcomed right away. The staff and other volunteers are very friendly, helpful, and veryyyy funny :) It started to feel like home very quickly and I was sad to leave so I stayed an extra 3 weeks. I would definitely come back here in the winter. The work was pretty chill and enjoyable for the most part. If you go in the summer you get to help with the camp which is also fun. The ice cream was also a highlight.

I spent a wonderful month in the home! I made many friends and visited a lot of places! The landscape is beautiful, the food is excellent and the people are friendly! The work was fair and even pretty fun at times! I was able to visit parts of Hokkaido, hike around and go to some festivals! My only wish is to be able to come back, this time in winter !

My working experience at the home was my first in a foreign country and I would do it anytime again! I really liked the rural character of the home and I also enjoyed meeting the most friendly local people and getting in touch with international travellers. Also Dan is a very nice guy and managed our working times fairly! For those who want to experience the true japanese experience, you should go here. Coming back one day!

I had a really fun experience at the home ski resort, I voulonteer during spring, the home is a really cute village, the mountains are wonderful, the same for the coast (I even had the chance to arrive for the Hanami period). Dan and John (the responsibles) are great persons, really helpfull to acclimate you.

I've spent the most amazing winter season I could have ever dreamed of in the home! The working hours were respected, there were always people ready to help if needed, the living conditions were great, and so were the people. I'll come back!

I spent 2 months in the home for the winter season and loved it! I met so many incredible people, everyone was super friendly and the work was fun. Work is 5 days a week, 5 hours + 30 min lunch and 2 days off. Working in the kitchen was a little busy sometimes but overall easy. They have a separate house for the volunteers, we did our own groceries and put it on a tab at the supermarket which was super convenient. They have ski gear available (depends on your size) and the lift is free! The only downsides were the lack of central heating and bugs. Thanks everyone at the home Resort. <3

Dan is a gracious host and fun to work with! I enjoyed living with other volunteers and employees from around the world in the 'Gaijin House'. The tasks are physically demanding so be prepared to roll up your sleeves. The hours were always respected and it felt like a fair exchange. I had a fun time overall and would recommend it to anyone wanting to see rural Japan 🇯🇵

This was our first volunteering expirience, and it was awesome. Even though the place is a bit remote, it has a lot to offer. Onsen is right across the street, there are bikes you can borrow, hiking trails, or you can just chill in the house with the biggest TV. Working hours are respected, the management is really friendly and easy to get along with. Would recommend to anyone!

My volunteering experience in the home was fantastic! I enjoyed it so much that I extended my stay. Dan, the other volunteers, and the beautiful nature made it truly special. Work hours were respected, and in our free time, we explored many hikes and local spots. I highly recommend this place for anyone looking for a rewarding and enjoyable volunteering experience.
