Hello, I had a really great time in the guest house👍 Generally, the working hours are very fair which was really nice because we generally did around 1h a day. The people there are the best and you will meet around maybe 4-5 other volunteer's at a time. There are also cleaning days for everyone which is important. But to be fair the kitchen got a bit empty when i was there because theres no more microwave and big toaster because the house circuit couldnt handle. Also the kitchen is a bit dirty and the pans old but it still ok. Sleeping rooms and common room have ac which is very very good.

Toshi and Foo's guesthouse is cozy, the environment of the house for the volunteers it's amazing , although some features could be improved, such as the cooking utensils. The working hours were super fair, couple hours in the morning at best and easy jobs. The rest of the day you could surf and move around with the bike. It would be better to have more bikes and in better conditions but it's okay. All I can say is that the experience covered all I wanted to do, surf and hang around with the staff and customers of the guesthouse. If I can I would definitely come back, thanks again !!!!!

The staff are like a family here. Work is chill. Aoshima is beautiful and peaceful. 10/10 Worldpackers experience that I will always remember and miss so much. Thanks Toshi :)

Great fun, was not expecting to stay as long as I did but was having so much fun. A couple hours light work a day is a good trade off 🫶

I had a wonderful time in Aoshima. The work was fun and the team great. Besides the agreed hours of work we spend a lot of the time surfing and exploring the area (there's so much to see). Can highly recommend and would love to go back.

This was absolutely amazing! The place is great and the work is fair. The hosts, Toshi and Foo, are very nice. I spent my days surfing and spending time with other volunteers, practicing my Japanese and traveling around Kyushu. I absolutely loved it ♥️😍

My stay in Aoshima was awesome, the work was fair and I spent the rest of most my days using the bikes and surfboards available, and spending quality time with the people I stayed with. I really hope to come back one day! Thank you 😊😊

Words aren't enough to express my stay there. I had no idea what to expect, but it was perfect. I learned how to surf💪🏼. The scenery whilst surfing is probably the best part. I will say that if you don't surf, you might find your time there a bit long as there is not much around. The other volunteers, toshi and foo, are all amazing people. The work isn't hard and you'll have the whole afternoon off. It's also a good place to practice speaking Japanese. I would definitely recomend this job ✌🏼 definitely will come back!

The guest house was my first Worldpackers experience. And what a great experience. I really appreciate the kindness of the host, Toshi. He is also an easy-going and comprehensive person. I also enjoyed the place and the other "staff". I hope I'll be able to renew the experience... Thank you for everything.
