⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5 Kamakura is a beautiful city, and my experience there was amazing! Kuni is a wonderful host—kind, welcoming, and always making sure everyone feels at home. The volunteer house had a great atmosphere, and I met fantastic people from all over the world. The work was well-balanced, giving me plenty of time to explore. Plus, the food was absolutely delicious! I highly recommend this experience to anyone looking for cultural immersion. I hope to return one day!

Kuni is absolutely an amazing human being! Truly looks after his volunteers as if they are his own children! There are 4 different hostels you could work at, all similar work. You live in a guest house with a beautiful view up a CRAZY hill but it's the right of passage walking up that hill hahaha! Also you're about an hour from the heart of Tokyo! Definitely HIGHLY recommend!

My time in Kamakura was great. It was my first volunteer experience and Kuni was such a welcoming host and all of the staff members were so kind too. The food they provided on working day, was amazing. Also, the work was super easy and I had plenty of free time to explore Kamakura and it's surroundings. It was a great experience and I would recommend it to everyone :)
