I had an incredible time in Komae. Kaz was very communicative and Andrew and Valentine were both great managers. They explained what I needed to do, were easy to talk to and made me feel welcome. Komae is great, it's close to the city and it's very cozy. I would definitely recommend this and I would come back here again.

This is my favourite volunteering experience so far, the room is cozy and the bed is comfortable, the work is pretty easy and the host can adapt to your plans so you can travel around. This place really made me feel like I was home, you work, explore around, do your groceries like a local. I made so many good friends I am already planning to meet again.I stayed there two months and I wish I stayed longer, don't hesitate book the trip ! :)

If you are looking for flexibility and a lot of free time for your trip, this is your place! Komae it's a lovely quiet small community, very calm and friendly, I personally liked it a lot. Kaz made frequently pizza party's for us, very fun.

I am so thankful for this experience. I had the opportunity to meet a lot of travelers and to visit Tokyo everyday. the guest house is such a nice community, every 2 weeks you will be invited to a pizza karaoke party where you will have the chance to meet everyone, japanese local people and make new friends! The shared room (double) in the AB building is cozy and warm in winter. The kitchen is well equipped and there are 3 big shared bathrooms. Kaz was incredibly kind in my journey before coming to Japan; it was my firs time travelling so far, and I had tons of questions. Thank you so much!

This was truly one of the most amazing volunteer jobs ever! From the working shifts to the people all over the world also staying there. Kaz the boss was also very cool with throwing parties so many times. At those there were free pizzas and drinks for free 🤩 The working hours were very very reasonable and you had so much time to explore Tokyo and all other places around, because you could also take the train into the other direction to Yokohama, Kamakura and many other beautiful places. Really recommend staying in the guest house 🏡 Best regards from Germany, An-Nam :)
