My stay at the guest house was absolutely amazing! The managers and staff were all incredibly kind and i met so many nice people. It was never boring and a good time was guaranteed with the other volunteers! The tasks given were very well managable and it was always clearly communicated what to do! The hostel itself is very cozy with a great location, creating a wonderful experience all together. I would definitely come back and i already miss everyone a lot! Truly an unforgettable experience, i recommend everyone to stay at the guest house if you want to have a great time in Tokyo! Thank you 🤍

I stayed for May and June in the guest house and it was an amazing experience overall! The hostel itself is cozy and lies directly within asakusa, where you can walk around a lot or take the train to Shibuya or Shinjuku etc. The working hours are well managed, aswell as the tasks, which are easy to learn. The staff is very friendly and will help you if you have any questions. I met a lot of cool people there and had such a great time with them. I can definitely recommend to stay at the guest house and I will be returning!

This was my first volunteer experience through Worldpackers and I couldn't be happier with the experience! This place felt like and become a home for me very fast, and it felt like a little family with the other volunteers and managers. The workload was very simple and practical in regards to time and schedule, so it was an amazing opportunity to get the most out of Tokyo. I am very grateful to the other volunteers who I am lucky to call good friends. We had a lot of fun together (also while working hehe) and I will treasure the memories forever. I will for sure be back one day:)

First experience as a volunteer and it was one of the best experiences I had. The location is fantastic, just a short walk from Senso-ji Temple and Asakusa station. The top-floor lounge with city views is a great spot to relax or meet other travelers. What I loved most is the staf they are genuinely kind, helpful and always ready to support you. During my volunteer period they made me feel truly at home. I highly recommend the guest house. I'll definitely come back next time! Thank you so much to the whole team! 🌸

This was my first volunteering experience, and I couldn't be happier with it. Both the managers and the team of volunteers made me feel at home from the very beginning. I'm leaving feeling very grateful for all the good memories I'm taking with me. A special mention to the beautiful views of Senso-ji from the eighth floor, and to the movie nights on Wednesdays, which made the experience even more special.
