Having Kuni-san as a host is incredibly amazing 😆 he has a lot of story to tell and learn from. The foods provided also so delicious and healthy - love it so much! With this experience we meet and talk with a lot of locals knowing their culture. The volunteering schedule is organized properly but also flexible in a way. I am surrounded by fun, helpful, and welcoming volunteer friends as well :) The place is nice too in Kamakura, you will find a lot of hidden gem of Japan. Eventually, this host & place already feel like a home & family in Japan for me :)

I absolutely love my volunteer experience with Kuni, the host in the guest house/Bench. He is a very warm and welcoming person, we talked and shared stories a lot. I am honestly very inspired by his life stories. The volunteer arrangement is also great, I get to experience being a receptionist and talk to locals, an immersive experience for sure. Everyone is so nice and friendly! We also get to meet other volunteers and make new life-long friends. I also got very good foods and nice accommodation during the stay. Overall I highly recommend it :) Would love to go back again!

I planned to stay for one month working for the guest house bud ended up staying two more months because I liked it so much. The work is chill, the checking in and out of guests is easy! Most guests already payed so you don't have to worry about working with money to much. At the guest house you'll get the change to connect with travelers as in Bench (another hostel they own) you get to connect with locals, perfect way to practice your Japanese. Bud don't worry if your not fluent, English is okay too! Kamakura is offishly beautiful don't even get me started about kuni sans cooking. It's delicious!!!!!

It was a good experience at kuni's place! The place is 1 1/2 hours far from tokyo and it's located next to the beach, so you can have the calm „country life“ and the exciting tokyo atmosphere. You have to work almost every other day, but the work is simple. You have to work alone on the night shift at different receptions, but when there is an emergency or whether you need help, there are people who will help. You basically have everyday free, because you only have to work at night. It can be exhausting, to walk everywhere ( your stay, the place where you get kunis food and reception)

The stay in Kamakura was amazing! Kuni is really kind, understanding and welcoming. The food is always delicious, even if it's only two meals a day. The job is easy and even though the hours you work are longer you only work 3 days a week so you have plenty of time to explore the beautiful city of Kamakura and it's surroundings!

I really loved my stay in Kamakura. All my roommates were so welcoming and the majority of them are definitely lifelong friends. The dorm is decent and the food is amazing. Only thing I would change is that we don't really receive what was promised. We weren't allowed to use the kitchen, we worked more hours than what was agreed on, and we only got 2 meals a day, not 3. Also, all the stuff in the dorm is provided by the people staying there, like toilet paper and laundry detergent. Regardless of all that, I'd come back. It's such a beautiful place and I already miss my coworkers.

I loved my time here even though it was very short. Kuni and Ai San are very easy going and friendly people. I have met some of the coolest people that I will cherish forever through this experience. Thank you for having me! Ps Kamakura has the coolest hiking trails so go out and explore!!
