The experience

I need your help to maintain the hostel and teach English to my Japanese students. You DON'T have to be from a native English-speaking country.
When its busy, we usually have activities from around 10am to 2pm, preparing the room for coming guests. The work involves cleaning the rooms and keeping the house clean.
I can cover your food cost!

Program Details

Hi there! I've traveled around the world 9 years and been to 92 countries so far. Came back to Japan 2018 and started a backpacker's hostel and English class for Japanese locals in my house. The house is surrounded by mountains (including Michelin 3 star Mt Takao), many small rivers ,beautiful hotsprings and the Sagami lake. The river right next to my house is so beautiful! And you can swim in there in summer. Still, an hour away from Japan's biggest downtown Shinjuku.


Rules

If you love nature, training, want to immerse in Japanese local culture, love to teach English, this is the place for you!
