The Experience

I have a unique container share house with 9 private rooms, 3 shared bath/toilet rooms and one shared kitchen where our voluntary helpers and some foreign tenants live. I am looking for some helpers to maintain, cleaning the shared bath/toilets, kitchen and corridor and outside trash area, for this share house. Each one can work 2 hours a day, 5 days a week.

This was my second time in Komae and I really feel here is like my home. The work is not much only two hours in a day. Komae is so much peaceful and the team is always helpful. Big thanks to Kaz and team, I will come here again in summer too :)

I had good experience staying in Komae. All was good except the place where I was staying. I didn't expect 5 star hotel. But having cockroaches in the kitchen and toilet are not something I was expecting😞 Make sure you bring some spare clothes, as you will be cleaning a lot with the bleach- I've ruined some of my clothes because of it… other than that host is a nice guy. It's close to the train station and convenience shops. Just because of the accommodation - I will give only a 3 stars.

I spent three months in A&B house in Komae and it was a great experience, to the point that I would surely try to be back. About the work, it's well managed, not too stressful but the owner cares a lot to have everything clean, so it requires the right commitment. Nevertheless, you have a lot of time to explore Tokyo and to immerse yourself in the Japanese culture! Strongly suggested.
