We have a wonderful experience in the hostel & the hostel. Kentaro is a nice and kind person and all the staff. We have activities in housekeeping, it was easy and fun. The place is beautiful with a great positive vibes. The town around is amazing, a lot of nature, mountains, bicycle roads, beach, and incredible sunsets. Also you have some restaurantes to try delicious seafood meals. Kentaro provide us bicycles to visit around. The shrine and a 3.000 years old tree was spectacular (5 minutes walk from the hostel). We recommend this place to someone who loves nature, connect with local people.

My volunteering experience in Omishima with Kentaro was amazing. The work was simple, well organized, and easy to complete. The place is very clean, and the island is peaceful and beautiful. I especially loved the sunsets, the waterfall, the mountains, and the onsen. It was a wonderful experience, and I would definitely recommend it to anyone looking for a relaxing and enjoyable stay.

Omishima island is a gorgeous place to live by nature. The locals are unbelievingly kind and welcoming. Kentaro is a great host and the work is easy. Both the guesthouse and living space are clean, tidy and organised.

Ken-san is a great host! We stayed at the shared house that is a 10 minute walk from the hostel café. The room was very big and comfortable with an A/C equiped. The job itself is very simple, if you're fast it won't take you longer than 2 hours. As for what to do there is a wine shop, a beer distillery, a wild boar ramen shop, and several other restaurants than open some days and for a short while. Be prepared to use cash because of the places here won't take cards, maybe Paypay. There are 2 supermarkets and a home store in town, as well as a 24 hour Lawson. We loved Omishima!
