I had a lovely stay at Kamakura, Kuni is very attentive to your needs and wants, a very wonderful host ! The job is a good compromise for a traveller who wants to have time to go sightseeing in the day, because you work at night, and Kamakura is a very convient place to go on day trips either in Tokyo or to other cities nearby. The staff and other travellers are also very friendly. Wonderful experience !

I had an amazing time in Kamakura and would go back any time if I could ! It is a lovely town and I really enjoyed living together with the other volunteers. However if you work remotely be aware that the WiFi doesn't work in the house!

I absolutely loved my experience at Kamakura. Even though I could just stay for a week, Kuni and the rest of the team made sure I was comfortable and felt welcomed with delicious warm meals and lots of kindness. The working shifts were more than reasonable and there was a lot of free time to explore beautiful Kamakura, rest, and get to know other volunteers, with who we shared meals in a local kitchen. Kamakura is a beautiful small town with great beaches, shrines and very nice people. Sadly, I could just stay for a week, but I'm really grateful and I highly recommend this stay!!

The time I spent in Kamakura was the best of my life. I met a lot of nice volunteers there and made really good friends. The food was great and Kuni is very nice. The beach and landscapes are stunning. The locals are nice. It's only around 1 hour and a half away from Tokyo. The only thing to consider is that the house you stay is 40 minutes away from the center, if you go by walking. But there's a station 6 minutes walking from the house. Also, if you prefer staying in a place with fewer people, maybe this volunteer is not for you, because the house can fit up to 10 people.

This was my first volunteering and everything was perfect. Could do it with my girlfriend too. We loved it here that much that we wanted to stay longer and it was agreed ;) We got in touch with Japanese and international people and it's safe to say that friends were made. As the place is not far from city life Tokyo but also not too far from nothing going on it is perfect. There is an Onsen nearby (tattoo friendly ;) ), the beach, shopping possibilities and lots of great vibes.

My time in Kamakura has been one of the best in life. Kuni san and Ai San have been the best hosts, always welcoming and caring. I will miss the delicious meals very much! Shifts were easy but a bit intense at first, but all the team were very helpful and kind. I can't recommend this experience enough to anyone that wants to connect with other travelers, get to know more about the culture and wants a peaceful environment close to Tokyo!

Kuni and the Wanderkitchen family were the absolute best. The work is very laid back and the hostel staff and manager are all so kind and willing to help if you have questions. Kamakura is the cutest, lots to explore, and was my Japanese home away from home. Until next time, arigatogozaimasu ❤️

I appreciate Kuni-san so much for allowing me on the team! I had an incredible time exploring the country. Kuni-san and his wife was the most sweetest and caring host. They made amazing food for each shift which I will miss even though I did not show up for dinner often (was out exploring). Future travelers, don't even hesitate on applying because this was a great location away from the city but also close enough to tokyo or any other city. The schedule is flexible enough to have day trips in other areas of japan. Thank you so much!
