First volunteering ever and i already miss it so much 🌊 ok so aoshima surf was literally the best first worldpackers experience i could've asked for. Toshi and his wife Fuu are unreal. so kind, so warm, and genuinely interesting people to talk to. they made me feel like family from day one work was super chill, like a couple hours a day, so there was tons of time to surf and just vibe. the atmosphere is unmatched: ocean, surf culture, slow mornings. as a beginner surfer i couldn't have picked a better place 10/10, would recommend to anyone. i'm 100% coming back. thank you Toshi and Fuu

The volunteering experience is really really nice. All people I have met were kind.
You can surf, chill, skate and just enjoy Aoshima. It is just a vibe and I will come back for sure!
Thanks!

Truly the best experience! From day one, I felt so welcomed in Aoshima. It really feels like living with a warm little family. The work is very manageable and clear, and Toshi and Fuu are genuinely the kindest hosts you could ask for. Aoshima is the perfect spot if you're looking for a relaxing, slow-paced lifestyle right by the beach with great daily surfing. I couldn't have asked for a better stay!

Had a great time surfing and biking around aoshima. We have to do gardening sometimes and would be a bit tiring, but overall work is pretty chill and totally manageable.

My time at the guest house was incredibly relaxed. It was low season so there was little work, although toshi could always find something for us to do. The quarters are used but good and you keep it clean together. You can use toshi's surfboards, tho the bikes are sadly out of order. A relaxed atmosphere, surfing, a nice group of volunteers and a relaxed and friendly boss, what more can you want?

My first experience and such a perfect one! Can't imagine something better and want to return many times!! Toshi is amazing person so as his wife! They are so debonair and hospitable, truly feel like in a family! Work itself was really easy and mostly about 30-60 minutes. Making beds, general cleaning and sometimes gardening. All the other volunteers created a very pleasant and warm atmosphere, what I didn't expect! Free time we spent on surfing, it was amazing! Even though not a high season. So I left this place with tears in my eyes, already miss everyone and so grateful for everything!
