I was given a very warm welcome by the team. Since it was summer, there were two volunteers, and things were generally quite quiet except during Obon. The meals were delicious, and I'm really going to miss them! It's also possible to hike up Mount Annupuri, which is right next to the guesthouse, and there are several onsen in the area that are easy to access.

I consider myself lucky bc work wasn't too busy during my stay. The tasks were diverse β€” from helping with a birthday party, deep cleaning, to labeling indoor greens ..basically whatever come up At the same time, I was really happy to share both work and daily life with Gurung, Niru, and Ram. They are all kind and friendly, and keen to share things I didn't know about Japan and life here. And their Japanese–Nepalese food was amazing! Couldn't ask for moreπŸ™ It was a pity that I couldn't stay longer to see the veggies growing in Ram's gardenπŸͺ΄ Thank you Masa San and the hotel!❣️

I had a great experience at the hotel. My working hours and day off were respected. I was able to ski a lot, as well as try onsen and connect with other travelers. I did tasks like cleaning, organizing, helping in the kitchen, and babysitting. I recommend this volunteer experience!

I had a great time at the hotel. I arrived for the end of the winter season and really loved the proximity to the ski lift. The work and expectations for volunteers was reasonable with lots of time to ski. A shared ski pass was provided for the local resort which was a nice surprise. The team was great to work with. Especially Gurung san and Ram san, who made sure we felt at home and were well fed. I'd recommend the hotel to anyone who wants to ski a lot in Niseko. It might be a bit isolated if you don't plan to ski, however there is a shared car you can use to drive into town or onsens.
