Activities & Shift

Most shifts are in the morning (9am-3pm), with the rest of the day off to explore the city.

Help with general cleaning, bed-making, assist guests with their needs, cooking meals, and the reception. Most guests are foreigners, so no Japanese is required!

You can exchange shifts with other staff if you can't help a certain day, making it very flexible. There is no formal dresscode, you can listen to music while cleaning, and you can chat with guests on shift.
