I spent one month in the hostel 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 the hostel. 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 the hostel 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 the hostel and having the chance to work with Junya. Thank you again for the warm welcome.

I had an amazing two months at the hostel! 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 the hostel 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 the hostel 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 the hostel 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 the hostel 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 the hostel. It's so much fun having Misen in your back yard! I would highly recommend the hostel to anyone looking to volunteer!

I had and incredible stay thanks to everyone who was there during my stay🇯🇵🇩🇪🇦🇺🇨🇦 Junya-san is a great host, after just a few days I felt like at home. I enjoyed the various tasks and exploring the beautiful island. In the evenings japanese staff and volunteers ate dinner together and we had the funniest conversations. Junya-san also takes the time and joins almost every night. We became a great team in such a short time and everyone helped each other. I've never experienced a workplace like the hostel with such fun people and it will be hard to beat. ありがとう じゅんやさん

The housing is super cosy and very close to the guesthouse and the shifts are on rotation with different tasks so it doesn't feel repetitive. The staff all hang out together around dinner time so it's very fun! the hostel island is also a beautiful place. Junya-san is a really great host he's super kind and friendly, and I highly recommend coming to this volunteering opportunity!

Hi Mercedes,
Sorry I didn’t get to write a review, but I really appreciate all the work you did for us.
You’ve clearly had a lot of volunteer experience — your work was truly excellent.
If you ever have the chance, please come visit Miyajima again!
Thank you so much for everything!

The guesthouse was a cozy place to stay at. Junya-san was flexible with work hours if needed and always wanted to make the staff feel comfortable and enjoy themselves during their stay. Living with the other staff members gives you an opportunity to make life long friendships with people like yourself. There are a lot of different events held on the island, which helps with getting to know the Japanese culture as well as getting to experience something new. On your day offs you can easily go explore some other cities nearby as well.

イロナさん、Sorry I didn’t write you a review.
It was a quiet season with fewer guests, but I hope that gave you more time to explore and enjoy time with the other staff.
I truly appreciate your help during your stay.
If you ever come back to Japan, I’d love for you to visit Miyajima again.
Thanks so much for everything!

I'm very grateful I had the oppertunity to work a month in the hostel. The island is incredibly beautiful and there's lots of nature to explore! Junya-san is a really kind host and flexible with working days. However I can't give full stars because of a few things that happened. A last-minute volunteer (V), not confirmed on WP, was shoved back on the chest, by a drunk Japanese staff member (J). Later, J blackmailed the owner, saying he'd quit unless V was removed. V, who had done nothing wrong, was forced to leave the next morning. Contact me if you'd like more details, or want to talk to V.

Thank you for your help during your stay, even though it ended earlier than planned. That period was stressful, as some staff prioritized their own needs over the comfort of guests and team harmony. I’m sorry about how things ended with the other volunteer. Still, I don’t believe he did “nothing wrong” — shared living requires mutual respect. The Japanese volunteer behaved inappropriately. His actions were unacceptable, and he has since left. I take responsibility for that environment.

It was a great time at Mikunya! The tasks are flexible and you learn a lot. I thought it was great that you even had the responsible tasks, such as reception. All in all, it's a very nice guest house, you feel very comfortable and in combination with the people you can have a great time. I really enjoyed my stay! Arigatou gozaimasu Junya-san! 🐈🙏🏽😇
