Thank you so much, Kuni, for taking care of me. It really felt like a home here, and I made so many good friends. I had such a wonderful month. If I ever get the chance, I would love to come back again.

Had a great time in Kamakura! Shifts are at one of the 4 hostels from 18.30-23.00 and then from 8.00-10.00, and in between you sleep at that hostel. Over all work was very chill and easy! You live with up to 12 volunteers in a house in Gokurakuji, 10 mins away from Kamakura station by train. Had so much fun living together and exploring Kamakura, so higlyyy recommend it! :)

Absolutely loved my experience in kamakura! Kuni was very helpful and was able to schedule shifts according to my needs. I had plenty of free time to explore the city and it's surroundings and hang out with the other volunteers.

My days in Kamakura were such an incredible experience! Kuni and all of the staff are very welcoming, the job is easy and the accommodation for the volunteers is very comfortable. I feel like Kamakura is my home away from home now, I definitely recommend this place.

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
