My time in the coliving was absolutely life-changing. The staff is incredibly friendly and speaks fluent Japanese, Yuta-san is an angel and helped us with so many things even if he is very busy. Dorm conditions depend on fellow volunteers, we had our clean and had a ton of fun. Volunteers are responsible for their living space being clean. The Café work itself is also amazing if you are open to social contact. Mostly young Japanese guests that speak almost fluent English, so you can make friends and go out with the locals. The location is very convenient.

Even though it was my first volunteering experience abroad, it was amazing! The boss Yuta is very good and friendly (and also a good brownie maker), the house isn't huge but it's who you live there with that the magic is born, staying with the other staff members is like staying in a small family to go out , cook and chat together. The location is more or less in the center so the main attractions of Tokyo are not far away. the coliving is very relaxing, especially when you talk to the customers, in addition to chatting, you also learn more about the culture, the traditions.

Good experience overall, Yuta is a good host and it's hard to beat the location of the sharehouse. It can be tiring speaking with customers at the coliving, but that's what I signed up for! Overall a great experience, Tokyo is WILD.

The coliving is a really cool the coliving and place to volunteer at! You come into contact with both people from all over the world and locals, something that can be hard to get an opportunity for otherwise. The conversations are 5 times a week for 4 hours at a time which can get a bit exhausting if you're an introvert so just keep that in mind! The sharehouse is in a great location close to Shinjuku which makes it quite easy to get anywhere. Yuta was very accommodating and took us to interesting places/events. I ended up extending since I was enjoying it so much here. So definitely recommend!
