My stay in the hostel was wonderful and what I was looking for! I could met other volunteers from all around the world and everyday became so fun. The tasks in this beautiful guest house are easy and Junya-san is very welcomming and helpful :) Also the hostel is very quiet and perfect if you are looking for peace (also a mesmerizing place, there are plenty of beautiful spots!!). I also had the chance to meet local people and everyone was simply lovely! I'm so grateful for this experience, thank you so much for everything!!!

The guesthouse and the team were very kind.
If you like Japanese curry this is the place for you as you can enjoy it every evening and customize it to your liking. 😋 The surrounding nature is beautiful and you can take amazing photos of the famous Torii gate in the water at sunrise and sunset.
The only downside is having to take the ferry to the mainland but with a little planning it's manageable. All in all, a lovely place to stay if you're looking for a relaxing getaway.

My stay at the hostel was absolutely amazing, the work was pretty easy and straightforward, which ment you had good time to explore the Island and nearby cities. Junya-san was good at accommodating you if you had plans, and the other volunteers were nice and fun. I would definitely come again.

This was our first volunteer experience and we couldn't have asked for a better team to work with! Everyone was very welcoming and helped us adapt the first few days and taught us how to do the chores. The hostel was a very cozy place and allowed us to interact with many international travelers. We would definitely recommend the hostel to people looking to volunteer in Japan!

This was my 3rd volunteering experience in Japan and the best one. Host and other volunteers were very welcoming. I am very happy that Junya accepted me only with housekeeping experience, so I could learn a lot about working in a kitchen and reception. The place is very cozy and there is much hikes to do in the island. Also, plenty of time to visit cities near by. Time in Mikunya flew very fast for me and I hope I can visit it one day again! Best recommendations! 🫶🏻

I really enjoyed my stay through Worldpackers. Junya-san is very friendly and easy to connect with. The tasks were simple and not too demanding, which gave me lots of time to explore the hostel and relax. Overall, a fun and stress-free experience I'd gladly recommend :)

We had an absolutely incredible month at the hostel and couldn't recommend it enough. The host Junya and the adorable cat Miku-chan were so welcoming, and Junya is flexible to make sure you get to do everything you want to. We had a great time hiking the mountain and exploring the town and the coast. Hiroshima is really close so day trips are super easy too! The work is just as described and there are always clear instructions, and it feels like a very fair trade for accomodation in such a unique place plus TWO meals a day! We found a real sense of family with Junya and the other volunteers ♡

This was my first volunteer experience and I loved everything about it. The host Junya-san and everyone else were super nice and welcoming. They answered every question and guided me in my first days. Work never feels too exhausting, since you always have enough time to relax before or after your shift, in addition the days off are always refreshing. In this guest house you'll never feel forgotten or missed since there're always prologue around you who are always up to for a good chat. All in all I would recommend volunteering here, especially if it's your first time.

I spent one month in the hostel and it was the best stay of my year in Japan ! I met so many friends there ! The work is clear and easy. The Guesthouse is beautiful and, to make it perfect, the guests are really nice. There was great teamwork and we were always happy to help each other ! I have a lot of good memories on this island (hiking, going to the beach, watching the sunset together …). I wish I could have stayed longer, I'm already missing everyone (especially Miku!).

My first volunteering experience, a real opportunity to work at the hostel. I spent three wonderful weeks with Junya and the staff on this beautiful island. The mutual support among the team, shared dinners, hikes up Mount Misen, and nighttime strolls through a tourist-free the hostel all helped me build a genuine connection with the other staff members. Sometimes guests join us for dinner, which is a great way to meet people from all over the world. I wholeheartedly recommend volunteering at the hostel and having the chance to work with Junya. Thank you again for the warm welcome.
