I had a wonderful experience volunteering here! I had a place all to myself, which made my stay very comfortable and enjoyable. I had the opportunity to improve my Japanese, learn more about running a guesthouse, and help with its renovation. I also got involved in an art project related to cryptocurrency and tokens, which was completely new to me and fascinating to explore. I'm really grateful for everything I learned and for the chance to take part in different kinds of projects. Overall, it was a rewarding experience, and I would definitely recommend volunteering here!!

Absolutely Awesome experience! As a volunteer worker, you will be staying at one of the guesthouses he owns. These guesthouses have a 4.4+ rating on Airbnb, which indicates the quality. The main task would be cleaning, organizing the guesthouse. If you have a special talent, you might get a special task from this cool host. In my case, I maintained his website. Experience here would be like committing to this artistic man's master plan. You won't have any problem with communication, since he speaks perfect english. Thank you Sohei san!

The best decision EVER! I am very grateful with Sohei for this experience. I always felt confortable, the tasks were easy to make and I learned a lot. I could practice japanese and I could share mexican culture there. Also I created a strong bound with other volunteers and at the end we made a family. Sohei also help me a lot and I hope I can return again. Thank you for including me in your project! Wish you the best! ^^)/

AMAZING EXPERIENCE!! Our host was very kind and knowledgeable about Japan and India. I had the best time in Kijijooji and Kumegawa, where I worked with a diverse group of people. I highly recommend this experience to first-time travelers to Japan.
