My kamakura experience wa superb. the hosts were kind and accommodating. there were three hostels and volunteers will be assigned in any of the hostel to do the night shift reception. the tasks were easy which give you ample time to explore the place as well as Tokyo ( 1hr by train) and Yokohama (20min by train). Kuni san and Ai san always prepare delicious meal for the volunteers.I really appreciate this. will definitely recommend and come back in the future! :))

It's really a wonderful volunteer opportunity. I would highly recommend this hostel to anyone who wants to have a try. You won't regret it. The volunteers were so friendly. The staff were really nice to me. Kuni at Wander Kitchen provided us with delicious food. Everything is fun there. I only stayed there for two weeks because of my visa, definitely will apply for it next I visited Japan.

Kamakura is spectacular. wish i could have stayed longer! Kuni is very kind and respectful. he responds promptly to any concerns you may have + adjusted the meals to my allergies. he even changed a day i was meant to work so that i could go do other things before leaving. :) one thing i didn't love was the room i stayed in above the cafe (not hase house). it was quaint but i had issues with dust and there was no proper shower/laundry. had to shower/laundry at the hostels when working which was not bad, but inconvenient. the work was easy and gave plenty of time to explore japan & have fun.

Staying with Kuni was a wonderful experience and everyone you get to meet in Kamakura is lovely, both the volunteers and the day staff at hostels. You normally work two or three days a week from 7pm to 11 pm, then sleep at the hostel and work again in the morning from 8 am to 10am. We lived in a guesthouse a 20 minute walk away from where you eat and work and it's great just a little dusty and has no kitchen. Kuni is a great host and I can't wait to come back to Kamakura :).

My stay in kamakura was a very beautiful and peaceful experience. I met so many amazing people from the Japanese day staff at the hostels to the other travelers at hase house/wander kitchen. The food made by kuni was always very delicious and he would even adapt the meals to our dietary needs. (The times we would eat was once at 11am (brunch) and once at 6pm(dinner).)Both kuni and Ai San were very respectable, kind, and firm. Other Info - work hours differ for each hostel - a lot of interactions with guests - you will sleep at the place you work overnight (3 times a week usually)

Kuni is a very nice man who cares deeply about the people who volunteer. This was by far the best Worldpackers experience I have had. The hours are shown to you weeks in advance and it is very simple work. Kuni cooks amazing food and if the two meals a day aren't enough he will make more if you ask. Really nice being in Kamakura as well

It was an amazing experience to do volunteer work in Kamakura! The location is great and it's walking distance to the beach. I love the atmosphere in this town. I also got to meet a couple of many amazing travellers aka the other volunteers. It was really fun and I wish I did it for a longer time. I just hoped that the promised 3 meals was provided since only 2 were given in each day. Besides that, everything was great and I learned a lot in my trip in Japan! I love how you also have flexible time since you have some days off for the week. I enjoyed my stay here 🥰 Thank u for this opportunity!

Unfortunately I had to leave early. I have dust mite allergy and the house where the volunteers sleep was a traditional Japanese house, and as all wood old houses it was dusty. Kuni-san was very kind, and the work was easy and during the night. Giving the volunteers the whole day to enjoy the beach, hikings, and the cute kamamura city. The food they offered was really delicious!! All the meals were very well served and very good! Thank you very much for the short time I stayed!

This was an excellent experience! Kuni makes delicious food and the tasks of maintaining the hostels were relatively easy once shown how to do them. We had plenty of opportunities to go shopping, to the beach, shrines and temples, and to try lots of different food in the area. Being involved with the hostels connected me to the community in a deeper way than just a vacation.

This was our first Worldpackers experience and it was great! Kuni is very kind and made us delicious meals. The other volunteers were great to be around as well! The work is simple, though there a few tasks and guidelines that could have been explained more efficiently. All of the guests were very nice and understanding when there was confusion, though! We stayed in an upstairs apartment with most of the other volunteers. The apartment is right next to a train station and near the beach and temples. We definitely want to come back in the future!
