L'expérience

We’re looking for energetic team members to primarily support our guesthouse and also some creative projects — running a small shop, helping with pop-ups and rental spaces, etc.
If you have skills in photography, design, marketing, DIY, or child care, that’s a big plus!
In return, you’ll stay in the heart of Osaka, just a 5-minute walk from Dotonbori, where vibrant nightlife and local culture await.

Détails du programme

This isn’t just a casual volunteering gig — it’s a real exchange where your help covers your stay.
You'll be making beds, doing laundry, cleaning the house, assisting with guest check-ins — and sometimes helping out with shopkeeping at our old folk house boutique.
By law, this is considered paid work offset by rent — so a valid working visa is required.

We expect:
- Punctuality, precision, and responsibility
- Respect for Japanese cleanliness and hospitality standards
- Willingness to learn — training will be provided as needed

In return, we offer:
- A cozy stay in a great location
- An authentic Japanese lifestyle experience
- A warm, diverse international team

If you're ready to join us with the right visa and mindset — welcome aboard!

P.S. We’re also growing new projects. Those who consistently show the qualities above may be offered paid positions beyond the work exchange — especially if you speak Japanese and plan to stay longer.
We’re quietly watching 👀 — so feel free to let us know your strengths!

Règles

We currently run on a shift system with 4-5 helpers.
Each person works about 2-6 hours a day, 4-5 days a week, rotating between two areas so far: the hostel and the shop.

Hostel AM shift: Freshen up the house after check-outs — laundry, bed-making, and cleaning with care ✨

Hostel PM shift: Welcome new adventurers — tidy up, prep the space, and greet arriving guests with a smile 🏡🌙

Shop shift: Be my magical helper — from tending the shop to helping with photos, updating our website or social media, or assisting with whatever the day brings while I’m away or brewing new ideas 🧙‍♀️📸💻

Of course, if you’re ever unwell or have something important, just let us know — we’re flexible and always happy to adjust 😊
