Also, we were able to use the kitchen and cook some Belgian and French specialities too, soooo cool.

I had a fantastic time in Appikogen with Kayoko and Hikita-san. The work is definditely easy, I had to clean the rooms every day which took about two hours and then either help at night with dinner or in the morning for breakfast. So a lot of freetime. Coming here in August meant that the weather was still awesome so I could explore the… read more

I was very lucky to stay with Kayoko and Hikita in Appi-Kogen. This has been one of the best experiences in my entire career as a volunteer. This is an amazing place, and I can only recommend it to all travellers coming to the Tohoku Area. I stayed here for 33 days during July/August 2018 and it was simply the best time I've had in Japan thus… read more

My 3 1/2 week stay in the beautiful nature of Appikogen was very peaceful at Kayoko-San's guesthouse. Don't be fooled by the 'new' listing as she has been taking in volunteers for about 14 years now!

Kayoko is very down to earth, and has many kind stories from fostering stray pets to traveling the world as a skier. We always enjoy conversations… read more
