Detalhes
We are located in a temple village at the base of a holy mountain. Therefore, there is no nightlife. There may be opportunities for volunteers to join tours, events, and activities. Please ask the staff if there are any available for you to join if you so wish. We are located next to Mt. Fuji so there are plenty of chances to see it. There is a bus that comes from Shinjuku straight to Minobu, if you would like to visit the city. Our town is located in the countryside, volunteers find the place to be very peaceful and quite with lots of nature to enjoy.
We ask all volunteers to help 5 hours per day in exchange for food and accommodation, as well as use of Wi-Fi, etc. During busy seasons, we may ask you to help out for longer. These extra hours will be exchanged for time off at a later date. We require volunteers to stay at least 2 weeks, however, at least one month is preferred.
During peak seasons (first half of November, the first three days of the New Year, cherry blossom season and Golden Week), we can become extremely busy during the day as bus tour groups come for lunch. Please be aware that schedules and working hours may change during the busy seasons. Volunteers may work 6 day/week instead of 5 days/week.
Tasks include aspects of the hospitality, including cleaning toilets and bathrooms, room-making, kitchen help, washing dishes, etc. We also have a cafe where, when busy, we ask volunteers to help out.
Atividades & Turnos
Daily activities are removing bed linen and used towels, etc. from guestrooms, vacuum cleaning, cleaning toilets and bathrooms, preparing rooms for arriving guests, helping in the kitchen to prepare guests' dinners, washing dishes, etc. Please be aware that this is real work and can be tiring. If you can cook for family dinners that would be a great help as a Japanese staff can be very busy.
If you have skills in social media, videography, photography, etc, we would appreciate your help. However, please keep in mind that your main tasks accommodation-related.
Volunteers shifts start at 9am to 2pm. Most days volunteers usually work 4 hours. Mornings and evenings are the busiest times.
Regras
We are both an accommodation and a Buddhist temple. Therefore, shoes should always be removed before entering the premises and stored in the shoe box outside. Be polite and respectful. No excessive drinking. NO SMOKING. We do not accept couples or people with special dietary needs such as vegans, vegetarians, etc.
