The Experience

I am looking for some helpers to maintain apt. rooms, baths/toilets and any public places. Each one can work 2 hr/5 days a week with flexible time. I prefer our helpers can stay for 2, 3 months. Besides staff w/o salary, I am looking for a person who has a working visa, college degree and can live in Komae, Tokyo for one year from Oct. I am willing to pay for 60,000yen (est. US$400) with free room.

The guest house was a wonderful place for me to stay. The host, and supervisors were very kind. The tasks were managable and the location was great! Would highly recommend staying here to explore Tokyo.

I spent almost a month and a half at the guest house, and it was a great experience. The work is simple and doesn't take much time, which gives you plenty of free hours each day. The owner, Hide, is incredibly kind and welcoming — thank you for all the wonderful moments we shared! The location is perfect: peaceful, yet close to the city's main attractions. Volunteering here is a great way to enjoy your own time, explore Tokyo, and connect with amazing people — both fellow volunteers and guests. The beds are comfortable, and the kitchen is well-equipped. Thanks!

This was my first worldpackers experience and was the best 3 months of my life! All of the volunteers are super friendly and we did lots of trips as a group. Kaz was an amazing host and very caring towards us! The work is very reasonable and can usually be done anytime of the day so i had a lot of time to explore tokyo! :)
