I really had the best time here at the guest house! I met amazing people that I will never forget, and every night was full of fun and laughter. The work is not difficult at all and very easy to do. The location is great for exploring Osaka and even for trips to nearby cities like Kyoto and Kobe. Madoka and Takeo are incredibly kind, they treated us with sweets and snacks and even gave us tickets to baseball games, which I really enjoyed. Of course, the experience also depends on the people you meet, but if you make the most of it, it's truly unforgettable! Highly recommend :)

Truly a wonderful experience! My time at the guesthouse was full of joy and great people. The tasks and hours were as accorded, the room was simple but comfortable and the location is also pretty nice! It's true that the other volunteers make the experience and it my case… what an experience! I had so much fun and met really cool people, I'll miss them a lot. Takeo and Madoka also made my stay a very pleasant one and were kind enough to invite us to baseball and make homemade meals sometimes.

Our time at the guest house was phenomenal! The work was exactly as described and the expectations were very clear. The hours are very reasonable and gave us plenty of time to explore Osaka and surrounding cities like Nara, Kobe, and Kyoto. Madoka and Takeo also did a wonderful job of helping us feel at home and get to know the area we were staying in. We were initially apprehensive as this was our first Worldpackers experience, but overall the experience was great and we would definitely recommend this to other first-time volunteers!

オーウェンとライリーは本当に素敵なカップルでした。
親切で、敬意を払い、いつもとても誠実な方法で感謝の気持ちを伝えていました。
彼らは非常に信頼でき、ホストする喜びでした。

彼らは掃除の責任を真剣に受け止め、常に一生懸命働き、細部にまで気を配っていました。
分からないことがあった時は、彼らは躊躇せずに質問し、非常に責任ある態度を示しました。
彼らがしたことはすべて慎重に行動をしてくれて助かりました。

彼らは2人でよく一緒に時間を過ごしていましたが、私たちのイベントに参加し、他の人とつながるように努力し、素晴らしいコミュニケーションとチームスピリットを示しました。
彼らは私たちのスタッフや他のボランティアと仲良くなりました。

彼らが私たちと一緒にいてくれて本当に感謝し、いつでも喜んで歓迎します。
お二人の助けと素晴らしいエネルギーに感謝します！

将来のホストに強くお勧めします！

We had a great time at the guest house! Takeo-san was an incredibly generous and gracious host, and made us feel welcome. The work was fair and exactly as advertised, with clear expectations and communication. The hostel is located in a great area in Osaka, away from some of the more tourist centric areas, but with transit close nearby and accessible, so getting around the city is very easy. The time off provided was more than enough for us to not only explore Osaka but the surrounding cities as well, like Nara, Kyoto, and Kobe. We could not recommend this experience strongly enough!
