Vom Workawayer (Yoni) für Host

For this workaway there are some mixed feelings and I would love to write a review to tell my experiences here. I was looking so forward on arriving, working hard and enjoying every aspect of what Japan and Hokkaido has to offer! I came to this workaway based on the good reviews and with the prospect on maybe being able to get sponsored. The… read more reality however turned out a bit different.

First, the profile states that the host would be able to sponsor my work visa easily. My goal was to get sponsored for the winter season and I contacted the host by introducing myself and asking specifically about this procedure. The first contact was good and of course he asked me to come in summer time so we could see how things would go. Excited as I was, I started to book my flights and started to plan my trip! However, when I arrived we had a talk about how long I was planning on staying and when I mentioned about maybe the possibility of a sponsorship, he stated suddenly the requirement of staying for at least one year for the sponsorship. In my first e-mail however I remembered that I clearly asked the host about the procedure around the sponsorship for the winter season and I was surprised by this sudden, last minute extra requirement. It was a bit of a disappointment.

Secondly, I and also all the other workawayers had some problems with the amount of hours we were working. On the profile it states 20-32 yours a week in summer time. I didn't pay really attention to it at first, it's a big range of hours. One week before I arrived I received an email personally from the host with the last information and in that email he stated 32 hrs a week help. In my opinion this is a lot for work for just accommodation and food. This information came a bit late but I had booked all my flights already so was on my way. When I arrived, the host and the other workawayers told me that some of the people before my arrival had complained about the amount of hours. As a result, in my first week the hours were reduced to 28 hours a week (7 hours a day, 4 days). With this 'deal' however we had to cook our own dinner. I really didn't mind but it was not the same as what was stated on the profile (“... is being provided with 3 meals per day. We or another member will cook lunch and dinner for you during help days”). The host also directly told me that he wanted to reverse the amount of hours the next week back to 32 hours. The reason was a weak excuse; because the common kitchen used and for the workawayers wasn't clean enough. We managed to keep the hours at 28 hours the next week after, but in my opinion we shouldn't have been in a position to tell him we wanted to keep it on 28. To me these (little) changes told me that the host is not committing to his promises and being unreliable.

The work. I really don't mind hard work and it was hard physical work. But in some cases it wasn't just hard work. My second work day I didn't really feel well in the morning, but I didn't want to back out. I told the host I would come for work but that I wasn't feeling really well. On arrival he took me to the basement of one of the buildings and explained to me that he had some work lined up there. The basement was a narrow place, low ceilings and with big piles of rotten and mouldy wood and growing big plates of fungus in several spots. I was given a mask and was supposed to move high piles of the rotten wood blocks which had a thick layers of fungus on them. Not wanting to show weakness and wanting to prove myself as a good worker I worked hard for the whole morning and later also the afternoon. Seven hours straight in a damp and stinky environment with only a lunch break while he was notified that I was sick. Besides the mask I didn't have any protection cloths and because it was last minute information I wasn't able prepare doing this kind of work as well. When I think back on it, this was for sure not a way to provide for a safe work environment for your workers. Especially when I found out in the afternoon from the other workawayers (all boys) that they all declined to do that job in the basement the day before. The next following days I refused to go back in the basement although he tried several times to get me to do the same job again. I explained to him that those working conditions are not good and should be done by professional and geared up workers. The next day I was asked to help moving rocks in the garden. These were massive rocks and another workawayer was supposed to move these rocks on his own first. He told the host that doing this job just by himself was impossible and said repeatedly that his back hurt, but the host completely ignored that and kept on replying that he should lift the rock with his straight back to prevent injury. Again, this discussion showed me that the host is not considering providing safe work conditions for all of us. Another discussion we had that same day with the host was the replacement of the head of the grass cutter. The grass cutter is a machine running on fuel and when we needed to use it it had a sharp blade attached. For the grass we needed to replace the head and asked the host how to do this properly and safely. The host told us we needed to sort this out ourselves so that we were able to learn from it for next time. In my opinion this is absolutely unsafe, if the head was attached in the wrong way people could have get hurt real bad. Also, there was besides safety glasses, no extra protection clothes available and was in many ways an unsafe working situation. On this same day my friend had a bad accident. With a sharp grass cutting tool he walked off the old and wooden stairs. When on the first or second step the wooden staircase collapsed and he fell about 1.5 meter down falling straight into rusty nails. I helped him up and rushed inside to find something to clean his wounds with. Inside the host was in a phone call and when we tried to explain we needed help he completely ignored us in the first place. When my friend started to explained what was going on the first reaction was pretty plain and he didn't seem to be worried or affected. We started asking and searching for a first aid kit but there was none and nothing useful around. This combination in working in an old place and with unsafe working conditions and having no first aid around doesn't seem right to me.

The other work we did during the workaway varied from low to high physical effort and were fine. However it would be nice, since most of them are high physically jobs outside in the hot Japanese sun, to have a 15 minute drink and snack break in the 4 hour morning block. This was not standard in the daily routine. And besides that, basically every day we worked about half an hour overtime. Everyday we had to rush to finish little extra things the host wanted us to do 10-20 minutes before we were suppose to head back to the accommodation and even when we got back we still needed to unload recycling or other work related things before we were free to go.

In general I could state that the workaway was unorganised. No one had an idea about what we were doing and what we were going to do. There was a big variety in jobs needed to be done but it was unorganised and no one was able to chose or pick a job they would like. Being unprepared for the heavy jobs I stated above also meant we had no proper clothing on location and we were not able to prepare on how certain thing could be done good and safely.

At last, before I arrived the host asked me several times about my international driver license. I was willing to go through a lot of trouble to get it, because he seemed worried and unsure if we would be able to do the work if I wouldn't have it. On arrival however it surprised me that we were all going to the same location and that the host would join us in the same car on the passenger seat or in the back of the car giving no direction. In my opinion the host is putting us workawayers here in additional risk driving in a foreign country.

After all, I have to state that not all was bad, the food was absolutely incredible and Sanae would do everything to get the food you asked for as quick as possible. Also, being able to take the car was a big plus, being in beautiful place and meeting the other workawayers from all over the world was the best. In the end we all decided to leave the same day, because of all the same reasons I stated above. I am sorry in a way that we all left at the same time. And I really hope things will change and get better for the next workawayers.

Vom Host für Workawayer (Matteo)

Matteo was very conscience and tried his best. He intended to stay for longer than he did, as I said that he would have Japanese to speak to, as that is the main reason he came.

Vom Host für Workawayer (Carlota)

Its hard to plan things when helpers do not at least say if they are not coming and not answer emails. Others have been turned away as a result that more than likely would have come!!
