The location of the hostel is really perfect. You can take relaxed walks to the Skytree and the temple, and Ueno Park is also not far away. The hostel has a very cosy vibe and especially the kitchen/living room makes you feel at home. The tasks can be completed in a relaxed manner in three hours and if something doesn't work out, the communication with the manager is great.

I had a wonderful time at the hostel! It was my first time volunteering in a hostel and the staff members as well as the managers were very welcoming and friendly. Everytime I had a question, about work, days off, and life in Japan in general, there was always someone who would take the time and help me out. The work was fine, consisting of cleaning, bed making and general housekeeping. Asakusa is also a great area, with the Sensoji-Temple and a lot of restaurants very close by.

I've really enjoyed my time at the hostel! The work environment was great! All my co- staff members and managers have been so nice and supportive. Everyone I have met here was super friendly. The daily tasks were very easy and we had enough time to explore once we finished. Also the location is great! If you want to explore Asakusa area, and stay in a friendly and inviting environment, I highly recommend applying here !

I loved the time I spent there! The location is awesome, right next to Asakusa, and very close to everything you might need, like subway stations. The hostel is good, although the staff room is a bit small. The work is easy, mainly making beds and cleaning, depending on the schedule. You'll have enough free time to explore. It's a great place to make friends, and I'll always cherish the memories, from eating together and walking around to going to karaoke and celebrating birthdays.

The people were nice and the work was pretty chill and as agreed upon. The accomodation was pretty good, it's nice that it's a room only for staff with it's own bathroom too. However it was absolutely freezing in there with the weather getting colder, but the Host refused to turn on the Heater, even with multiple volunteers being cold. Communication between volunteers and staff isn't good at all and there seems to be a general lack of care, for example if something is broken or cleaning supplies are empty, it will take several volunteers mentioning it over several says before anything is done.

I had a great time staying here! The other volunteers were amazing ,we spent lots of time together. The hostel is in a great location, within walking distance of sightseeing spots, shops, and two subway/metro stations, so everything is easy to reach. The work is simple and only a few hours a day! The only downside was the communication with the manager and owner. They are both very nice, but apparently, my first night (when I arrived at midnight) counted as my day off, which was never mentioned beforehand. So if your first day is after the cleaning time it may count as your day off.

Everyone's experience may differ, but I found the host manager to be rather inefficient. In general, the other members and staff lacked basic hygiene awareness and didn't have proper cleaning tools. The bathroom often smelled strongly of urine, and instead of using disposable towels, there were various types of reusable towels scatters around. After cleaning, I honestly didn't feel comfortable using the bathroom myself. Since it a budget accommodation, it's best to go without high expectations. Volunteer team experiences can vary depending on the timing and who's on the team at the time.

Stayed here for a bit less then a month and enjoyed it! The location is great the team was nice as well, Fumi does his best to make you feel welcome. There's a staffroom so it's nice to have your own space. The work tasks change everyday so if there are 5 volunteers it's easy work. With less volunteers it does take quite some time.

I had a really nice stay in this hostel. The location is very good and asakusa is a very nice and cultural place. The team was kind and the work was very easy. Also the hostel looks good with a nice kitchen and living room.
