The best decision EVER! I am very grateful with Sohei for this experience. I always felt confortable, the tasks were easy to make and I learned a lot. I could practice japanese and I could share mexican culture there. Also I created a strong bound with other volunteers and at the end we made a family. Sohei also help me a lot and I hope I can return again. Thank you for including me in your project! Wish you the best! ^^)/

AMAZING EXPERIENCE!! Our host was very kind and knowledgeable about Japan and India. I had the best time in Kijijooji and Kumegawa, where I worked with a diverse group of people. I highly recommend this experience to first-time travelers to Japan.

Bad time in the guest house... Honestly i would`t recomend u to go there. Reason why? I`ll be straight: - First, the pictures you can see on Worldpacker belongs to a guest house the owner has just for the costumers, people who paid for that. Instead of that he has a 3sqm tatami futon rooms for workers in two different locaitions. If you are lucky you shared room with 2-3 volunteers. - Volunteers rooms are small, dirty, full of ants and rats. The facilities like kitchen or bathrom let`s just say they are inappropriate -He supposed to pay for 1breakfast n 1meal per day + laundry. Never happened
