Si eres chica te puede tocar vivir en una habitación a 3 minutos del hostel con una Japonesa. Ella hace su vida como si viviera sola. Secador a la 1:00am, ducha a esa hora también, luces encendidas. Lo último que me ocurrió y fue muy grave es que cuando se va a la ducha echa productos de limpieza antes muy tóxicos y al dormir tu cabeza literalmente pegada a la puerta del baño acabas inhalando esos productos y en mi caso acabé enferma con vomito. Me tuve que ir antes porque el Anfitrión no me quiso dar alojamiento en el hostel y comunicó que no podia hacer nada, me tuve que ir

The stay was good, and Hide-San is a really nice person! He is super flexible with the days off and the parttime workers are lovely. I enjoyed it a lot but for me a month in a city is just to much.

I had such a wonderful time volunteering here! The host was incredibly kind, welcoming, and made sure I felt comfortable throughout my stay. The work was very easy and flexible—never more than 3 hours a day—which gave me plenty of time to explore the area and enjoy my trip.

The atmosphere was relaxed, and I truly appreciated the fair exchange. If you're looking for a low-stress, rewarding volunteering opportunity with great hospitality, this is the perfect place!

I had a great volunteering at Picnic Hostel, the hours were as agreed and sometimes even less, the work is easy and you can choose your days off (most of the time). I was first suspicious because of the other reviews about the owner etc. but I can tell you that Hide-san (the Host) was a welcoming, nice and generous host and he sometimes gifted us some treats or got us some food or fruit. I personally think this volunteering is a great opportunity to explore Osaka and the nearby cities (Kyoto,Kobe, Himeji etc.) and its near to
the city centre and to the subway.
