Experience the Japanese lifestyle in Tokyo!

United Kingdom

5

I spent two months here and it's been one of the best experiences of my life! the coliving is a brilliant place full of other volunteers from all over the world, and local regulars! The permanent staff at the coliving are also so lovely, always kind and helpful and willing to hang out or give local advice. The work is easy and often really fun and interesting. Making conversation for 4 or 5 hours can be a little tiring so not ideal for introverts but a great way to learn more about the real Japan. Accommodation is basic but if you keep it clean it's perfectly nice; warm, necessary appliances, etc

I highly recommend this experience! The location is very good and makes it easy to travel around tokyo. I learnt a lot about Japanese culture and got the opportunity to practice speaking japanese during my stay. Yuta is a kind and friendly host. I'm grateful for the good memories I made!

The best first experience I could have had. The work is relaxed and the people are friendly, there are many travelers to make plans with and enjoy the city and Yuta is always there for whatever you need! It has definitely been one of the best adventures I've ever done, I can't wait to go back one day ❤️‍🩹

If you are a traveler looking for community, this is the place for you! I absolutely LOVED my stay at the coliving's and highly recommend this experience. There are about 20 other volunteers at once, so you become close with your housemates as well as the locals at the coliving. In addition, you are situated close to Shinjuku and the train station, which can take you anywhere in the city pretty quickly. The shifts at the coliving are typically four hours per day, which can feel long and forced at times, but you genuinely meet and learn from some cool locals and have lots of deep chats.

This was an amazing experience! It is a great way to interact with locals and learn more about Japanese culture. The hours are somewhat challenging as your shifts are often four hours, which can get a bit tiring but in the end is very rewarding! The accommodation isn't great but not bad either. It is in Shinjuku which is only a couple train stops away from Shibuya, Harajuku, and other popular spots. Overall I would definitely recommend as not only is it a great cultural immersion experience, but also a great way to meet and bond with other volunteers from all around the world!

It was an amazing experience! To be able to talk everyday with locals was very special. You are able to learn a lot and in more detail the local customs and traditions, as well as day to day lives of normal people. Yuta was also great, always open to help and move things around if you wanted to change a shift with someone. The location is also amazing, 7 min walk from subway station, super close to Shinjuku (15min walk) and Shibuya (25min train), so it is easy to move around everywhere. Would highly recommend for anyone and everyone who is looking to meet locals.

The esperience is unique, meeting with local, having so much fun on the Friday party, the welcoming dinner... The house location is near by shinjuku, you can go there by foot, and is one of the best spot in tokyo for night life! I had a great time, everything was amzing, and unforgettable.

I loved volunteering at the coliving! it's a great way to meet locals and learn about Japanese culture, I would recommend it to anyone. The work is very relaxed, just chatting to customers for a few hours a day. The only downside would be maybe the accommodation would be a bit cramped for some people and may be dirty when volunteers arrive. But it's really worth it, I met some great people, both volunteers and customers. :)

My stay at the coliving was a dream come true!!! I've always wanted to visit Japan and I was able to afford it thanks to Yuta and his awesome operation. During my stay, I met so many wonderful locals and a few international residents of Japan. If you want to live in Japan someday, this would be a great start for you. Personally, I was inspired by my experience and will definitely return for a longer period some day :)
