I unfortunately had only allowed for 2 weeks in Uno at this workaway before flying out of Japan, but if I could've changed things there's no doubt I would've stayed longer.
The hostel is a very special, beautiful space and attracts the loveliest guests, mostly interested in coming to the art islands.… read more
