The experience was amazing. I had a really great time and met tons of great people. The work itself was self explaining and therefore not really hard. Just the beds are quite small, so your work space is limited, which can be frustrating at times. Still had a terrific time and would recommend.

Thank you so much for the past four weeks. I really enjoyed staying at the guest house. The Team is amazing, I met so many nice people. We usually worked for three hours a day, doing the beds and cleaning. After that you have a lot of time to explore the city. Hiroshima has many nice places to explore. I had an amazing time, I would definitely recommend staying at the guest house.

I had the best two weeks working at 36Hostel (smaller of the two hostels). Cleaning followed the agreed upon schedule and was not too hard to complete. The beds were very comfy and had large lock boxes that could fit a backpack. Working at 36Hostel was so much fun! The staff are amazing and so helpful if I had any questions. During this time I was able to meet many wonderful people, both fellow Worldpackers and hostels guests to explore Hiroshima with. I highly recommend volunteering at 36hostel/the guest house if you plan to go to Japan!

This was my second volunteer experience and work wise definitely a bit more difficult (at the beginning). Overall a really nice experience. I met many volunteers and a few locals who made my trip even better. I had time to explore Hiroshima and visit Miyajima. When there were fewer check-ins, we also had more free time.

I am very happy about choosing the guest house for my first volunteering. It really was a great experience. Everything was accessible by walk and the people there were friendly. Fumi鯖 is a nice person, he has been very supportive and kind to me. I greatly recommend this place to anyone who's interested in Hiroshima.

It was a really fun experience working in Aki Cafe with other travelers. Work can be hard at first, but once you get used to it, it will be faster and easier than you would think! I could practice my Japanese here and learn a lot from the people with whom I work with also from customers! Thank you for your hospitality :)

I had such a great experience there. I already had experience as a reception but this time I was able to try bartending. It's not normally open but I wanted to try something new and requested it from the boss. He accepted and gave me the opportunity to try it out. Along with daily tasks, I prepared for the opening of the bar and also tried my hand at creating POP and signboard art. It also helped me explore new fields and discover new interests. These new challenges were successful, and I was able to gain more confidence and grow. I'm really grateful to the host for giving me this opportunity.

Great experience! ♥️🙏🏼 It was really chill and cool work there! I really loved the fact we're close to everything and we have bikes if we want to go out. I met a lot of friends at 36hostel and they are awesome! About the work you just have to clean basically and the work is not that hard, they usually ask you for 4h per day but sometimes is even less and when you finish you just able to do whatever you want. Also they provide some rice so you can cook there and save money ♥️ Thank you Rika for everything! You're so kind and always trying to communicate with us in English as better as you can!

Hiroshima is such a great city to spend more time! Also, the facilities in the hostel are all pretty good, quite clean and new. The location is quite good as well, since there are a lot of things to do and places to go within a walking distance.

This was my first experience. I'm so glad I did this! Like others said, the work can be challenging and you will generally work 11-3 for housekeeping; however, you can finish early. The environment is great, everyone's sweet and supportive. Everyone there genuinely felt like life-long friends from the start.
