The home is amazing, you really connect with nature. There's not a lot to do around the house, the village is 40 min away walking, so you need to mentally prepare for that. If there's not a lot of volunteers you can feel a bit bored, but if there's more people is a really good experience. Also Aiwa and Mayu are incredible, so you'll be good. I want to thank them and Aki, Dan, Nick, Rikku, John, Paul, Kye and Louie for being extraordinary people. This place we'll always be in my heart.

The home restort will always have a special place in my heart. Loved everyone i met there, especially the girls that live in the house and helped the volunteers.

This was my first experience with Worldpackers and I thoroughly enjoyed it & would recommend! From what it seems, a very different experience coming in the summer vs winter so, if you have flexibility, chose your time of year accordingly. In the summer we assisted with manual labour type jobs. The resort & accommodation is out of town and without a car it made it more challenging to get out. However, the time spent with everyone in the house & the resort was a true highlight for me. Going to miss everyone I met at the home!

I had a wonderful time at the home resort and met a lot of great people. The work was good and varied from day to day so it never felt repetitive, I also learned a lot too. Overall it was a great experience and I would recommend people to do it

I was a volunteer here in winter and I had a great time. The kitchen staff is very welcoming and kind, I almost felt like I was part of their family. The hours are exactly what they say so 5 hours a day consisting of helping out in the kitchen and then cleaning everything after service. The scenery is beautiful and you get a lot of chances to go ski/snowboard. While the house is old and cold, the nice people sharing it with you will give you a sentiment of warmth. So really apart from the house there are no downsides to volunteering here and I guarantee you will have a good time!

The home ski resort is an absolute blast. The team there is fantastic, filled with so many awesome people who make you feel at home right away. Accomodations are comfortable and the work is super engaging and gets you acquainted with the home and the environment really well. I came here from the hustle and bustle of Tokyo and it was the perfect retreat. the home is a beautiful little town and just the view from the home alone makes coming here worth it! Would highly recommend. Huge thanks to Ceasar, Dan, John, and everyone else that let me have such a great stay here!

Worked here for a month over the end of summer and for my first WorldPackers it was overall pretty fun. The work is mainly landscaping, cutting grass and trees, but there were some other jobs too like helping setup tracks for the snow cats. Can be pretty difficult at times but enjoyed it. You are well fed through your stay here. The hosts are very friendly and generous, help with hitching a ride to Sapporo. I would say the communication of the requirements and organising the work at times could be done better and the only downside is the location is quite far from everything up in the home

I had one of the best experience of my life spending one month at the home resort. You can find here the best team work, it's insane the bond I created with people here and how they made me feel at home right away. Couldn't recommend this place more, Olivia found the perfect job for me giving me the possibility to develop my passions while working. The food was always more than enough and delicious, breathtaking landscapes and amazing people. The accommodation was comfortable and safe. I just recommend to get your international driving license since is a little far from everything.
