Nodokeya is a great place for a therapeutic stay! The host Michiyo-san was very kind and cooked delicious food everyday - my favourite was the curry! The work was simple, and since the guesthouse was quiet while I was there, I had plenty of time to work on my own stuff. Mima is a beautiful town with super friendly locals and beautiful scenery. If you're a bit shy (like me) you might feel a bit awkward and self-conscious times ahaha. I still enjoyed the peace and slow the guest house. Thank you for the wonderful stay!

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 🤗
