Volunteering at the guest house was such a cool experience!! It was my first Worldpackers project and I genuinely enjoyed it. The town you live in, Yuzawa, is rather small but really cozy and famous for skiing. You live in an apartment in the town and get a car to commute to the hotel/hostel where you usually have either morning or evening shifts. The other volunteers were really nice too and it almost felt like a small family! The host even took all of us on a hiking tour. Definitely recommend

I had a lovely time volunteering here. Ryosuke, the staff, and the other volunteers were extremely welcoming and kind, and they made me feel included right away. The work is fairly simple and easy, and the location is very central with many things to do around the area.

I had a great time at the guest house! The only remark I have is that it could have been communicated further in advance that we wouldn't be staying in the volunteer's apartment because of renovations. Besides that Ryo was a very kind and helpful host, the work was easy and it's a nice environment!

Caring host that respected hours and is super flexible! Great place to be in the winter. My only complaint is that we needed to buy and make our own food 90% of the times which didn't match the descriptions and my own expectations. All other aspects are great

My experience at the guest house has been fantastic. You're completely immersed in nature, the place is stunning, and there's plenty of free time, there's a public onsen 5 minutes far and you can go skiing! The work isn't hard, you can practice the language, learn how to DIY and Ryo, the owner, is a wonderful person—it's hard to find someone who treats people like he does. I had great time in the hostel and with the volunteers with me. I highly recommend this place!!
