We stayed and volunteered at the hostel for one month and one week, and it was our very first volunteer experience. It truly couldn't have been better. The staff is amazing, the facilities are excellent, and during our free time we really enjoyed exploring the beautiful city of Takayama — a place we absolutely fell in love with. We also met wonderful people and made great friendships along the way. Definitely a wonderful first volunteering experience. We're grateful for everything!

We had a great time at the hostel working with a great team, making fantastic memories and friends. The only times there was any kind of an issue was just sometimes when doing the cleaning when it was shown by one person how to do things that this was not the same standard that others may have expected. But this was only minor and does not take away from the great time we had. Thanks to all the team for making us feel welcome and especially Rattis cooking g for making sure we had full bellies!

Takayama it is a lovely place with loads of good food around! Everyone in the staff and volunteers where lovely ppl and the tasks where doable, any time that you had too much job to finish in the stablished 4 hrs they will actually send someone to help you! The only thing is that some times someone could say to do things one way and someone else could say differently but not a big problem tbh as they were always very nice asking or correcting things! I would definitely recommend the experience!

I had a great time volunteering for the hostel! The work was manageable and organized and I had plenty of free time. Takayama is a great place to volunteer in and there are a lot of day trips and activities around. the hostel team was welcoming and friendly and provided everything needed. There was a great social atmosphere as well. I recommend this experience :)
