I volunteered at the coliving for two months (May and June), and it was a truly unforgettable experience. It's rare to have the chance to meet people from all over the world, spend time with them, and learn about their cultures. I also had the opportunity to interact with locals during language sessions at the café and the epic Friday Parties. Yuta-san is incredibly accommodating, making everything about the house and shift scheduling (including swaps) seamless, and he even assists with necessary paperwork. I strongly recommend giving it a shot!

The coliving was the best experience as a volunteer that I have had, a great place that gives you the opportunity to teach and learn not only languages, also about the Japanese culture. All the people always with good vibes. The owner Yuta is an incredible person always available for helping others.

This was my first time volunteering and I couldn't be more thankful for this experience at the coliving's house! It was so much fun to talk and connect with local people and learn something new every day. The tasks and hours were were good and you had plenty of time to explore the huge city! I'm so grateful for the other volunteers and how good friends we all became, miss you all dearly!

I volunteered at the Language Café for a month, and I highly recommend the experience to anyone looking to connect with locals and make great friends among the volunteer group. I truly enjoyed my time there – exchanging ideas, learning more about Japanese culture, traditions, and perspectives. I also received amazing tips on places to visit and foods to try, which made my trip even more special. I'm especially grateful to Yuta, who was incredibly kind and even helped me find restaurants and arrange transportation to other cities. It was a very warm and memorable experience!
