Untapped Hostel

Our hostel has a very friendly atmosphere and besides providing dorm beds, you can use the facilities in the building for free.
The actual working hours are about 3 to 4 hours, and you can do some sightseeing in the afternoon after your cleaning job is done.
We also have a lot of interaction with the staff and guests staying at the hostel, so we routinely share information about recommended restaurants, etc.
Also, since you can request a vacation, some people make two or three consecutive holidays to go sightseeing in a place a little far from the city.

Each of our hostel staff has their own personality and they are all friendly. Some are good at cooking, some are knowledgeable about good restaurants, some love music, some love art, and so on, We have a text cleaning manual for cleaning and duties, and for the first few days, staff will clean with you while teaching you how to clean, so even those who have never worked in a hostel before can easily join us. Our hostel and the bookstore attached to it often host events, so you can participate in live music and food parties.

Amazing experience!

Everyone was welcoming and happy to talk with us right from the start. During my stay i learned a lot about the japanese culture, while having a lot of fun!

You get lots of opportunities to explore the city and Hokkaido on your days off and when you have work, since you mostly get off at around 15.

The staff meals were also amazing!!!

If you consider doing a working holiday in Sapporo/Hokkaido, Untapped Hostel is an amazing candidate.

I had an amazing time at untapped. The Staff is realy nice and the Helpers living place is the best. We slept in the Annex building where we had our own shower, Kitchen and Washing machine. Its the moste Private and spacios place for helpers i've been. Nevertheless i still had many social contacts.

My time at Untapped Hostel was an amazing experience. It's a place filled with wonderful and fantastic people who make you feel welcomed and at home.
The work, consists of basic housekeeping, which never took that long. So if you want to live the Sapporo life; you're going to have plenty of time for that!
Living in Sapporo is really great. If you love the bustling city life, you have Susukino always filled to the brink with friendly people, or if you like the nature side more, then lucky you! You're in Hokkaido ;)
During my stay, I got introduced to a lot of locals which really made my stay!

Had a really great experience volunteering at Untapped.
The staff was welcoming and super friendly which made my time there a whole lot better. The cleaning tasks were fairly simple and with mostly around 2-3 hours of work each day,
I had plenty of time to explore the city and relax. Would highly recommend this place to anyone who wants to visit Sapporo and experience the Hokkaido lifestyle.
