We are a team of international staff working in a guesthouse in the middle of Naha, Okinawa. Work will be 3-4 hours a day / 5 days a week in exchange for a bed in our dormitory. You are mostly expected to help with the cleaning, but you are more than welcome to chat with other guests and make new friends (: Please note that a Tourist visa will not allow to work legally in Japan, you will need a Working Holiday, Working visa or a Student visa!

The hostel is a great place to be based! It is very close to everything, including restaurants, convenience stores, and local transport. I got to explore a lot of the island without having to spend a night elsewhere. (You probably will need to rent a car to achieve this but there's a cheap place very close to the sharehouse) The staff are super nice and willing to help if you're struggling to use Japanese services like Yamato etc. The work is easy, very basic and never takes longer than 3 hours. Overall it is a great place to volunteer at! Deffo worth a visit if you want to go to Okinawa.

This was my first experience volunteering Worldpackers, I was a little bit nervous at first but it went really well )) I've met a lot of new and nice people. The tasks itself were clear and understandable (≈2h , and even more of free days then expected)), it was comfortable to live there for 3 weeks. From the very first day I felt welcomed 😊 Naha is a beautiful city and there are many interesting things around to see. 💕 hope to come back one day 🌴✨

It was amazing! The hosts Mei and Shou are open-minded and you can always talk to them. The other staff members were sweet, too. I had a great time making dinner with everyone or going to karaoke For work: 5 days a week I helped cleaning the beds and the showers for 3 hours a day, which was a bit exhausting at first, but it turned into a good shoulder workout. It also felt great to be of help for the people in the guesthouse The beds were small but cozy, the kitchen well equipped and the free rice was great. And from Naha you can go anywhere by ferry or bus to explore the beautiful island

It was my first time with Worldpackers and a great experience. The hosts give you a warm welcome and the atmosphere in the guesthouse is friendly and open. It made me feel at home, while meeting lots of great people. The capsules are cozy and leave enough privacy to relax when needed. The work was as expected, 5 days a week, 2-3 hours a day, depending on the number of check outs. There is enough free time to experience Naha and other regions of Okinawa. The island has beautiful nature and is definitely worth it. I made a lot of irreplaceable memories, thank you for this opportunity!
