Hostel JAQ takamatsu

We have many international volunteers (about 5-8) with us as well as Japanese staff members. Come join our community for a chance to forge unforgettable friendships while experiencing local Japanese events. The staff and volunteers can enjoy dinner and chat with guests from all over the world.
The working schedule can be arranged to your preference! If you would like to take a day off, we can move your shift to another day. Hostel JAQ is located next to Ritsurin Garden, about a 30-minute walk from Takamatsu station and the ferry port that will take you to the islands such as Naoshima.

We have about 10 regular staff and normally 5-8 volunteers with us at the same time. Our staff are responsible for the work at the registration and cleaning while volunteers only help with cleaning. Outside of the working hours of 10am-4pm the volunteers are free to do what they want! Volunteers get dormitory beds in a room with other volunteers and are also offered discounted meals. Of course, the laundry and kitchen are free to use outside of busy hours! Sometimes the chef may need help with dinner or breakfast preparation and that will be paid by free meal or discount meal.

I loved my time at JAQ Takamatsu! The staff were all incredibly kind and made a genuine effort to get to know everyone, which made the experience feel truly welcoming. I met many wonderful people (staff, fellow volunteers, and hostel guests) and thoroughly enjoyed experiencing the local culture in a smaller part of Japan.
The work could be a bit challenging at times, mostly because of the heat and the stairs, but everything else about the experience more than made up for it. I’d recommend it to anyone!

I’m so happy I got to stay and work at JAQ hostel Takamatsu. The people are all so friendly and kind. They invited us volunteer to join them for a lot of stuff so we also got to see the local part of Japan. There’s literally no pressure with the work as long as u do what should be done. I thought the work was pretty challenging but it was all because of the stairs (there’s 5 floors) and working in the heat. I’d recommend anyone to stay here!

I absolutely loved my time here, from going out with the crew to cleaning days or even just chatting with the staff, Chizuru, Maki, Tamae, Hiro, Yasu and everyone were the absolute best! Enjoyed my time with the volunteers and guests too, always going out with new people meeting locals, practicing speaking Japanese, relaxing in the group space or eating Ryo’s delicious dinner and everything in between, couldn’t ask for a better experience and i will be back! i love JAQ

Volunteering at JAQ Hostel was fun! The work could be tiring at times, but the days off made up for it. The staff was friendly, and so were the other volunteers.
