The work is super easy, and if you're looking for a more local experience rather than a touristy one, this is a great place to come. had the best time here!! Thanks to Koichi, Hiro, Maria and all the other staff for making my trip so much fun!

The place is incredible; the area where it's located is very close to several attractions. It's amazing for sports, and meeting friends there is great. I loved the placeโ€”I'll be back to say hello again soon. Cheers to everyone! GAMBARE ๐Ÿคฉ๐Ÿ”ฅ

I had a great time in general at the hostel. The staff dorm is a bit small if it's four people staying at the same time, especially when everyone is cooking themselves (since there is only one electric stove plate, the fridge is quite small and there is no sink, only the one in the bathroom so it's a bit annoying running back and forth). But if you make it work you will have a good time, the hosts and staff are such nice people, sometimes it's bit hard to communicate but it's no drama. The work ist also super easy. I recommend this place. Thank you for an amazing month!

I had a really meaningful experience at Artbaboo. The location in Yokohama Chinatown was great, and the atmosphere was creative, welcoming, and different from a typical hostel stay. The work was clear and manageable, mostly helping with cleaning and reception. The host and the team were kind, supportive, and made me feel comfortable from the beginning. I also met lovely volunteers and experienced a more local side of Japan. I'm truly grateful for the memories and would recommend Artbaboo to other travelers.
