Thank you so much for the wonderful experience ! I felt very welcome ☺️. Everything promised in the profile was delivered. I had a lot of fun during my stay and also had enough time after work to see more of Tokyo on my own. I would highly recommend this experience to anyone.

I had a wonderful month at the guest house and I can highly recommend this place! 🙌🏻 Kentaro and Marvin create such a relaxed and welcoming, family like atmosphere. The work itself is very simple, and having a private room during your stay makes the whole experience even more comfortable! I highly recommend staying here, and I hope to see you again someday! 👋🏻

My experience at the guest house with Kentaro was amazing. Kentaro and the entire staff were incredibly kind, welcoming, and always willing to help. The tasks were fair and never overwhelming, which made working there really enjoyable. The atmosphere was relaxed and friendly, and it was a lot of fun working with everyone. We also had plenty of free time, could use the kitchen freely, and the location was perfect—you can reach almost anywhere in Tokyo within about an hour. I couldn't have asked for a better volunteering experience. Highly recommended!😊

The guest house Hostel really made us feel welcome and comfortable. I totally recommend this experience. Kentaro is the best host you could imagine. He's generous, helpful, fun and also just chill and understanding. The work is easy and doesn't have to be monotonous if you da different area of the hostel every day. If you take it somewhat seriously and work with other volunteers that also do, then it can in fact be rather fun. The volunteer rooms are normal rooms that are also rented out to guests. The kitchen has everything you need. Would love to come back sometime in the future ^^

Kentaro has definitely been the most welcoming host ; he is generous, funny and always ready to party. Our tasks and schedule were the one we expected. We arranged with the other volunteers to decide each week what would be our day off. We are traveling as a couple of volunteers and we could take our day off on the same day. Thank you for this experience !
