One of the best volunteer experience I had in Japan ! Work hours are great, the roster is flexible. There is a pretty big team of volunteers so that makes a very nice vibe. The accommodation I had was great too (except there is not much in the kitchen for cooking dinner). The staff were nice and full of advices. Special thanks to Clara who really contributed at the good atmosphere, she made me feel home and welcomed ☺️

I could not be happier about the hostel being my first volunteering. It is exactly what I hoped for. You get to experience working at a traditional japanese guesthouse while being in an international envirnoment. Work is easy, very well explained and organized. You have lots of time to explore Takayama and surroundings and they're very flexible. I felt so so welcome by everyone since day 1. The dynamic of the hostel also allows you to meet amazing guests. Special mention to Ratree's food. Homecooked meal after work feels amazing. If you're reading this wondering if you should come! Please do!
