My time at the home was great ! This was my first workaway experience and stayed longer than expected. The place is very remote and there is not much action around in off-season but this makes you have the whole nature just for you (hikes, kayak, surf, golf...), perfect to have a relax travel break far from the overwelming japanese cities. The team is very easy-going, fun and flexible. And you will be sharing the house with other foreigners, very nice vibe going 🙂 The work can vary everyday which is nice ! Can be outdoor, enjoying the nature and the beautiful view.

Vincent, I want to express my sincere gratitude for your visit to Iwanai. I understand that this time of year may not have been the most eventful, but I genuinely appreciate the time you spent here and the invaluable support you provided for the various projects we had going on. Your contribution made a significant difference. I want you to know that you are always welcome back in Iwanai. Your presence and assistance were truly valued, and we would be thrilled to have you join us again in the future. As you continue your travels and eventually return to France, I wish you the best of luck with all your endeavors.

This was my first time volunteering in this type of program, and what an experience! I stayed for a month. Nature is amazing, I met a lot of great people (from the company and also other volunteers, as well as summercamp kids), working hours are respected and also flexible... Dan is very open, friendly, funny and easy-going, as well as reliable. It's definitely a good chance to see an internacional Japanese-gaijin environmet, to enjoy a peaceful spot far from big cities and to learn about flexibility and many other life lessons if you're open to them. Thanks again for the good memories!

Our stay at the home's Gaijin house was one of the best experiences that we've worked on. The work during our stay was in the kitchen with Chef Carl.He's one of the people that made it exciting and he always took care of us. The exchange is more like a job however, the benefits you receive are worth every second of work.Each day of work you get lunch and discounted meals. Also at the accommodation Riku, Joe, and Aki keep the house stocked with food it's so convenient. You will be staying in the sticks but the wifi is stronggggggggg and the resort allows you to ski for free.

Our time at the home Resort was short but fun!! The volunteer work is more than other experiences, and I worked in the kitchen, so it was definitely a real job, but the benefits are worth it. Most other volunteer experiences have some free food, but, here, there was a huge amount of groceries available to us and family meals cooked at the restaurant everyday that we worked. The place is very remote, and you can't really do anything besides ski w/a car, but skiing/snowboarding is free for volunteers and they have equipment that you can use for free. They have cars available if you drive also!

I had a great time in the home. If you want to travel off the beaten path, this is definitely the place. All the people I worked with were funny and solid workers. Would kill to be there during the snowy season.

This experience was an absolute breath of fresh air! I was there before the skiing season started but being on the mountainside in the fall was so beautiful! Everyone who lived at the house was wonderful and we had a great time cooking together and hanging out in the evenings. The work was pretty simple stuff while I was there but I'm pretty sure the kind of work changes with the season. My favorite parts were the people I met and the spontaneous weekend trip we took together, but I really loved everything about it and wish I could have stayed longer!

Gran experiencia en the home, fue mi primer voluntariado y Cesar estuvo al pendiente todo el tiempo de que fuera un gran momento. La convivencia con los otros voluntarios fue muy calida y vivir cerca de la montaña es una gran oportunidad para conocer otro lado de Japón. Gracias por todo.

Mi experiencia en la casa fue de 10. Tenía una habitación propia y las vistas eran preciosas ya que desde la cocina se podía ver el mar y al salir de la cas las montañas. Un par de días incluso pude ver ciervos al lado de la casa. La naturaleza en la casa es preciosa y aunque el pueblo está un poco lejos y es pequeño me parece un muy buen lugar para hacer voluntariado. Todo el equipo me trató estupendamente y fue amable conmigo. Me sentí cuidada y segura. Estoy muy agradecida por esta experiencia. Gracias.

Fue mi primer voluntariado por lo que iba con muchas preocupaciones, pero el personal es super atento y lo acogen a uno desde el inicio. El tiempo que estuve se cumplió lo pactado desde el inicio, es decir, si se trabaja lo que aparece en el perfil, lo cual le permite a uno tener el suficiente tiempo libre para conocer el pueblo.
