My experience in the hostel was awesome! I felt totally welcomed by the staff members and all the volunteers I had the opportunity to work with. Moreover, it's a cozy hostel, the volunteer work developed as agreed and most of the time we finished even earlier than the expected schedule. The location is really good, too, because it's close to a monorail station and Naha bus terminal. Thanks to the hostel I had the opportunity to know a lot of people, both local and international, and had a great time there. Totally recommended if you like hostel social vibes and Okinawa!

It was a wonderful experience! I am so grateful! Mei and all the staff is very nice and helpful. The job is easy to learn and not so tiring. You will have a lot of free time to discover the island! I could improve my English and also my Japanese talking to the customers. Thank you so much! 🙏 See you soon! 本当にありがとうございます

I spent one month at this guesthouse and enjoyed a warm, friendly atmosphere. The team of helpers worked together and supported each other well. Work hours are typically 11am-1pm (sometimes varying), leaving plenty of free time each day. The location is excellent, right in the city centre with the bus terminal nearby, making excursions easy. The staff were pleasant and available. The only downside was a lack of clear communication with the manager: requests for repairs or supplies often needed to be repeated several times. Overall, a positive experience ✨

Thank you for your review. This is Show.
I’m sorry that we weren’t able to communicate more directly — I know that may have caused some inconvenience.
I did receive your messages about the missing supplies, but at that time our supplier had been hit by a ransomware attack, so we weren’t able to place any orders.
I believe we informed all staff verbally about the situation.

I’m glad to hear that your time in Okinawa became a good memory for you.

My stay in Naha was great! The work was simple and i got trained by other volunteers. As we were with many during my stay, it was always fast and nice. The sleeping capsules we got were with other guests in rooms, but were very sturdy so i felt very cozy and private. The common room is very nice! There is enough space to cook well and room for multiple small groups of people to do their thing. One point that was a bit difficult is that the owner didnt always communicate clearly. I often didnt know when he was in and he was difficult to reach. The rest of staff/ volunteers: amazing and helpful!

Thank you for your warm message.

I usually gave instructions to the morning staff directly through LINE, but I wasn’t always able to respond smoothly in the Instagram group chat. Because of that, there were things I didn’t handle well, and I’m sorry for any inconvenience this may have caused you and the other helpers.

If you ever have the chance, please come visit Okinawa again.
I hope your experiences in Japan will remain good memories for you.

This hostel is a really great place to create memories! The guests and staff are really friendly and the overall experience was something I cannot replace. The working hours are fair and workload is well balanced. Okinawa is truly special and I loved it!!! I would definitely come again!!
