The Experience

We are a small cozy guesthouse that is looking for volunteer staff to help both for reception and housekeeping. The volunteers help 3 days a week from 12:00-20:00, and so have 4 days off in the week. We have space for 3 to 4 volunteer staff, and 2 permanent staff are also present. The general day to day tasks are cleaning beds after check-outs, general housekeeping and helping guests with check-ins.

Volunteering here has been one of the highlights of my trip 💯 the guest house has a unique, cozy energy that captures you immediately. You get to help out with the hostel tasks but also share great moments in the living room with everyone. The management team is awesome and supportive. 10/10 experience that I would recommend to anyone looking for a genuine, fun, and rewarding volunteering vibe in Japan.

My experience was very gratifying, it was my first volunteer job, so I have no complaints. Everything was according as they mentioned on the app. The job was easy, I had a lot of time off. I'll definitely do it again. Steve and Emma made me feel very welcome at the hostel, thanks a lot for everything.

I had a really good time at the guest house! The work is pretty chill and fair. You get lots of free time to explore Osaka and the surroundings. The location of the hostel is also great for that. Steve (the managar) and Emma were really nice and welcoming and made me feel very comfortable. It is a bit hard to connect to locals working in a hostel but I had a good time with the other volunteers and some of the guests :)

We actually volunteered in the guest house Isonoura - which was a great break from the big cities such as Osaka. If you want to be 2 minutes away from the beach from your doorstep (and surf small waves), the place to be! But if you're going to use this place as a base for travels, it might be more suitable for volunteers with cars. Alternatively , the train station is 1 min away. Thank you Steve for the flexibility with our schedules!
