I've had a great time at Hostel Casa Noda, this was my first Worldpackers experience and I couldn't have asked for more. Thank you to Shinji and Issei for being so welcoming as well as all the other staff for all the little Japanese lessons thought my stay. I definitely would recommend this stay for anyone looking to explore Nagasaki, the city is nice a chill with plenty of history and nature to explore. ありがとうございます!!

Thank you for the days you spent with us in Nagasaki.
Fred, you helped us with so many things—from daily cleaning to communicating with our guests.
Thank you also for your advice. It's true that there were days when balancing the workload wasn’t easy
, but you always took the initiative to find things to do, and that was such a big help. Thank you so much!

Had an amazing time in Nagasaki! This was my first 5 star experience of working here in Japan. The city has a lot to offer and there's a lot of beautiful nature to explore. The hostel (the guest house) is located in a nice location and it's very clean and the bed was comfortable. The staff was wonderful! Very friendly and patient while I was trying to practice my Japanese. They also really respect the hours. I was definitely a helper instead of having to run the hostel which was nice. The work it self is also very straightforward with all the tools needed available.

Thank you again for coming to Nagasaki, Sarah.
Nagasaki is felt like a faraway place I think , but hearing that you enjoyed your time here truly makes all of us happy.
Spending time with you has become a special memory for us as well.
Wishing you many days ahead filled with your wonderful smile and happiness.

The guest house was my first volunteering experience in Japan and I would highly recommend it to everyone!! The work itself is so chill, and the hours are respected to the dot. We were helpers to the staff - all were super helpful with instructions on what to do each day. I did only get 2 full days off in the 3 weeks I worked, so it might be more worthwhile to stay for the 4 weeks and get 4 full days off. The hostel itself was v friendly, w guests from all across the world. Added bonus for free bread and jam, always good for brekkie and snacking time. The city is so so so gorgeous too!

Thank you very much for coming.
We’re truly grateful for all the help you gave us, and we’re very happy if we were able to contribute, even in a small way, to your memories and experiences here in Japan.
We sincerely apologize regarding the days off. Our system is set to provide one day off every seven days, but we failed to account for the fact that you arrived a day earlier than originally scheduled.
You should have been given one more day off, and we deeply regret this oversight.

The work itself is easy and the working hours are also not too much, but it can become a bit monotonous after some time. However, the guest house/Noda-Staff was very friendly and engaging in conversations. The hostel and dorms are very clean and quite new, but if you are sensitive to noise, it can get a little loud in the dorms, since you share them with some people. Overall, I had a great time, met a lot of nice people and the City is also very nice to explore. I would definitely recommend!

As far as the work itself, I occasionally felt like the expectations cast upon me were particularly high, especially as a foreigner in Japan. With that being said, the Casa Noda/the guest house team was always reasonable with me and very fair. I had a fantastic time in Nagasaki at this hostel, the vibes are incredible and I met so many cool people. This was a great opportunity to improve my Japanese and explore a more local area of Japan that most tourists don't ever get to see. Nagasaki is so rich in culture and history, as well as having some of the most beautiful nature in Japan.

We truly appreciated the thoughtfulness and effort you brought during your time here.
It was a pleasure to see how openly and sincerely you engaged with Nagasaki — not only its history and culture, but also the rhythm of daily local life that many visitors overlook. We hope those experiences will stay with you and continue to shape your journey in meaningful ways.
Wishing you continued growth and good health on your journey ahead!
