My experience at the school was amazing. I stayed for a month and a week, and it became one of my favorite experiences in Japan. The atmosphere was super warm and friendly, and I always felt at home. The tasks were easy to manage, and the people I met made everything even better. I'm really sad to leave, but I hope I can come back someday. I truly recommend this experience to anyone. ✌️😋 すごい❗

The school made my first trip to Japan something I'll never forget. I spend a month in an incredible environment, full of fun and caring people. If you are looking to be part of a community far from your home, the school is your place. The task are easy to learn, and is fun to be part of the English program! In general the workload is light I feel very inspired and motivated by the people I met, but especially for Ai and Audrey. When I first came I felt welcome, and now in my very last day I felt appreciated. I cannot put together in words how grateful I am and how sad it feels to be leaving. Love ya'll 🤍

This was my first time doing this and I had an amazing time. Everyone was so nice and welcoming. They were all so understanding and made me feel comfortable and I was able to be myself. It was amazing. Probably the best month of my life. The activities are great and everyone is so relaxed. Its perfect for those who are less into the party life and more into exploring and having an adventure making new friends along the way. I really had a good time!

My experience was really positive. From day one, I felt comfortable and welcome! It's a very cosy place with a warm atmosphere that quickly makes you feel part of a community. Audrey and Ai-chan are wonderful hosts, always kind, understanding and willing to make your stay unforgettable. During my stay, my tasks was cleaning the common areas and guest-rooms, activities with students, and helping with video editing. All of these tasks give me plenty of free time in the afternoons to explore and go out. I highly recommend this experience for a meaningful cultural exchange in a fun environment.

My girlfriend and I stayed at the school for 3 months, and calling it a wonderful experience wouldn't be enough. We found a little home here and we couldn't be happier to have met such amazing people in such a short time. Ai-chan and Audrey are truly the best hosts, and they're ready to help with anything you might need. The work itself mainly involves housekeeping, and it's quite simple, usually from 11 to 2. We had our own room as a couple, though other volunteers usually share depending on the rotation. Living at the school has been one of the best experiences we've had in years. Highly recommended!!💕
