The hostel was my first experience with Worldpackers and I really enjoyed it! The place is well located, close to supermarkets or other touristic spots. I feel very welcomed since day 1 and had the opportunity to meet very interesting people (staff and hosts). If you are a very introverted person you might not like it since Osaka lifestyle is very outgoing and you might find the night life a bit overwhelming though. Osaka itself is a small city which gives you the opportunity to discover closer prefectures in 1-2 day trips. I visited Kyotango area and Wakayama several times myself!

The hostel was my first place where I volunteered and I could not have asked for a better one. The staff is really nice and the work hours are fine. I've met so many new people and made a lot of new friends. This is truly a social hostel and I will recommend it to everyone

I had a very good time at the hostel! I also truely believe that this is the most Social Hostel in Osaka! Thank you so much to all the Volunteers and especially to the Managers Maika and Takuro! The room where we stand is very small, but besides of that, everything was perfect! The work is easy and not much! Definitly reccomend!

It only needs one word to describe my stay here: AMAZING! This was the most social hostel I stayed and worked in in Japan so far. The staff is super open and friendly, clean facilities, you are super fast in the main areas of Osaka, its easy to do day trips to Nara, Kyoto, Kobe and Wakayama, there are a lot of social events in and from the hostel, the work time and tasks are even in busy season super doable and most important for me, it really felt like home🫶. I recommend the hostel/the hostel-the hostel to everyone who is searching for a volunteering experience in or around Osaka 😊.

A had an amazing time in the hostel! Although I only stayed here for a short while, I met so many great people and made good friends. It is definitely the most social hostel in all of Osaka and it's really easy to talk to everyone here. The work was well communicated and in most days we were finished in under 3 hours! If you want to come to Osaka, definitely apply here :) Thank you Miyako & Takuro for this amazing time!!
