Komae House is full of lovely and friendly people, particularly the host!! They are very flexible with working hours, which leaves time to plan interesting activities in Tokyo! The working environment is also wonderful, as the area is very peaceful and the places that you clean very nice. As you are cleaning and maintaining around apartments, and Komae House organises fun activities, there is plenty of opportunity to get to know new people, including locals, and practice Japanese! I highly recommend Komae House. Thank you , I hope to see you again one day!

I spent almost a month and a half at Komae house, and it was a great experience. The work is simple and doesn’t take much time, which gives you plenty of free hours each day. The owner, Hide, is incredibly kind and welcoming — thank you for all the wonderful moments we shared! The location is perfect: peaceful, yet close to the city’s main attractions. Volunteering here is a great way to enjoy your own time, explore Tokyo, and connect with amazing people — both fellow volunteers and guests. The beds are comfortable, and the kitchen is well-equipped. Thanks!
