Enjoy the best of Japan surf!

The place was very nice and chill. While it was relaxing, I had a good time with other Foreign and Japanese people alike at the place and was able to improve my Japanese a bit faster than when I was self-learning it. Huge thanks to the owner Toshi san and his wife Fuu to give me an opportunity to stay by his place and allowed me to give a good learning experience, he helped me and my brother with a lot of legal matters in Japan and any problems I had to deal with. Highly recommend this place for anyone who wants to get together with people and/or enjoy the beach (surfing is quite good there!).

Young people who like easy work & surfing leave 5 stars. No gloves to clean a toilet... with toilet paper? Shoddy all over. Damp, dirty staff accommodations where guests also stay (wow, kewl.) Some foul staff who have been there for 6 months, and Toshi not wanting to deal with it or fix things. It's ok that he doesn't work, but it's a mess. Google for the less positive reviews. I have 100% positive feedback for YEARS of RECENT farm work, btw.

Toshi San is so clever and he gets both the worlds order and the ocean ! If monopoly man and Filipe Toledo produce a Japanese offspring - it surely resemble ToshiSan ! Boards are free to take, once asked for! , and suits as well! , this little surf town is so stunning and all the vibes are chilled ! People are so beautiful and so is the natural environment of both the sea and the woods! Very much like mellow Byron Bay or Itacare Or Less commercialized Santa Cruz!!! Not only you find deliciousness everywhere you go, but it is so cozy to work at Toshi's place!

It was a super fun experience and I met the best people as my housemates. The work was not too difficult and we had lots of free time. Toshi san is also easy to talk to.

Had the most amazing time. Hostel is in a great location close to the beach... just a short walk for a surf. Toshi and his wife are both super cool and very helpful and made us feel very much at home. We could use the surfboards and bicycles and also attend yoga classes there for free. The work was only a couple of hours in the morning so you pretty much have the whole day to surf or explore. Met some amazing people at the hostels, other volunteers and guests and had a great time! will definitely go back. 10/10 recommend if you want to exchange a few hours of work for a chill beach getaway

To live and work at Toshi's propety was a very pleasant experience. its located right next to the ocean. after work I get the peviliage to jump into the ocean or grab a surf board and go on surfing right away! everyone who I work with are just like family members. great atmosphere overall.I was able to meet differen people all around the globe the whole experience helped me grow my social awareness. I wish I could stayed longer and learn more skills. Toshi is an easy going guy, who is super chill and relaxed. overall I would love to be there for more time in the future. lovely place!

Toshi and Fu-chan are such kind-hearted people! This place is very special and I cannot describe how grateful I am to have had to opportunity to live here, so please be kind and respectful as they deserve it the most. They sometimes organize events where I could meet local people and I could use the surfboards they have. The work is very fair and there is plenty of time to chill, surf, relax at the beach, walk around, visit shrines, go to the city or hitchhike to sightseeing spots around Miyazaki. If I come back to Japan I will definitely visit <3

Without a doubt getting to the guest house was the best decision I made, the place is a paradise to rest, the atmosphere is very calm, the tasks were very simple but they demand a high degree of responsibility, Toshi is an incredible person, he is a fair person I had a couple of problems and he always supported me, I was able to surf with Toshi's surfboards, and not to mention the people who stay at the hostel who create a very good atmosphere of coexistence and party; in short it was an incredible experience.

I had an absolutely wonderful experience. Toshi and his wife Foo made it a delight to live and work with them in Aoshima. During a time I needed accommodation during a difficult time in the world they made it a home from home, somewhere I miss already. I was glad to work whenever I was needed just to give back to them all that I could. I would recommend this experience to anyone: if you want to surf, explore Miyazaki or simply relax and live cheap in a seaside paradise this is everything you could want and so much more. Much love for everything you guys❤️
