The Experience
Come and join our team! In our guesthouse, we need helpers to do the cleaning tasks 5 days/week or receptionists 2 days/week depending on whether they can speak Japanese or not. If you want to help in another field, such as creating videos or advertisements on social media, it is adjustable for the work shift. Accommodation is with our guests, thus it is easy to make new friends from all over the world. A shared kitchen and free rice are provided

Compared to my first time volunteering in Hiroshima, this time I had the chance to be more directly in touch with people while working at the reception. It was rewarding to welcome visitors and feel part of such a warm, well-organized team. I honestly couldn't recommend this experience enough; it's meaningful, well structured, and leaves you with unforgettable memories.

Volunteering at the guest house was such a joyful and heartwarming experience! Every day felt special thanks to the kindness and support from Ryoko-san, Fumi-san, and the amazing team. The work was fair and enjoyable, and I always felt encouraged and appreciated. The hostel is not only clean and comfortable, but also in a perfect location to explore Hiroshima and meet wonderful travelers from all over the world. I'm leaving with beautiful memories and a big smile!

This was my first time doing volunteer work, so I was a little bit nervous before starting. But it turned out to be a good experience, and I really appreciate having had this opportunity. The hostel was very clean, and I could stay comfortably. At first, I thought the workload was challenging, but don't worry, you'll get used to it, and Ryoko-san teaches you very well.
