Tokyo is big but the hostel is the hostel. I befriended so many locals and internationals here. LJ itself is a simple place, but it is a convenient home with amazing staff and guests, sat within the biggest city in the world. If you can make a good time of that, then come to LJ. Work is standard, well organised and very well communicated. I became more comfortable and motivated with Japanese (and tidbits of every other language, it seemed). I encourage you to come spend a few months here.

I had a good experience volunteering at the hostel. The location is great, the staff is kind and welcoming, and the working hours are exactly as described. The tasks are simple and easy to handle. I recommend the hostel for volunteering. Arigatou gozaimasu!!!

The hostel has been a very fun experience:) the work is easy and you will end your shift very fast, even though sometimes it can be a the hostel bit physical. I didn't stayed in the hostel, but in a sharehouse the owner has 20 minutes away from LJ, and it was really good. The volunteers I met were great people and we had some much fun. The local staff is also very nice, even though we didn't hanged out many times. The owner wasn't around a lot and sometimes communicating with him could be tough, but he was nice. Also, now there's a manager, Yusuke, who's really kind! Overall I had a good time!

I really enjoyed my experience in the hostel ! I like this neighbourhood easy access to asakusa , Ueno , Akihabara . I was in sharehouse 15 min walk, a good way to learn about the Japanese culture. You got free meal or you can cook so you can save some money . (Sometime it's not possible because the kitchen is rented) tasks are easy , usually from 9-3pm but possible to finish earlier sometimes . If there too many bed an other staff will help. If you want to visit an other city you may have to swap shift if you want 3 days straight. I recommend if you wanna stay in Tokyo

I had a great time at the hostel. Location is perfect, I met some cool people, the food/drinks was also a pro. The sharehouse (which contains a women-only dorm) is about a 10 minute walk away. Staff consists of ~4 international and ~10 Japanese volunteers For cleaning staff, the hours are either 9-3 or 10-1, and it is a lot if you do it properly. Some of the staff members like to do things together on their days/evenings off, so it's nice because you can make some friends. It's a the hostel difficult if you're vegetarian, the pre cooked meals contain meat.

I had an amazing time at the hostel! The work was fair and well structured. The meals included are the same everyday but good. The other volunteers and the location definitely made this an experience I won't forget!

I had an amazing time at the hostel! The work was super easy to learn, and the manager and team were always really patient and helpful. The atmosphere at the hostel was welcoming, with both Japanese staff and international volunteers. The sharehouse was comfortable and had everything I needed, plus the location is perfect for exploring Tokyo! I'm really grateful for the experience and all the great people I met. Thank you Sato-san and everyone at the hostel, I will see you again!✨️

The hostel has been a great experience. Working at the hostel was such a fun and rewarding experience. The staff was welcoming, the tasks were fair, and the vibe was always friendly and social. I met a lot of nice people, and felt like part of a the hostel international family. The location is also very good ! :)

I had a good time at the hostel! There are Japanese workers and international volunteers and they are all very nice! The work is fair and can be done very fast! The only downside of this position is, that there are in total 3 meals that you can always eat, but as they are repetitive you are probably gonna eat at the hostel max. once a day, there are no vegetarian options, and there is nothing for breakfast. All in all the location is very convenient in a nice, silent neighbourhood and I liked the experience very much! Thank you to everyone, espacialy to the very friendly manager Sato-san!

The hostel work is easy and simple. The manager was really nice by showing things step by step you just need to follow them. The work doesn't require any skills or anything. Also you get to live in a sharehouse well equipped & nice people. Overall if you want to explore not only tokyo but also the surrounding i think its the best opportunity😅.

Many worldpackers have been applying to this position recently. The host will probably not be able to respond to all of the applications, so we recommend that you also apply to other hosts in our community and not just this one :)
