- CBCharlie· November 24th, 2024Pretty dreadful. Shambolic, run by children. Dreadful approach to guests with allergies. Really really poor living conditions - I knew it would be a tent but they shouldn't be full of bugs, not cleaned from the prior guests, and leaking / caving in! Any food you bring will get eaten and covered in bugs too - there's nowhere to store anything. It's all unclean. My worst experience in over two months in Japan. The volunteering is a waste of everyone's time too - you don't actually do anything remotely worthwhile for the community.Show moreTrip date: July 2024
- LWLesa· August 15th, 2024World Unite Japan is an amazing organization! I had a truly wonderful, enriching, and meaningful experience. Our leaders, Summer and Hitoki, were outstanding. They created an inclusive and welcoming atmosphere and arranged volunteer projects that immersed us in the culture and ecosystems of Sado Island. I will always remember the friendships I made with our leaders and other volunteers. This was an life-changing experience. I highly recommend it! LesaShow moreTrip date: July 2024
