Great experience. The place is lovely and you have plenty of time to visit nearby places as you also have a lot of time off. Hiro is nice and helpful, always asking if you want some specific days off. Kobe it's a great place to stay.

I can't express how grateful I am for this experience. The hostel is small and cozy, with eclectic vibes and nice atmosphere. Hiro is a wonderful manager and person: he is attentive, patient and available. During my stay, I had the perfect balance between visiting Japan and working, and this really had a huge positive impact on my overall experience. On top of everything, I met other wonderful volunteers and travelers who were willing to share their stories and insights and listen to mine. It was a truly enriching experience I will never forget. A big hug to Yume Nomad!💚

I had a great experience in the hostel/Nakamura. The atmosphere is quiet and pleasant . The tasks are simple and very intuitive, mainly making beds, cleaning and check in guests. You also have a lot of free time during the week to explore the city. Hiro was an excellent host and very friendly, and Mayumi was very kind. I really enjoyed being here. I totally recommend this experience.

It was a pleasant volunteer, Hiro was always attentive and very respectful. In the hostel there is always good energy and you feel at home. I am grateful for the opportunity to learn new skills and improve my English. Kobe is a beautiful, quiet and safe place. You are close to Osaka and Kyoto, so you always have something to do in your free time. I totally recommend it, the people who work in the hostel are also very friendly, I stayed a month and I loved the experience.
