Volunteering in Kamakura was such a beautiful experience! We had the chance to work across four different hostels, and each one had its own charm. The host was incredibly kind and welcoming — I always felt supported and valued. The volunteers I met during my stay were special. We shared meals, laughs, and beautiful memories together. The tasks were fair, the work environment was respectful and I had plenty of time to explore the city and enjoy local life. Kamakura itself is a magical place, delicious food, and the kindest community. I felt truly at home. I can't wait to come back!

I love this place so much! Kuni and Ai-san are incredibly kind—they take care of you like you're their own child. This has been the best volunteering experience I've had so far! I really hope to go back again one day. I'm also so grateful to have met such an amazing group of volunteers. We stayed together and shared some of the best moments of my life.

It was such a nice experience to live in this big house with all of them amazing girls. The city is wonderful and the food from Kuni and his staff was amazing. Everyone was very kind and it's an easy job at the reception. And also you need to meet a lots of people. The only problems were that most of the time there was no wifi in the house and in some accommodation during the nightshift it was a little bit hard to sleep in. But all in all I really enjoyed it and I am really thankful for all of that. I can recommend to everyone.

I have had the best experience volunteering! The work was fair, the living arrangements were very nice and the food they cooked for us always delicious. But the most important part for me was the group that I've spent it with, I think I got very very lucky since it felt like one big happy family. Thank you Kuni for gifting me this amazing opportunity and to have such a wonderful first worldpacker experience!
