Volunteer work in exchange for free accommodation (Hirakatashi)

The school is the perfect place for a traveller looking to discover the Kansai area! The work is super easy compared to other experiences. Bc there was 2 of us, it was just cleaning for 1 hour and then an individualized project/yard work to complete the rest of the 15 required hours on our own time. While I was there, the language school wasn't busy, so we did not need to help out there, but during peak school season, you might!! The location is residential, but it's perfect if you're looking to explore bc it's central between Kyoto and downtown the school. Super comfortable space and highly recommend!!!

The school has a fun and friendly atmosphere, and is a good opportunity to chat to Japanese people hoping to practise their English. The work, consisting of cleaning, is easy and the hours are respected. The location is great - you can explore both the school and Kyoto very easily! The house is quite quiet at the moment due to Covid, which is to be expected, but I would love to come back in future when the situation has improved!

The school is a great experience I personally felt at home outside of home. All the guest are amazing people to meet and they all have great attitude. Hosts are amazing they really allowed you to get involved with the english teaching/practicing activities and are open and supportive to any iniciative. Thanks Katie, Arata, Bill and Johnson for the great organization at the place. The tasks here are very fair and enjoyable. Hirakata city is a great pleace to meet the daily Japanese lifestyle.

I stayed in the school for 3 weeks and absolutely had the best time. This was my first solo trip and I'm so glad I chose Japan. My host Arata san was very kind and welcoming, and she was also accommodating after the fact that I had to cut my supposed 1 month trip short because of the coronavirus so I had to go back home. My housemates were very nice and I definitely gained new friends. The everyday tasks were really easy, and I had a lot of free time to discover places like Kyoto and Nara, and the rest of Hirakata as well. I hope I can come back again one day!

Being at the school was such a fun and engaging experience! I am really thankful to Arata-San and everyone for having us and being so welcoming the whole time. The tasks are not difficult at all and the schedules are really, really flexible. There was always something to talk about or do!😁 The town itself is very interesting due to where it is located, and you can get a good feel of how japanese people live their daily lives in the smaller towns. I can't thank everyone enough! Hope to see you all in Mexico one day!!

From the first moment that we arrived, Arata was a very kind person and she gave us a very comfortable room. She took the time for explain everything, and she was always willing to help us when we had any doubts. When you arrive you might see a very big list of things to do, but trust me it's not so difficult, and all the team can help you, they are very flexible so it's a good place to stay at and also to learn more about Japanese culture! The town istelf is very interesting too Thank you for everything!!!
