Excellent! The location is great! There is a huge mall, multible fitness centers, a beach, a supermarket, convinient stores and many many cute cafes around. Takayuki is an absolute sweetheart. He is caring, talkative, hardworking and very inspiring. I personally found the work itself very rewarding. For us it was mostly easy physical labour (like carring wood to a trunk, digging up sweetpotatoes...). We even had a diner party with international friends of his which was one of my favorite memories of the trip. I learned how to make warabimochi and he even showed me how to make pottery!

The volunteering experience was great!
Never done gardening/painting before so it was really fun!
Takayuki was really friendly and interested, and organized 2 dinner parties (sushi and takoyaki) with all the volunteers and some of his friends.
If you want to practice japanese or spanish please ask him! He will gladly talk to you and help you practice. Also if you are a french speaker, push him to speak, he really enjoys it but he's a bit shy to ask π«£
Tokoname is a cute pottery village, a peaceful place π

I had an amazing stay at Takayuki's place. The house is located right in the middle of the village, surrounded by pottery shops, and you stay with other volunteers while helping to take care of the house. Takayuki introduced us to the village and its history, and also welcomed us into his group of friends and colleagues. It was truly wonderful to get a glimpse of his daily life at his workshop and to meet the locals. Highly recommended!
