Miyajima Guesthouse Mikuniya

Come and join our team!

In our guesthouse, we need helpers to do either cleaning, cooking dinner, reception, or night duties for about 5 days/week depending on whether they can speak Japanese or not.
If you want to help in another field, such as creating videos or advertisements on social media, that would be incredible. Accommodation is across the road from the guesthouse, and you will be sharing with other travellers like yourself. A shared kitchen, and free WiFi are provided.

Hello, my name is Junya and I was born in Hiroshima. I have run this guesthouse since 2013. I love travel, and have visited France, Spain, South Korea, and China. I can speak Japanese and English. During COVID, the customers were mainly Japanese, but as soon as the borders opened, lots of foreign customers came back. Miyajima is a small island less than an hour outside the city of Hiroshima. It is most famous for its giant Torii gate. The sight is ranked as one of Japan's three best views. While there are usually many day tourists, in the evening the area becomes much quieter and more peaceful. There are also wild deer on the island. The island can be reached by ferry [one every 5/10 minutes from 8AM to 6PM, first at 6:25 and last at 22:42] . The main part of the island is accessible by walking or biking but you can also come with your car [extra fees for bike/car for the ferry’s fare]. There are nice hikes to do around the island with a wonderful view of the west of Hiroshima Prefecture. You will see small waterfalls, shrines and wild animal such as deer, weasel or tanuki if you’re lucky enough. Due to recent events in Japan, we can only accept volunteers who have a valid Working Holiday Visa or Students Visa. This is a requirement by law and unfortunately we cannot change it. If you have a Working Holiday Visa, then please get in touch. We would love to meet you and work together.

I spent one month in Mikuniya and it was the best stay of my year in Japan !
I met so many friends there ! The work is clear and easy. The Guesthouse is beautiful and, to make it perfect, the guests are really nice.
There was great teamwork and we were always happy to help each other !
I have a lot of good memories on this island (hiking, going to the beach, watching the sunset together …).
I wish I could have stayed longer, I’m already missing everyone (especially Miku!).

My first volunteering experience, a real opportunity to work at Mikuniya. I spent three wonderful weeks with Junya and the staff on this beautiful island. The mutual support among the team, shared dinners, hikes up Mount Misen, and nighttime strolls through a tourist-free Miyajima all helped me build a genuine connection with the other staff members.
Sometimes guests join us for dinner, which is a great way to meet people from all over the world. I wholeheartedly recommend volunteering at Mikuniya and having the chance to work with Junya. Thank you again for the warm welcome.

I had an amazing two months at Mikuniya!

It was such a pleasure working with Junya, the owner. He always made sure we were having a good time and supported us in so many ways.

One of the best things about working at Mikuniya is how close the staff are. We shared dinners, had great conversations, and even went on trips to the mountains and the sea. The atmosphere was so warm and welcoming, and I loved connecting with both the guests and the team.

Big thanks again to Junya!

I had the most amazing month at Mikuniya guest house with Junya and the team!

I felt so welcome from the start and the work expectations were clearly explained.

It is a beautiful place and holds a special spot in my memories of my time in Japan.

Junya was super accomodating with the schedule, and happily gave me my days off in a row so I could go on trips when I asked in advance.

I highly recommend a Worldpackers experience with Junya at Mikuniya guest house if you are willing to complete the work tasks to a high standard and live in shared quarters with the other staff!

My stay at Mikuniya was one of the best volunteer experiences I've ever had! The staff are like family and Junya-san treats us as such. He and Yudai-san are very flexible and are always willing to lend a hand or an ear. The work is engaging and fullfilling, and you get lots of chances to meet all kinds of people from all over the world. The accom is comfortable, and the meals are delicious, not to mention the gorgeous island of Miyajima. It's so much fun having Misen in your back yard! I would highly recommend Mikuniya to anyone looking to volunteer!
