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!

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.

Thank you so much for staying with us, Aaron.
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!

I had such an incredibke time at the guest house! Issei-san, Shinji-san, and all the rest of the staff are so kind and welcoming, it makes me feel at home! Most of the staff speak a little bit of english, but if you are a Japanese learner, you will have ample opportunity to practice. Both Casa Noda and the guest house are located in really excellent, central areas (especially the guest house) and both hostels see lots of international tourists as well as domestic ones, so you will get the chance to meet all kinds of new people! I highly recommend staying here :)

I had a great time at the hostel! The working hours were fair and easy to manage, which left plenty of time to explore the area. The tasks were mostly the same each day, which could get a bit monotonous over time, but you always knew what to do. The team was super friendly, and with the daily change of staff and guests, there were always new people to meet. Nagasaki is a beautiful city – rich in history, yet relaxed and vibrant. There's so much to explore, both in the city itself and in the surrounding areas. Overall, a worthwhile experience. ありがとうございます！
