This was my very first Worldpackers experience and I couldn't be any more happy with it! Kuni-San is a gentle, understanding, and caring host who was so kind to cook for us and provide us a nice place to stay when we weren't working at the hostels. I had so much fun getting to know the other international volunteers and locals and will always hold the town of Kamakura close to my heart! It's a beautiful coastal town with amazing cute cafes, beach spots, and shrines. I would highly recommend this experience to anyone interested and lucky enough to get accepted! Thank you so so much Kuni!

This experience for me was crucial in my personal goals. The experience of being and living in kamakura was incredible. Kurosawa san is a really nice person and very open to talk about any matter, and not to mention the way he cooks!!, omg his food is delicious and always served with best quality and presentation. I loved working as night staff in the hostels, it helped me to improve my Japanese speaking, also I could make and excellent relationship with the girls of the Japanese staff and my roomies. Definitely I want to come back again very soon! 🫶🏻

I had a great experience with Kurasawa San & Ai San. They are both very welcoming and of course preparing very delicious breakfast and dinners daily at Wander Kirchen 😍 Before coming please download the app LINE to communicate with staff and other volunteers this will help you on your arrival (you can see your shifts here) Please know, before coming we are currently working at three hostels (but they're all within close range) so don't stress. We are actually stationed at a house where we all live together (volunteers only) and the walk to work & wander kitchen is 20 minutes 😀

Kamakura is a magical town that breathes peace through its streets. The tasks to be carried out are very simple and leave a lot of free time to go to Yokohama or Tokyo. The atmosphere that is breathed is one of camaraderie and friendship but as if that were not enough... For the Love of God!! How Kurosawa San and Ai San cook!! The chefs of silence 🤩✨😋 you can only say: Oishi!! Totally recommended, you are taking time to apply 🚞

I highly recommend to anyone to try this worldpackers experience if they have the opportunity! I had an amazing time in Kamakura on so many different levels. Kuni is a great host and you will get to eat delicious food every day. Kamakura is very peaceful city with lots of things to do everywhere! The work is easy and will give you plenty of time to wander around Kamakura and it's surroundings. You will also get to meet amazing people, I will deeply miss Kamakura and its people :)

I had so much fun here! It was a great way to make friends that were also visiting Japan, and the town is so relaxed and easy to explore. It felt like home so quickly, and I wish I had stayed longer! Thank you Kurosawa-San for allowing me to stay!

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!
