What people love about Northern Japan Tours
- Environmental Conservation Volunteering, Cultural Immersion and Temple Stay on Sado Island
Definitely would recommend! I went to Sado Island in August of 2022, in the midst of Japan's reopening. Before I even arrived, the staff were very helpful in getting my visa set up and working with various hiccups during travel. Sado is gorgeous, very lush and the perfect location if you're looking for a Japan experience off the beaten path. Lots of opportunities to interact with the local population The accommodations at Koninji are more traditional, I was in one of the tatami rooms, but there other options too. The insect population in the area is thriving, so learn to coexist or bring a whole lot of bug repellent. Be prepared for steamy weather if you go in August! I'd suggest a two week stay as there are sometimes festivals and areas to see on the weekend that you won't get the time for in a standard week. The schedule can be affected by the weather as well, so if you miss an activity on week one, you'll probably get it in week two. Again, the staff are very personable and hardworking, putting sincere effort into creating an enjoyable experience. Happy Travels!
Great to mix with younger people who want to make a difference in the world and a heap of new experiences for me!

"Pretty 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.
