My time here will always hold a special place in my heart! The work was light—just 3h a day/4x a week. Though we were eight people in a room, it never felt crowded; each bed was spacious enough to comfortably store even large luggage. The location was also good, everything I wanted to see was within a max 30-minute reach.
What truly made this place special were the people I worked with. Everyone was incredibly kind, and we even made plans together outside of work. I highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a memorable experience!

I loved my time at J-Hoppers USJ. The work was relatively easy and manageable since you only work for 3 hours a day and get off the rest of the day. What made the work so enjoyable was actually the people you were working with. The staff as well as the other volunteers made the time staying in Osaka worth while! I will miss our late night get- togethers and game nights. I would definitely do it all over again if I could! Thank you for taking care of me, J-Hoppers Team :)

I had the best volunteering experience ever at J-hoppers Osaka Universal!
The hostel is absolutely amazing. It’s clean, comfortable and many useful facilities! The only thing is that the hostel is quite far from the main shopping/nightlife area, but easily accessible with public transport! If you like to go out at night, keep in mind that the trains stop at midnight.
Ken was a great host. He was very kind and helpful if you had any questions/problems. He made sure everyone had a pleasant stay. I can’t thank him and the other staff enough for this memorable experience.
I highly recommend it
