Volunteering at Michiyo's house has been one of the best experiences of my trip to Japan. Michiyo and her family are very nice people, and they always made me feel at home. Everyone is very kind and always has the best disposition. I would be very happy to live the experience again, I highly recommend this volunteer program, it's perfect if you're looking for a balance between traveling, relaxing, helping the community, and socializing.

Mima is a really nice town surrounded by mountains, the perfect place if you're looking for a quiet place and lots of nature. Michiyo and Shibata welcomed me in a nice way, always available and kind! The food was so delicious too! I've got the chance to try lots of traditional the guest house food! The job itself is not difficult, it's about 2 hours a day! If you want to visit the surrounding areas keep in mind that the nearest train station is about 40 minutes away by walk. ☺ Thank you so much again for your hospitality and your kindness 🤗

It was a very enriching experience! Michiyo san is an amazing host and housekeeper. Yoshiho san was in a work trip most of my stay so unfortunately I didn't get to interact much with him. Michiyo san went up and above for me. With her little actions I could tell she was making her best to make me feel comfortable and making sure I enjoyed my stay. Foods were delicious, sometimes simple but always enough. And I had plenty of time to chill and explore. The people from the town are also very friendly. I would do it again!
