Mikuniya Volunteer Workers Required!

Would you like to work with us?
Volunteer at Mikuniya
.

As you know, the tourism industry has suffered greatly due to the novel coronavirus, and Miyajima is no exception. More than 90% of the guests at Mikuniya were foreigners, but the coronavirus has restricted tourism related travel to Japan from foreign countries which has made it very difficult for all of us.

Accommodation subsidy programs have been started by cities and prefectures, along with the Japanese Government’s Go To Travel campaign.
However, the impact of these programs on low cost accommodation providers have been minimal with occupancy rates at less than 10% of what they were last year.

We are working hard at Mikuniya to survive, but it is now difficult as it is no longer possible to afford to pay staff to help. Therefore, we would like to ask people to come and assist with volunteer work at Mikuniya.

Message from the owner.

My name is Junya Terazawa and I own and manage Mikuniya.

We are facing unprecedented times due to the novel coronavirus, and I do require support to be able to maintain the same level of service to guests as I could previously.

I would really appreciate any assistance you could possibly provide at Mikuniya.
