We stayed and volunteered at the hostel for one month and one week, and it was our very first volunteer experience. It truly couldn't have been better. The staff is amazing, the facilities are excellent, and during our free time we really enjoyed exploring the beautiful city of Takayama — a place we absolutely fell in love with. We also met wonderful people and made great friendships along the way. Definitely a wonderful first volunteering experience. We're grateful for everything!

We had a great time at the hostel working with a great team, making fantastic memories and friends. The only times there was any kind of an issue was just sometimes when doing the cleaning when it was shown by one person how to do things that this was not the same standard that others may have expected. But this was only minor and does not take away from the great time we had. Thanks to all the team for making us feel welcome and especially Rattis cooking g for making sure we had full bellies!

Takayama it is a lovely place with loads of good food around! Everyone in the staff and volunteers where lovely ppl and the tasks where doable, any time that you had too much job to finish in the stablished 4 hrs they will actually send someone to help you! The only thing is that some times someone could say to do things one way and someone else could say differently but not a big problem tbh as they were always very nice asking or correcting things! I would definitely recommend the experience!

It has been an engaging and memorable one month for me, thanks to the host's friendly staff members and also other young and energetic volunteer members. I had plenty of time to explore Takayama and its surrounding areas. Be able to connect with the locals who offered me a glimpse of Japanese culture was also the highlight of my trip.

I lived a happy month in Takayama :) Work is straightforward and well communicated. Food is plentiful, delicious and social. There are excellent opportunities to explore the city and the nearby mountains. There's often something happening and long-term staff are enthusiastic in helping you get the most of it. Thanks Murusaki team :)

I stayed for 2 weeks, but I wish I could have stayed longer! I had so much fun, it's such a sociable place. The staff are very friendly, the food is amazing, and the work is easy. Shifts are fair (4 hours a day and 2 days off per week) so you have plenty of time to explore! Takayama is beautiful too; I truly recommend staying here❤️

This volunteer mission was one of the best I ever had so far! The kitchen shifts was really cool and you get the chance to work with Ratree one of the best cheffe I ever met 🫶🏽 The accommodation is really cosy and close to your work place. There's a lot of things to do around like sake tasting, cooking class, walk by the river, excellent restaurants… This experience was also incredible thanks to all the staff who were really professional and welcoming, thanks to Javi, Ryutaro, Clara, Ratree, Hiromi, Radka, Liam, Luke, Maiko San for their hard work and for facilitating the work organization

Volunteering at the hostel has been a really nice experience. Takayama is a small city, but very picturesque and with a lot of history, a glimpse of what Japan really is. Working hours are very manageable, 4h per day max, which it gives you plenty of time to discover the city and all the surroundings, thanks to very well connected bus and train lines. Cherry on the cake, you are going to meet many international travellers, whom will make the experience full of memories.
