I had two wonderful weeks at the hostel. I am planning to come here again, and I highly recommend this place. The job is 5 hours a day 4 days, but you don't actually work the whole time. After doing the basic cleaning, you basically wait for any check-ins, cleaning, or café-helping jobs to pop up, but they usually don't take much time. The beds and the hostel as a whole are clean and stylish. Hiro is super nice and understanding.

This was my first time using Worldpackers in my home country, and I really enjoyed my experience at the hostel in Kobe! I appreciated the chance to learn about hostel management. Hiro-san was easy to talk to, flexible with the staff, and the work matched the description. He also let me help with photography and guest support, and even provided a weekly shift schedule, which was very helpful. Staying in Shinkaichi made it easy to explore Osaka, Kyoto, and Nara. I highly recommend this experience to anyone wanting to experience local culture and meet travelers! 3週間ありがとうございました♡
