My experience in Kamakura was very nice, the place is beautiful and offers a lot of things to see and explore especially for those who love the sea and want to experience the vibe of a seaside town not too chaotic. Although the house is a bit far from workplaces and the city centre, these can easily be reached by tram or a pleasant walk, I highly recommend an experience here!!!

I had an amazing time making friends with fellow volunteers and locals. Work is straightforward, giving me plenty of time to explore Kamakura and surrounding areas. On shift nights, we enjoy 2 meals from WanderKitchen - dinner and breakfast the following day. Otherwise, we're provided ingredients to cook for ourselves. Paradise Dorm, our volunteer residence, is 4 stations away from Kamakura Station — but the 40-minute walk is easily manageable. The location offers proximity to multiple beaches with a view of Mt. Fuji on a clear day. Overall, this has been a fantastic experience. ✨️

I enjoyed my two weeks in Kamakura. I was given a night shift with plenty of time off to explore the area. I was disappointed with the sleeping arrangement due to my room having no AC in hot humid summer weather, bugs and lack of space. Because of the room i had to leave the accommodation early as I couldn't sleep at all. Other rooms, however, do have AC and space. I also had hoped that the free meals were three a day but we are only given them when working. Despite everything, I was able to meet some great people and the work helped me improve my hospitality skills.

Kamakura is a beautiful place and Gokurakuji (where the volunteer house is located) is really cute. The tasks are quite simple, just be aware that with overnight shift they mean that you have to stay and sleep at the place you are scheduled at. Shifts usually go from 6-7pm until 10-11am the next day and the place to sleep may vary depending on the property (it can go from a bunk bed at the hostels to a cot in the restaurant/coffee shop kitchen). Food is provided either as grocery budget for the volunteer house or food at either of the restaurants owned by the host (only on shift days).

Kamakura is a lovely place to visit if you love being near to the beach. It has a lot of opportunity to explore local culture, as there are many temples and shrines around. The working days were not that many and the day staff were very kind and supportive. On the days that you work, you will be given breakfast and dinner. The food was very yummy :)

Absolutely loved my experience in Kamakura. The food was great, the staff was sweet and the town is so cute and nice. It did however surprise me that the house was rather unclean and doesn't match the photos on Worldpackers. The beds also differ a lot from being very good to sleep in to very bad - and you don't know where you'll be sleeping. I was also disappointed with how I was greeted since it's just the volunteers telling you how to do stuff mouth to mouth and not the owner. Kuni is so sweet and always there to help though! He's very chill:) Overall I really liked my experience<3

It was okay 👌🏼 they have a volunteer house, a lot of people were there, they give money to do groceries and the shift was easy.
