Kuni is the kindest person ever existed, he made my stay in kamakura so unforgettable. He provided a sweet place to stay, healthy and incredible good food and a lovely atmosphere. I would definitely recommend this place to anyone out there, who wants to spend their time at a beautiful place, eat good food, swim at the beach and enjoy life at its best. The work was super chill, I met a lot of people from all over the world and had some funny conversations. I'm so grateful for the time I had.

This experience was great! We only had to work 2-3 days a week, the hostels are beautiful and comfy (you get assigned 2 out of the 4), the other volunteers are super fun with some of them staying long-term and always willing to help, the full-time stuff is also very kind and warm plus always open to answering questions even outside their work hours. The organisation of the money to spend on supermarket isn't great in my opinion but the food from the restaurant we get on our working days is AMAZING. Delicious, truly! Also kamakura is a beautiful destination and only 1-2 hours away from tokyo!!

I had an incredible time volunteering in Kamakura! Kuni, the host, is so kind and welcoming, and he makes amazing dinners and breakfasts on work days. The night shifts are easy and straightforward, leaving your days free to explore. Kamakura is beautiful, with great local spots and a relaxed vibe, and it's only about an hour by train to Tokyo, perfect for day trips. Highly recommend!

I would go back without thinking about it, it has been an incredible experience. Kuni and his whole team are lovely people, they are always willing to help you in everything you need, plus kuni's meals are delicious🥹. I made amazing friends and Kamakura stays in a little piece of my heart. I hope to come back soon

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!
