Role Overview: Hostel All-Rounder & Content Creator
The Schedule: A balanced 20-hour work week.
4 days on / 3 days off.
Hours: 10:00 AM – 4:00 PM (includes a 1-hour lunch break).
The Core Tasks: * Housekeeping: Maintaining rooms, public areas, and laundry to keep the hostel "guest-ready" at all times. A few hours of help will be needed in the evening at the front desk on the weekends too.
Kitchen Support: Assisting the team during the dinner rush when needed.
The Vibe & Socials:
Engagement: Proactively chatting with guests and bonding with the multicultural staff/volunteer team.
Digital Presence: Creating and editing content for TikTok and Instagram to showcase the hostel life.
The Living Arrangement: Stay on-site in a shared dormitory with fellow volunteers.
We will finalize your work schedule together once you arrive. Please note that weekends are our busiest times. To ensure you have time to explore, we provide three consecutive days off each week. This gives you plenty of time to cycle the famous Shimanami Kaido or take a highway bus to Hiroshima, Osaka, Kobe, or Kyoto (all within a 2–3 hour ride).
Our hostel is conveniently located near the long-distance bus stop. We also host occasional dinner parties with guests and volunteers!
Perks include:
Free use of bicycles and laundry facilities.
Easy access to 3 nearby supermarkets and a 24-hour convenience store (1-minute walk).
Plenty of bars and Izakayas within walking distance.
If you want to use the kitchen, you need to avoid the time when the chef prepare meals for the guests. And also avoid the time when we are using the laundry from 10am to 4pm.
Always keep the hostel neat and tidy.
Please tell us when you want to extend or shorten your stay a week before or ahead.
We would appreciate it if you could stay quiet after 10pm.
100yen for breakfast, 500yen for dinner at the hostel. There is a convenience store across the street.
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 :)
