Volunteering at the hostel was a fun and memorable experience! Cheezuru-san, the manager, and most of the staff were very welcoming and caring. I had the pleasure of meeting some wonderful people, both volunteers, locals, and staff, and I'm really grateful for the connections and memories I made along the way. That said, the work at this hostel is not for the faint-hearted, as it can be quite demanding. However, the hostel is very clean, conveniently located, and offers easy access to food, both in the hostel and nearby.

I worked during the busy days of summer in august and the not so busy days of early september. It was definitly hot but knowing at the end of the shift i could refresh and go out with my friends i made or eat delicious dinner from the chef (wonderful guy, great singer also) always gave me energy. The work is simple and short hours. Plenty of time to visit the islands, eat wonderful udon, go on the train and visit local temples. All and all, i'll definitly come back!

Working together with volunteers from other countries was a wonderful experience. Spending time with them was the best time of my life. The hostel was a social, quite adequate, and fun place. We became friends with the guests who came. The hostel chef brings everyone together. On top of that, he even gave a live concert! Chizuru-san was very attentive, and her communication with the volunteers was excellent. It is the best place to choose for wonderful friendships and a great experience!

It was truly an unforgettable experience. I made so many amazing memories and met some incredible people along the way. We laughed, had fun, explored new places, and most importantly, we were always there for each other. I really hope we get to see each other again someday. And if you're reading this review, don't think twice — come stay at Hostel Jaqa! You won't regret it! ❤️
