I had a really lovely time at the the guest house! I got to work on a small creative project, which was a lot of fun and I really appreciated having the freedom to organize my time. I also enjoyed going hiking and having some quiet time for myself. Ryu and Chiharu are both very kind and welcoming and you can always come to them if you have any questions. I really enjoyed my stay and recommend this volunteering! :)

I truly loved my two months here 🥰 surrounded by nature and the peaceful countryside. After months of travelling around Japan, it felt like a real reconnection and a second home. Ryuchi and Chiharu are incredibly kind and caring, always looking after our well-being. I loved working here, doing housekeeping and making beds it's was very relaxing. We shared amazing moments together with the other volunteers, from homemade gyoza nights to BBQs and fish by the fire. I'll miss this place and everyone so much! I'll definitely come back to the guest house 🫶 See you soon Ryuchi, Chiharu and Hina-Chan 🐐🏡🫶

My experience at the the guest house was incredible. My first volunteer gig and was received with so much enthusiasm and excitement. Ryu and Chi were both very accommodating and kind. The establishment is nice and comfy. I met wonderful people here and went to many festivals. One of my favorite moments, was gyoza night. Such a fun and delicious activity. Thank you Ryu and Chi for this unforgettable experience.

It was nice to spend a few weeks there, in between Asahikawa center and Biei, we were able to enjoy the summer festivals around the place. The hosts are nice, I mostly interacted with Chiharu who's really welcoming and kind. I mostly learned how to do the tasks as cleaning and assembling the beds from the other volunteers so I can't tell if Chi and Ryu are good explainers. The water has a lot of iron, not sure it's that good for health, two volunteers had skin problems, maybe not because of this but it probably didn't help. There are a lot of insects, even inside the houses.

Ryu and Chi are the sweetest hosts I had an amazing time, and felt at home You have the freedom to roam around with the scooter 🛵 I was lucky enough to be at some takoyaki and gyoza nights I learnt a lot about Japanese culture and also some Japanese :) Ryu took us on a hike on a free day, it was incredible! Thank you so much for this experience, lots of love and hopefully will see you again !🌻🌻🌻🌻🌻

I had a lot of of fun! Chi and Ryu are awesome hosts, super friendly and welcoming, and flexible with the schedule! The work is varied, mostly cleaning and sometimes helping with chores. They did takoyaki night, took us hiking and to an onsen, and had a few BBQ nights which was amazing! The area is very rural but they have bikes and a scooter you can use to explore or get groceries, and Asahikawa is not far away by train if you want to go to the city. It's the perfect place if you want a laid-back trip in the countryside! There's no AC in the staff dorm in summer but lots of fans.

I really enjoyed my stay at the the guest house. Ryu and Chi are wonderful hosts; kind, welcoming, and easy to talk to. The work mainly involves gardening, weeding, and cleaning the guest houses, and it's usually finished by 1 or 2 pm. Volunteers have access to bicycles and a motorbike, which makes it easy to explore the beautiful surroundings, full of farms and flower fields. If you enjoy being outdoors and don't mind doing some yard work, I highly recommend this opportunity!

Totonu place is a cosy and cute place in Hokkaido countryside where the wonderful landscape are a true break from the big cities of Japan. Work was really chill, we helped at housekeeping gardening and decorate the place with paints ! Thank you so much Ryuji and Chiharu for hosting us, spending good time bringing us around <3

We had a wonderful time! The food parties (Takoyaki & Gyoza night) were so much fun, and the hike with Ryu was a highlight. Spending time with Chi made everything even better. Work started with cleaning, later shifted more to gardening, plus helping with their house renovation. We also loved using the bikes and scooter provided. Just note that the area is very rural—having a car is highly recommended to fully enjoy beautiful Hokkaido!
