The job was pretty easy, and there were many times we finished early. The location near Namba was convenient, and since I could pick my own work days, it was easy to go out and have fun.

I had an amazing month volunteering at the hostel! Hide-san and Hikaru were incredibly kind, welcoming, and always flexible and accommodating, which made the whole experience so easy and enjoyable. I also loved sharing the apartment with Yurari, my Japanese roommate. It was a great opportunity to experience Japanese culture and made my stay even more special. The hostel has a friendly atmosphere, I met amazing people, and I made wonderful memories. I would definitely recommend this host to anyone looking for a volunteering experience in Osaka! See you soon :)

Excellent volunteer experience!\n\nHide-san was a great host, great communication with schedule and working hours and job duties. Job was not stressful at all and the rest of volunteers were easy to work with. Very near subway station and about 20 minute walk from Dotonburi so many things to do and ways to travel throughout the city!

My stay at the hostel was wonderful, the host was an excellent person, very attentive and gives you to choose the breaks and if any eventuality arises, questions or tries to solve, the work demands some effort but it is easy, sometimes it is finished in less than two hours or sometimes a little more. The location is perfect. Thank you Xijun and Hikoru (I hope I wrote the names well) 🤗
