Guesthouse LuLuLu

If you're looking for a place where you can truly connect—with people, culture, and purpose—LuLuLu might be the perfect fit.
Located in the heart of Kochi, Japan, our guesthouse blends local hospitality with global exchange. We welcome travelers from around the world and aim to create a cozy, inclusive, and community-oriented atmosphere.

As a volunteer, you'll be part of our small team and help with tasks such as cleaning, preparing meals, and interacting with guests.
In return, you’ll get to experience life like a local, enjoy shared meals (including our famous curry nights!), and take part in language exchanges and cultural experiences.

We are a small and friendly team of locals and long-time travelers who have found a home here in Kochi. We value openness, communication, and mutual respect. Volunteers are treated as part of the team—and often as part of the family. Whether you're helping with daily tasks or chatting over dinner, your presence is appreciated and your ideas are welcome. We're here to support you and hope to make your stay both meaningful and fun.

I stayed at Lululu with my girlfriend for 1 month. Very cosy place, located in a convenient area for restaurants/shops and attractions (including a Lawson). The owners make you feel at home with dishes cooked by them and live music every day. You also have the possibility to use the bikes of the structure.
I recommend it to anyone who wants to try a really special experience, beautiful and like a real local!

This was my first experience with Worldpackers and LuLuLu really set the bar high! I loved my time there: the staff was super friendly and very welcoming, the guesthouse is nice and together with my boyfriend we got a solo room, something that made the whole stay even more comfortable. We also had access to the guesthouse’s bikes every day of our stay!
The work is pretty easy: some days is busier and some other days is more chilled.
And as for the city, Kochi is a gem! A very friendly and unique place where we got to see a different side of Japan.
I most definitely recommend staying here!

My time at Lululu has been one of my fondest memories in Japan. The family-run guesthouse is lively every night, with magical performances, engaging staff and delicious curry. Taro and Kayano were wonderful hosts — work hours were respected, day trips around Shikoku were arranged, and we were well fed every day. The location is fantastic, with plenty of nearby dining options and a beautiful river just minutes away. Kochi may be a bit remote, but it’s a fun and welcoming city. I’d highly recommend coming here to help out!

I can wholly recommend staying at Lululu. You will be welcomed as a member of the family, literally. Together with the owners and guests you can enjoy breakfast, curry time and Lululu band's live music, all of which makes for lovley connections.
Work is straightforward and well communicated. I particularly enjoyed preparing food with Kayano!
Kochi city is a nice place for getting to know the people of Japan - my Japanese improved a lot here thanks to spending so much time in the company of locals.
I wish all the best for Lululu :)

LuLuLu was an incredible place to stay, and I can’t recommend it enough. The owners were truly amazing—so kind, thoughtful, and welcoming from the very beginning. They went above and beyond to make sure everything was perfect, and their hospitality made the experience unforgettable. Kochi itself was stunningly beautiful, with breathtaking ocean views, a rich local culture, and amazing food that made every day feel special. It’s a place full of charm and peace, where there’s always something new to explore and appreciate. Between the warmth of the owners and the beauty of Kochi, LuLuLu was the
