About the project

📝 Detailed information

🏢 About the local organisation

This project has been organized together with IIzaka-Onsen Tourism Association since 2018. They promote a hot spring district called IIzaka-Onsen. The number of foreign tourists in the area is increasing. But the local hotel and restaurant are not good at speaking English because there is a few opportunity to communicate with foreigners. They try to call people from oversea and become familiar with English for the local people through communication with international volunteer. So they organized this long term volunteer program for promoting international and cultural exchange in this area.

💼 What the programme involves

Volunteers will help the tourism association do various types of works such as 1) discovering local resources from foreigners point of view and promote this hot spring district through social media, 2) conducting English lesson for local people (at hotel and restaurant, the Tourism Association…etc.), 3) teaching how to communicate with foreigners for staff of hotel, 4) joining local events.

🏠 Accommodation on site

Local Japanese style hotel called RYOKAN which is a run by a family. Meals are provided from the family. No need to bring your sleeping bag. No smoking. A portable Wi-Fi will be provided.
