Guesthouse LuLuLu

If you're looking for a place where you can truly connect—with people, culture, and purpose—LuLuLu might be the perfect fit.
Located in the heart of Kochi, Japan, our guesthouse blends local hospitality with global exchange. We welcome travelers from around the world and aim to create a cozy, inclusive, and community-oriented atmosphere.

As a volunteer, you'll be part of our small team and help with tasks such as cleaning, preparing meals, and interacting with guests.
In return, you’ll get to experience life like a local, enjoy shared meals (including our famous curry nights!), and take part in language exchanges and cultural experiences.

We are a small and friendly team of locals and long-time travelers who have found a home here in Kochi. We value openness, communication, and mutual respect. Volunteers are treated as part of the team—and often as part of the family. Whether you're helping with daily tasks or chatting over dinner, your presence is appreciated and your ideas are welcome. We're here to support you and hope to make your stay both meaningful and fun.

Lululu was a great experience! The work was easy and it was fun to bake bread for dinner. Taro, Kayano and everyone there was super nice and I spent a really great month in Kouchi! The live music and curry everyday were really enjoyable. Kouchi is a quiet city but the surrounding nature is beautiful and you can still have fun downtown! Also everyone helped with my japanese learning, which was really helpful.I would definitely recommend lululu to anyone!

This was my first world packers experience and it was fantastic.
The owners are friendly, create a welcoming atmosphere and approachable.
The work is simple and manageable, consisting mostly of cleaning in the morning shift and kitchen hand in the evening. Most of the time the work stays under the 4 hours agreement, allowing you more free time if work is finished early.
The other staff and volunteers were all friendly and willing to help. I am also learning Japanese and both the staff and the owners were always open to answering any of the questions I had!
Overall would recommend LuLuLu!

I stayed at Lululu with my girlfriend for 1 month. Very cosy place, located in a convenient area for restaurants/shops and attractions (including a Lawson). The owners make you feel at home with dishes cooked by them and live music every day. You also have the possibility to use the bikes of the structure.
I recommend it to anyone who wants to try a really special experience, beautiful and like a real local!

This was my first experience with Worldpackers and LuLuLu really set the bar high! I loved my time there: the staff was super friendly and very welcoming, the guesthouse is nice and together with my boyfriend we got a solo room, something that made the whole stay even more comfortable. We also had access to the guesthouse’s bikes every day of our stay!
The work is pretty easy: some days is busier and some other days is more chilled.
And as for the city, Kochi is a gem! A very friendly and unique place where we got to see a different side of Japan.
I most definitely recommend staying here!

My time at Lululu has been one of my fondest memories in Japan. The family-run guesthouse is lively every night, with magical performances, engaging staff and delicious curry. Taro and Kayano were wonderful hosts — work hours were respected, day trips around Shikoku were arranged, and we were well fed every day. The location is fantastic, with plenty of nearby dining options and a beautiful river just minutes away. Kochi may be a bit remote, but it’s a fun and welcoming city. I’d highly recommend coming here to help out!
