My experiences were wonderful. Initially, it took some getting used to given my age and adaptability, but thanks to the patience of Vincent and Claire, as well as the Worldpackers who had already been working there longer, it was actually quite easy.
The tasks were fairly easy and simple. They also didn't take long. In addition, it was nice to work together with other people.What surprised me is that we could use the amazing kitchen, that there was an ice machine, and that a car was available which we could use to do groceries or visit the local onsen....but no free drinks or events.

Claire and Vincent were amazing hosts! They made sure everyone was comfortable and they were always willing to help.

Working hours were clear and always respected too. I’d definitely recommend this experience :))

Vicent and Claire were great hosts. They were very accommodating and tried their best to make sure our stay was good. The volunteer tasks were straightforward. It was mainly cooking, housekeeping and cleaning during our stay. The area itself is surrounded by nature which we often went on a walk. Overall, highly recommend!

I had an amazing experience at the guest house! Vincent and Claire are wonderful hosts, and the lodge is very peaceful in the summer. Hours were always respected, and plenty of opportunity was provided to get groceries. I really enjoyed meeting the other volunteers. Don't expect a ton of activity outside of volunteer hours in the summer, but enjoy the hiking and peaceful countryside!

I stayed at the lodge during the low season, which is quieter compared to winter. I had my own little room in the attic, which allowed me to have my own space and relax when I wanted some alone time. The hosts made me feel at home from the very first day. Claire took me to the doctor and the pharmacy several times when I needed it, and she was always attentive and available. I'm very grateful for both. Since the area is a bit isolated, I would recommend coming with an international driving license so you can rent a car, and explore the beautiful surroundings.
