■ Staff’s Experiences

Just a 5-minute walk from the world-famous Atomic Bomb Dome and easy access to Miyajima Island?both UNESCO World Heritage Sites?our hostel is perfectly located for exploring both the historical and natural beauty of the region.

■Help
I won’t be able to reply to inquiries from people who clearly haven’t read the profile. I hope you understand, as responding to those messages would take time away from other potential workawayers to come here.

*We only accept one volunteer at a time and do not accept short stays.

■Minimum Stay:6 weeks minimum (up to 3 months)
A Japanese Working Holiday, Student, or Work Visa is required.
Please contact your embassy directly regarding visa questions.
