A unique and special way to stay in Tokyo, I got to talk with many locals with diverse backgrounds at the coliving. That itself is worth a fortune considering that it is usually not too easy to talk to random Japanese people in a city like Tokyo with its social codes/ norms. I felt an abundance of love at the coliving with the regular customers, the coliving staffs and especially with my adorable fellow international staffs. I can confidently say it was one of my life's best moments which I will forever cherish. Last but not least, Yuta was extremely helpful and trust worthy :) Thank you!

Amazing first trip to Japan. the coliving will push your social skills if you're not a total extrovert, but it's such a good way to travel solo because you really meet and connect with locals and other travelers that otherwise you wouldn't have the opportunity to. Take advantage of your access to the other language tables, too. You get close with your group and also have time to travel elsewhere in Japan. The location of the main house in Shin-Okubo is excellent--a bit calmer part of Shinjuku but still very central. Only negative is I got sick which seems to be common but still 100% worth it.

Volunteering at the coliving's café was a dream come true. Not only did I get to experience the local life in Japan, but also got the chance to meet and befriend people from all over the world. This job is for an extrovert and to us it was heaven on earth. I definitely recommend anyone to volunteer at the coliving whenever they want to come to Japan.

The time at the coliving flew. Although I was a bit sick for some weeks. I really enjoyed. I had a wonderful time at the coliving. You can connect with locals and make friends. People is really eager to know about you and your culture. Yuta great host, he helped us a lot even when he was not there. I totally recommend the place for anyone wants to experience Tokyo. This city has so much to see that sometimes can be overwhelming. But definitely would be one of these places you wanna get back.

Highly recommend! the coliving is the perfect place to stay in Tokyo right in Shinjuku and a great way to meet both locals and fellow travellers. The work is easy and the owner Yuta is helpful and always respectful of working hours.

I'm so grateful for my experience at the coliving and for all the amazing people I met here. It is a great way to immerse yourself in the culture, and you get to have a lot of interesting conversations with locals at the coliving. My sharehouse was also centrally located and just one train station away from Shinjuku. I would definitely recommend this experience!

I highly recommend this experience! This is the best way to live Tokyo like a local, to connect with a lot of people and learn more about different cultures, especially Japanese culture. The hours of the shifts were always respected, giving you plenty of time to explore the city at your own pace. The host Yuta is extremely kind, respectful and easygoing, the concept and vibes of the coliving are amazing, specially on Friday nights.

My experience at the coliving was great, I am grateful for the opportunity I was given. Even though I applied last minute, Yuta was very available and helpful. The cafè is strategically placed a couple of stations from Shinjuku and Shibuya, and it is 5 minutes from the station. The accomodations for the volunteers are all in equally good locations and pretty close to work. The atmosphere in the cafè is warm and it is a good opportunity to meet lovely people, definetly recommend!

I loved my stay here. Imagine being in Shinjuku, the most "Tokyo looking" area of all Tokyo. Not only that, you get to meet a lot of volunteers from around the world (at least 20 people working), so you could make meaningful connections, or travel pals to explore the city... And thanks to the type of work, you learned about the culture and you get to bond with locals, meeting new friends or receiving a lot of recommendations of things to do in Tokyo.... You're staying in a house apart from the coliving, and depending of the people you are staying with, the house could be clean or messy, so be nice

The coliving is perfect for anyone coming to Japan hoping to learn about the culture, but with barely any Japanese. Most of the customers are Japanese, and the café works as a bit of a bubble where topics you would usually avoid around the table (politics, personal stories, cultural elements) are commonly discussed between strangers. I got lots of great insight and tips for my travels that way! Yuta was also very flexible, working a schedule around my school hours. He also helped me with the admin side of the Working Holiday, and even let me stay longer when my other plans fell through!
