This was my first Worldpackers experience, and it couldn't have been better! Teaching English to kids, teenagers, and adults at the school was amazing. The hours were flexible, the work wasn't difficult, and we had plenty of time to explore and relax. It's also close to Mt. Fuji and just two hours from Tokyo. A special thanks to Fumisan, an amazing and kind host who always did her best for the volunteers and kids. Kenta-san and his family are the sweetest! I met wonderful volunteers whom I already miss. I miss the kids, too, and I hope I can come back someday!

StudyGarden is an oasis of learning, positive engagement, and hospitality! I would recommend to everyone - the communication was excellent and the team running the school is very welcoming. Hours are flexible and minimal, and assinged at the start of each week so everything is very clear! Tsuru, while calm, is a great place to experience authentic Japanese culture, and I greatly miss working with the children and adults of the city! I hope to return soon; Thank you for being my first Worldpackers experience!!

I really loved my stay, the people I met here and I'm so grateful to having gotten this opportunity. The host (Fumi San) was also super friendly and always made sure everything is okay and whenever something was missing, immediately took care of it. I'm also grateful to having got the chance to interact in Japanese and the job really made me realize how much I enjoy working with kids. The location is also practical, you can get all your supplies from your surroundings and in your free time, there's so many spots nearby to travel to. Overall an unforgettable experience. ありがとうございました!

My 5 weeks at the school was fantastic. Fumi-san was so lovely and caring for my entire experience. The beds were comfortable, good bedding was provided, kitchen was equipped with 4 hobs and 2 fridges, lots of space to socialise and also be alone, lovely balcony overlooking the local lush green mountains, amazing walks nearby in Kofu area and Kawaguchiko area. I made some amazing connections with the other travellers and had a really good time. Getting to Tokyo costs ≈ ¥3500 there and back, so keep in mind in case you intend to visit Tokyo regularly. Thank you for having me! 🙏🎓
