Beautiful gesthouse just a few minutes from the lake, really relaxing place. Both the permanent crew and the volunteers are so kind, we spent great timeseither cooking together, hiking, playing tabletop games, etc. The place is super well equipped and comfortable, I would 100% go back.

Working at the Guesthouse was a really nice experience. The Location is amazing, just a short walk from Lake Biwa, where you can take a swim, and the nature is very beautiful! The next supermarket is not really close but the managers were very nice and would drive you there when you need to go grocerie shopping. The team was also very friendly and I liked working with them!

I had an amazing time and Akane and all the other staff members always made me feel welcome. The working hours were always respected and with very clear tasks. The train station is 15-20 min walking and there are plenty of trains to Kyoto until late time. Also the nearest conbini is also a bit far so sometimes the hostel feels in the middle of nowhere. I was absolutely conscious of this beforehand and had a great time with the perks of a chill and peaceful place surrounded by nature. I am deeply grateful for my time spent there.

The staff were kind and helpful, the work is simple and doable for anyone, the facilities are more than enough, the location is perfect, on Lake Biwa and a station just next door. I would definitely return!

J-Hopper was one of our best experiences in Japan. We have been welcome by Akane, Eric, Kaito, Chii and Catalina ! They formed a wonderful crew to take care of this guesthouse. Work hours have been respected and the job was very simple. By the way the perfect organisation surprise us very much ! Finally we also meet wonderful people here, guest or volunteer like Elsa and Rebeka ! We hope to meet her again in Europe! We also recommend J-Hopper for the situation. The place is close to the station and you can visit all around the lake ! Kyoto isalso 1 hour of train !

The communication with Akane-san is really satisfying and fast, we set everything in 2 weeks. The place is quite large and there is plenty to do and help with, even off-season. The amount of work was just as described, it is also possible to get a lift to do the grocery shopping and back if Akane-san is at the reception desk. The work is simple, and only cleaning baths requires more attention so as not to get wet when doing it. The place is just stunning, from one side there is Biwa Lake and from the other there are mountains. If you are looking for a place to rest and unwind this is it.

I had a one-month stay at the guest house. The communication with the manager, Akane-san was very smooth, we arranged everything, including the information needed for visa application within ~2 weeks. Also later, Akane-san provided us with constant support down to our arrival at the hostel. On place, the atmosphere was excellent, we immediately got along with other volunteers. The working hours and duties were respected. The amenities in the hostel made the free time super enjoyable. The neighborhood allowed for exploring the beauty of local mountains as well as Kyoto was very close.

Every one at J-Hopper Biwa was so helpful and welcoming! Not only were they good to work for and clear on the daily tasks but they also went the extra mile by doing things like driving us to the grocery store and hosting a bbq with the staff and volunteers. The location is also less than a 5 minute walk from Lake Biwa and there's a direct train into Kyoto
