Thank you very much for accepting me and receiving me in this great experience. Kamakura is home to me. Kuni San's food is delicious! One day he really surprised me by adding Mole to a dish and playing Latin music every afternoon! That made me feel good when I remembered my beloved Mexico. At work I met many people, made great friends and learned many things. The accommodation is very comfortable, it has all the services and the train station is very close. I highly recommend volunteering here.

I felt very welcome in Kamakura and had a great time with the volunteers, staff, locals and the host. The working atmosphere is also relaxed: the working hours are as stated, and there is enough time to explore Kamakura and the surrounding cities. The accommodation for the volunteers is about 20 minutes (on foot) from the café, where Kuni prepared wonderful meals for us twice a day (11 am & 6 pm). He asks about intolerances or other diets and prepares separate meals. We were also able to take part in a wonderful local music event. Thank you, Kuni-san and Ai-san – you are great.

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!

Está experiencia es muy recomendable por tres motivos: El primero es que compartis tiempo de calidad con otros viajeros y eso te hace crear un entorno de contención y de diversión. En segundo lugar es que el trabajo es muy sencillo y podés tener mucho tiempo para pasear. El tercer motivo es que Kamakura es una ciudad costera maravillosa, con Tokyo y Yokohama cerquita. Agradezco a Kuni por brindar esta oportunidad a muchos viajeros. Éxitos viajeros! A disfrutar de la experiencia ☺️
