All in all I had an amazing experience. The cleaning tasks were always possible to finish in time and it was interesting to work in a japanese hostel. Lunch and dinner have been always great with the other volunteers and staff. Takayama itself is a lovely small city with lush nature around it and it's cultural old town. I can definitely recommend volunteering here to get a break from the big cities.

The volunteering was great! Takayama is a lovely town where you can experience a lot of culture. We worked four hours a day in the morning, cleaning the hostel and preparing the rooms for guests. All the staff sat together for lunch and dinner in the main branch, which was really delightful. In August, we experienced a few festivals with other volunteers and staff members. Overall, we had an awesome time enjoying the activities together with everyone we met.

What a truly wonderful month it has been. Takayama is a lovely city and so much livelier than you would think. We never ran out of things to do. There are a lot of staff and volunteers which made it quite the social experience: I met amazing people during my time here. The staff is attentive and the work is really fair, the hotel's automation system is very convenient for guests and volunteers, and the meals you get are so so good! This is a must do volunteering experience for anyone coming to Japan. I left with tears in my eyes, unforgettable memories and lots of friends. Thank you the hostel!!

I had a wonderful experience volunteering at the hostel. From the moment I arrived, both the staff and other volunteers were super welcoming. I made great friends, had lots of fun, and learned a lot about Japanese culture & traditions. Even though Takayama is a small town, there's always something going on, almost every week there are amazing festivals & events, plus activities organized by the team for volunteers. All of this made my stay even more special. Thanks to everyone for this amazing experience. And special thanks to my cook sensei Ratree, who was an essential part of it. 🫶

I had the absolutely time of my life at the hostel 🥹🫶 The work hours were really good (though be aware that the cooking position has different work hours from the other volunteers and it might be unpleasant), the work in the kitchen was nice and never too hard (I loved it!), Takayama is a lovely town and there are a lot of things to see and do, and the staff made me feel at home. The best thing was staying with the other volunteers and do karaoke/movie nights/games but also just eating together. Thank you to all the staff and volunteers at the hostel for the amazing experience!

The experience was truly amazing! The whole team is kind, welcoming, and always available if needed. I spent three incredible weeks at the hostel Hotel, discovering so many things and meeting wonderful people. I highly recommend making a stop there!

I've spent one of the best summers of my life working at the hostel, largely thanks to the wonderful people I've got to meet and the connections we've formed during our time together. Takayama itself is a super nice town to live in and the staff apartment we were housed in was a nice accommodation, after some little modifications we did with the managers. The work is doable, but the workload changes from one branch to the other. In any case, the managers and members of the staff are always there to help with any problems the volunteers could have. If I could go back there again, I would.

I appreciated the team & community spirit very much. All was well organised. Shifts were as accorded and they left lot of time to experience the local culture and visit nearby areas.

This was my first time travelling with worldpackers and I must admit it was overall a great experience! The working hours are respected and it is not too hard, the hostel team is open to working on accomodating the days off as best as possible and the atmosphere is very international (almost all the stuff is made up of international people). The town is small but authentic!
