Someone must join military service for 1 year of unremitting pain, exertion
and tears. At graduation ceremony, he speaks on the stage and says that this
duty is like a hell but he will miss it to the extent he wants to do it again
in the future.

# Question

What is the phrase for "a hell that makes you miss it"? Is 懐かしくさせる地獄 natural?

For example, I want to use the phrase as follows.

> まるで懐かしくさせる地獄のような会社で働きたいです。
>
> I want to work in a company that looks like a hell that makes me miss it.

Is 懐かしくさせる地獄 natural?
懐かしくさせる地獄 is not natural. In Japanese, an inanimate object doesn't tend to be
a subject of such a verb. See: [In Japanese, can we say an object asks a
question?](https://japanese.stackexchange.com/q/32436/5010)

So in order to make yourself understood, at least you have to rephrase it and
say いつか懐かしく思うであろう地獄, いつか懐かしくなる地獄, 恋しく思ってしまうような地獄, or something like that. But
it's still not something we usually say. Normally people say
[ブラック](https://ja.wikipedia.org/wiki/%E3%83%96%E3%83%A9%E3%83%83%E3%82%AF%E4%BC%81%E6%A5%AD)すぎてむしろ[やりがい](https://japanese.stackexchange.com/q/22914/5010)がある会社,
地獄のようでも好きになれる会社 or such.

My free translation is,

> "a hell that makes me(you) miss it"  
>
> 「まるで地{じ}獄{ごく}のような過{か}酷{こく}な経{けい}験{けん}でしたが、同{どう}時{じ}に決{けっ}して忘{わす}れることのできない貴{き}重{ちょう}な経{けい}験{けん}でもありました」  
>  It was the terrible experience as if I were in the hell, but at the same
> time it was the valuable experience I'll never forget.

> まるで懐かしくさせる地獄のような会社で働きたいです。

>  とても地獄のように大変だけど、一生忘れることが出{で}来{き}ない、そんな会社で働きたいです。

We don't use "地獄" in this context. I recommend you should express your will
without "地獄."
