I volunteered here for about a month and really enjoyed the experience. The work was well organized, manageable, and the team was friendly and welcoming. Takayama is a beautiful city with a relaxed atmosphere, great walks, and lots of traditional charm. One of the best parts is how close it is to incredible nature and many natural onsens, which are perfect for relaxing on your days off. Overall, a great place to volunteer and experience a peaceful side of Japan.

The hostel is a good hostel and provides a cozy place to stay, the work is fair. There is a Karaoke room and Coworkingspace free for you to use and the food provided is nice. Takayama is a cute village, however there is not a lot to do there as a young Backpacker. I would recommend Takayama to people who enjoy it very calm.

The food is delicous and there is always enough. Most of the team is very relaxed and fun to be around. I wouln't recommend this place to soneone under 20 because they don't see you as an adult (like the japanese law) and in general the average age is more like 25-30 years old. Unfortunaly the community space is very restricted: there are places designated for guests which you must not use (those are the comfortable ones) and you have to leave the area at 10. This rule is only for one of the branches, so if you are lucky, you won't stay at that place but at an other.

The hostel is really a great place! The working hours are consistently respected, often even less than those on WP. The team is very friendly and makes an effort to ensure your stay is as enjoyable as possible. We were frequently allowed to use their bikes and other facilities typically reserved for guests. I had a really nice time there!

The volunteer experience went very well. I was warmly welcomed by the managers and other volunteers. The cleaning work is far from difficult, and the team gives volunteers time to learn on the job. The meals are nutritious and plentiful for everyone, thanks to the amazing chef Ratree! You can organize events with others and enjoy the region. Takayama is a nice little town, but with limited activities, so one month was just right. Thank you all for this wonderful first experience!

I stayed for one month and had a really great experience. The work consists of cleaning the rooms and common areas of one of the hotels, between 9 a.m. and 1 p.m. The organization is clear, we receive proper training at the beginning, and the tasks are accessible and manageable. The meals are very good, and they are a great opportunity to get to know the other volunteers and part-time staff. There is a very friendly and welcoming atmosphere among the volunteers, and we often organize activities together. Takayama is a pleasant city, with nice walks and a few interesting places to visit.

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!
