Guest House in Hiroshima, Japan

Hiroshima is a great place to start to become familiar with Japanese language, customs and marvels. People who live in Hiroshima are one of the most friendly people in Japan, they love to communicate with foreign people from all over the world. Some local people often stop at our hostel and talk to the guests. It's really common to exchange culture in Hiroshima!

Type of help: We are looking for volunteers that can stay a minimum of one month or longer
Cleaning is around approximately 2 - 3 hours a day, 4 days a week.
FYI, If you are planning to stay longer than two months, paid work is also available :) Please reach out!
Reception work (for long stay volunteers, a little Japanese required) would be about 3-4 hours a day, 5 days per week!

*PLEASE NOTE that if you have a Tourist visa you will not be able to join us. Let us know if you have a Working Holiday Visa, a Working visa or a Student visa since these visas will allow you to work legally in Japan.

We are always welcome for new members to our team! We stay, work, and often eat together. If you are a person who loves to socialize with new people from all over the world, here is the best place :) Santiago Guesthouse has branches in Kyoto and Naha(Okinawa). Volunteers with experience in the Santiago group can be given priority. Would you like to visit three popular cities in Japan.

Mi estadía en Santiago fue genial, me divertí mucho (tanto que extendí mi estancia) y me sentí como en casa. Al final formamos una familia disfuncional que voy a echar de menos ❤️‍🩹

Las tareas son sencillas, se dividen entre todos y acabas más o menos sobre las 13/13:30. Cuantos más voluntarios hay pues evidentemente más rápido se hace todo, pero en general es ameno.

Sin duda recomiendo la experiencia, el hostel está en una zona central pero tranquila de Hiroshima , así que todo te pilla cerca.

The Santiago Guesthouse was a super cozy and fun place. I had an awesome time with the other volunteers and coworkers. The hours were super reasonable. So all in all a 10 out of 10 experience. Would love to come back someday.

I had an amazing time at the Hiroshima guesthouse. I was really lucky with my volunteer colleagues, so I always had people around me, both incredibly kind guests and volunteers. The work is super easy and goes from 11 a.m. to 1/2 p.m. The location is perfect, and you have plenty of time to explore Hiroshima or just hang out a bit at the chicken place and Sushiro.
