I truly enjoyed my time in Uno with Shizuka, Mampei and Hinata!! The workload was really good and I enjoyed every shift in the cutest of all Cafes/ Secondhandbookshop 😍! The area is so calm and beautiful, you can explore the nearby islands with a looot of art and I met the kindest local people :)) Thank you for having me! Please come to visit me in Berlin!!

Mampei-san, Shizuka-san, どうもありがとうございます。 Working at ココカ has been one of the most memorable experiences of my time in Japan. I had the chance to meet so many kind, curious, and inspiring people from Japan and around the world. Tamano is a truly special place for anyone interested in art, architecture, and Japanese culture. It is a place that warmly welcomes both locals and visitors. There are so many beautiful places to explore and experiences to enjoy, and the other staff members are incredibly helpful and kind, making it easy to feel at home. I am so grateful for everything. Highly recommend!

I was staying in the guest house (the guesthouse) and was working in Kokoka (the book café/bar). Both of these places were so cozy and welcoming, I had a lot of fun staying there. My colleges were very kind and helpful, I really enjoyed the month I got to stay there! The location is also very great!
