This was an amazing experience! It is a great way to interact with locals and learn more about Japanese culture. The hours are somewhat challenging as your shifts are often four hours, which can get a bit tiring but in the end is very rewarding! The accommodation isn’t great but not bad either. It is in Shinjuku which is only a couple train stops away from Shibuya, Harajuku, and other popular spots. Overall I would definitely recommend as not only is it a great cultural immersion experience, but also a great way to meet and bond with other volunteers from all around the world!

It was an amazing experience!
To be able to talk everyday with locals was very special. You are able to learn a lot and in more detail the local customs and traditions, as well as day to day lives of normal people.
Yuta was also great, always open to help and move things around if you wanted to change a shift with someone.
The location is also amazing, 7 min walk from subway station, super close to Shinjuku (15min walk) and Shibuya (25min train), so it is easy to move around everywhere.
Would highly recommend for anyone and everyone who is looking to meet locals.

The esperience is unique, meeting with local, having so much fun on the Friday party, the welcoming dinner...
The house location is near by shinjuku, you can go there by foot, and is one of the best spot in tokyo for night life!

I had a great time, everything was amzing, and unforgettable.

I loved volunteering at Mickey cafe! it's a great way to meet locals and learn about Japanese culture, I would recommend it to anyone. The work is very relaxed, just chatting to customers for a few hours a day. The only downside would be maybe the accommodation would be a bit cramped for some people and may be dirty when volunteers arrive. But it's really worth it, I met some great people, both volunteers and customers. :)
