Working with Kang San in the bar was such a pleasure. We always had a good time at work but also outside of work when he took me for little trips, he always made delicious meals for me and it was overall a really good time. The Onsen at the hostel is also great for relaxing after your shift and everyone at the hostel is really nice! One downside you should be aware of is that this is an extremely remote place. If you don't have a driver's license in japan, you won't be able to move around a lot. The hostel does have bicycles if you want to go to a nearby village.

he proactively handled his tasks and was very meticulous with cleaning. His cheerful personality brightened up the workplace, and just having his around created a positive atmosphere. He was incredibly flexible and always responded to our requests with great professionalism. He was a wonderful team member, and I would love to work with him again :)

The guest house is such a hidden gem with a calm atmosphere, mountains and hot springs. Perfect spot to breathe,slow down and reset. The staff were incredibly helpful and friendly, and honestly without them it just wouldn't have been the same. I met amazing people, made real friends, and even got the chance to look a bit deeper into their everyday lives. We exchanged cultural differences, laughed a lot, and I even picked up a few words of Kansai-ben along the way haha. I'd recommend this experience to anyone who wants to see Japan in a different light and connect with people in a meaningful way.

I definitely enjoyed my stay in the guest house. The surrounding area is quaint and relaxing. You'll always be surrounded by the sound of water, whether it is a river, a hot spring or the rain. Because of the guest house Kodo you will meet lots of international travelers coming through on their hike, often eager to have a chat. The team a the hostel is super nice, and I had fun hanging out with them a well. However keep in mind that the area in fact is very remote. No shops in the immediate vicinity. The next small supermarket, cafes and restaurant are in the next town, about 45 min by foot.

A lovely place for a spiritual retreat in a small village surrounded by the mountains! I enjoyed the peace and quiet while discovering the surroundings, eventough it was mostly about hiking in the middle of nowhere, but the landscapes are so beautiful, it makes it worth it. Also, it is a great way to immerse yourself in the japanese culture that you wouldn't experience in the big cities, one of the big plus of my stay. Moreover, I hate cleaning but the task were simple and the amount of work wasn't huge, less than 3 hours as promised.

I had a lovely stay at the guest house - it was exactly what I expected. Lovely area with lots of nature, and hikes. It's pretty far from the bigger city Shingu, but I loved going to the nearby town Hongu, which has a really nice café. The staff house was very nice, I really enjoyed having my own room. The other volunteers and the staff really made you feel welcome and were always there if you needed help with anything. Would definitely recommend this place for people who want to get a bit away from the city, and just enjoy a slower pace.

My stay at the guest house hostel was an experience I definitely won't forget! The staff members are super kind. Especially Naohiro-san made sure that I was always comfortable and well! My coworkers turned this place into a home for the month that I stayed there and I couldn't recommend it more! Especially if you're also into nature and hiking! the guest house Kodo hiking trail is definitely worth doing. I was just awestruck by the nature everywhere! There were even some opportunities where me and my coworkers were able to use the company car to go to far away places! Thank you for everything!

My time at the guest house was really nice :) The work is pretty easy and you have the whole day off after finishing your shift from 10am to 1pm. I loved the team: Tomo, Yosuke and Naohiro! They are very sweet and ambitious people. They are interested in you as a person and try their best to make you feel at home :) Just keep in mind that this location is a bit remote so you should like hiking, quietness and talking to new people :) Thank you for the lovely experience!

I had such a great time at the guest house in the guest house. The team is amazing and made me feel very welcome. The guesthouse is very comfortable and you will often have the place just you and the team after shift, to relax, go on hikes or make use of the amazing onsen. The surrounding area is beautiful and it is a great experience to get to know the Japanese countryside.
