I really enjoyed my stay and would recommend it to other volunteers! Andrew our manager was communicative and helpful, and the workload was reasonable, usually 1.5–2 hours starting at 8 AM (make sure to be thorough) The accommodations are basic, so come with realistic expectations about cleanliness and upkeep. I loved meeting other travelers and making new connections. Staying in the guest house was also a highlight; the slower pace encouraged me to explore places outside central Tokyo. I'd happily return. Feel free to message me with any questions about the stay, workload, or expectations I had :)

I had a wonderful experience volunteering at the guest house! Everything was well organized, and the work was clear and easy to understand thanks to Andrew's detailed explanations and precise instructions. I would absolutely recommend the guest house to anyone looking for an experience in Japan and wanting to meet new people. It was a truly positive experience, and I'm very grateful for the opportunity!

This is my second time visiting the guest house and they've always treated me just as well as they did on my first day. Working hours are respected, and if anything unexpected comes up, they're always very flexible and willing to help. You usually share a room with someone of the same gender, and there are shared bathrooms and a kitchen for the volunteers. Activities are also organised for the volunteers from time to time, and there's usually a great atmosphere. Many thanks to everyone! I hope to see you all again soon. 🩷 ありがとうございます

Great experience to live Tokyo as a local. The job is easy: two hours from 8:00 to 10:00 and the people are very nice!

The guest house turned into my second home when the rain wouldn't let me out of the house, and the people made it all so worth it:)

This was my first volunteer exchange and I couldn't have asked for a better experience! The host Kaz is amazing , very welcoming and friendly. The manager Andrew is awesome very easy to get along with. The tasks are straightforward you get given a task and have to complete it two hours a day Monday - Friday. You get so much free time to explore and it's a bonus having the weekends off. Only a 10 minute walk to the nearest train station and a 45min train ride to the city. Highly recommend this volunteer work it's amazing!

This was my first experience as a volunteer. I met a lot of new people and made new friends. The work was 2 hours a day. It was very realistic and easy work. Not too hard, not too crazy. We worked together in teams in the different places, which was good and the other people were friendly and respectful. I had a good experience and would recommend it too :)

The guest house was my first ever Worldpackers experience. The work was easy so perfect for starters! The Host and the Manager are really really nice and respect your needs 100%. The people there were sweet and welcoming which I really loved. The host even arranged events really often where we could talk to locals who live in Japan! Overall I recommend that place to new Worldpackers and experienced Worldpackers :) Thank you for this amazing time that I will never forget 😖
