My stay at the hostel Samuari was very nice :) The work was not too hard, we started the day with changing the beds of the people who checked out of the hostel that day, and after that every one of the team got an individual task for the shift that day. We each had a bed in a shared staff room, which also had its own shower and bathroom to share with the rest of the staff. Fumi was very kind, and I had a lovely time with the rest of the team :) The location is also very good in my opinion, you can access most of the hostel very easily by train from there.

I spent three lovely weeks at the hostel and it was probably my favorite Hostel Job in Japan. Work takes about 2 hours daily, is very straightforward and not too exhausting. Everyone in the team was super nice and the location is great (on the boarder of Asakusa, on of the coolest areas of the hostel in my opinion). The room is shared between 6 people (volunteers + paid staff) but you have a capsule bed with a door that can be fully closed for some quiet and privacy. I wish I could have stayed longer. ありがとうございます! Also thank you for letting me play your guitar Fumi! :)

Kai and Fumi were both very welcoming and always available for any questions. The work was very easy and well distributed everyone was assigned their own tasks so you can go at the speed you prefer. The sleeping arrangements is a dormitory just for the volunteers and a bathroom that is only shared with volunteers as well, kitchen is shared with the rest of the guests house. The only minus I can think of is that it's 1 day off per week which is not a lot but honestly it was not that bad. Overall would very much recommend staying at Guesthouse the hostel!
