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 🤗

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!

I had a wonderful time in Mima. During my short stay there was an art festival to get a glimpse of the guest house culture with Kyogen theater, traditional dances and Hanabi :) Yoshiho-san and Michiyo-san are very welcoming and Michiyo-san is a great cook. I hope to come back for sakura ! ありがとう

I had a very nice experience, I really enjoyed being able to immerse myself in the guest house culture. The people of the city were very warm and always looked for a way to help you. The house is very nice, I loved the area and the family is excellent, the children are very loving and always in a good mood. I highly recommend doing this experience if you want to learn more about their culture and eat the delicious food of Michiyo.

Shibata family is amazing! Michiyo san is a super woman who takes care of everything and also cooks great food. I felt trully immersed on the daily life of this the guest house family. The kids were amazing and my room was really comfortable. I already miss them and I miss Mima, a really small town, but a daily walk along Anabuki river is something that heal your soul. I am so grateful for have had the opportunity to live with them. Whithout a car is not easy to visit the places in Shikoku island, but the guest house with them is really worth! The work is really easy and you will have plenty of time.

Staying and helping and Nodokeya was one of the best experiences ever! I was warmly welcomed by the Shibata family and immediately felt like home. During my stay I was always included in their community and various activities in Mima town, a tiny but pretty charming town. They speak very little English but communication was kind and respectful at all times. The chores were simple and easy to do, I always had time for my self besides my days off. Just not many sighting places close by. The room was super comfy and private. The food was always a delight! Thank U so much to all Nodokeya staff <3
