World Unite Japan is an amazing organization! I had a truly wonderful, enriching, and meaningful experience. Our leaders, Summer and Hitoki, were outstanding. They created an inclusive and welcoming atmosphere and arranged volunteer projects that immersed us in the culture and ecosystems of Sado Island. I will always remember the friendships I made with our leaders and other volunteers. This was an life-changing experience. I highly recommend it! Lesa
Environmental Conservation Volunteering, Cultural Immersion and Temple Stay on Sado IslandThe Sunshine City Prince Hotel was in a great location for activities. Limousine bus dropped me right at the door and dropped me back at the airport at the end of the trip. 3 day lift pass. I wish I added an extra for the arrival day as I sat around waiting from 11am until 3pm check in. Rooms were old. Definitely paid for the location which was fantastic. Food court was excellent. Most of the restaurants weren't open or only took bookings for big groups. The snow was fantastic and the resort was quiet. It was definitely difficult to communicate with the locals in Naeba, but that was to be expected. It was a good short trip and I achieved everything I hoped.
