I been in this place for two weeks and it was amazing. The host hiring did more than ever expected to give as the volunteers as many local experiences as possible. The work is easy. She will ask you to take an order for the restaurant 3 day of the week and help with the garden 2 more days.

My time in Kamigori has been phenomenal. I have felt very welcome in this town, both through the work and the activities. For the activities Hiring-san has been extremely generous and put in a lot of time and effort for me to be able to experience the culture: kendo, taiko, calligraphy, saori, tea ceremonies. The work is easy, and although knowing Japanese will make life easier, my extremely limited japanese was more than enough to get by. I am very grateful for the time I got to spend here, and for all the people I got to know. I feel like my time here has truly enriched my life

This was definitely one of the best and most unique volunteer i did so far. You get a deep dive into traditional cultures. You join classes every week. I even had the opportunity to play a little wadaiko concert with our group in front of some villagers. So you will get quite busy with you're experience there, but you will really get a lot out of this. Hiring-san brought me to all the classes and tried to give me a great experience. During my time i worked 2 days a week in the restaurant. On the other 3 days i had the opportunity to create two murals in the amazing garden of the restaurant.

I had a great time at Hiring-San's place! The work was easy, I did weeding twice a week for a few hours and then worked in her restaurant over the weekend. It was such a unique opportunity to meet local people and experience Japanese culture. I got to take Kendo classes and go to a tea ceremony which were super fun. I would definitely recommend staying with Hiring-San, the town she lives in is really nice and the activities she takes you to are great. Thank you! :)

I absolutely recommend staying at Hiring-san's place! I had a wonderful time getting to explore a beautiful countryside town and finding its treasures. Kamigori Town is seriously underrated despite all it has to offer. During my stay I helped with weeding for 4hrs: 10am-12 then 2-4pm. Hiring-san is an inspiring individual who has many stories to share. Her husband, Susumu-san, is very funny and energetic. Despite Hiring-san being very busy, she always made time to talk to me. I felt very welcomed and at home. Those who are accepted by her and have this experience are truly lucky individuals.

I've volunteered in a couple of places before and this is definitely the best so far. Hiring and Susumasan are very welcoming. Hiring especially takes a lot of time and effort to organize activities with locals that I wouldn't have been able to experience on my own. I painted a mural there and had a great time doing it. I only worked in the restaurant twice but the work was very simple. Volunteers also get their own section of the house which is very nice. I had a lot of time to work on my own projects as well. I really recommend this experience to anyone who wants to immerse themselves

My stay in Tousuibo was a very rich and authentic experience in Japanese countryside. Thanks to Hiring, I got to practice Kendō 3 t/week and Wadaiko 1t/week. I also experienced sadō, shodō and potery with the people of Kamigōri. They were extremely kind and I was very happy to practice my Japanese. Although communication was sometimes hard with Hiring -not related to language barrier- and sometimes made me feel uneasy, I believe she meant well and tried to take good care of us. The house she provides is very comfortable and she would always make sure we have enough food. I feel grateful 🙏

I had a great time in Kamigori. Hiring-san's house is comfortable and beautiful. The work hours were respected and the work was easy: 3 hours working in the restaurant thursday - sunday and 3 hours weeding on two other days of my choice. The Kamigori town is quiet and small but very beautiful. However, if you do not know how to ride a bike you will likely be confined to the house in your free time. Hiring-san is very generous and kind but I did struggle with communication and understanding sometimes. All the activities she generously provided were fun and enjoyable.
