The Experience

We're a small, retro guesthouse with only around six rooms. Right in the middle of one of the most diverse and interesting historic neighbourhoods of Osaka! Lost a bit in a tiny hidden side street, everything you could otherwise want is at a mere stone's throw away. Our goal is to provide clean and comfortable accommodation for guests visiting Osaka, as well as providing opportunities to do language/culture/study exchanges.

I had a great time here, especially since this was my first volunteering experience! Everyone was very kind and welcoming, and I really enjoyed the social atmosphere between the guests and other volunteers. The work was easy, and the manager was very understanding and helpful. I also really appreciated having four days off, which gave me plenty of time to explore Osaka and enjoy the city in my own way. Overall, I'm really happy I chose this place, and it was genuinely sad to leave. I would definitely recommend it to anyone looking for a friendly and relaxed experience!

Extremely fun time! The people working at the hostel really make you feel welcomed and you get to meet lots of people who are temporarily staying there. The work is simple and easily manageable and hours can be somewhat flexible as long as everything is agreed upon (eg. longer lunch breaks or leaving early if necessary). The location is amazing and very close to the centre. I genuinely made memories I won't forget here :)

Thank you very much for your assistance. Thank you for discovering the mold problem in Building N. As for the rats, we have taken measures to address the issue.

Staying at showa was one of the best experiences I've ever had, everyone was so nice, I got to practice my japanese and learned about so many different cultures. The manager, Shu, was really nice all the time and helped us if we needed it, hope to be back soon!
