I had a great time volunteering at Hostel the hostel! It was a great opportunity to connect with Japanese culture and meet people from many different countries. The atmosphere is relaxed and friendly, and I really enjoyed the cultural exchange. The location is super convenient — just three train stops from Namba, so it's easy to explore Osaka and get around. The only small downside is for people who like to cook often, since the kitchen has only a single electric burner. But everything else was smooth and enjoyable. Thanks for the experience!

I volunteered at the hostel for 2 months and it was such a memorable experience. The hostel is very much volunteer-run, as I only met the owner, Akari and her husband, Hyogo, once. Communication with them was done solely through the Line app, however they were always very responsive. The hostel itself is very small, only 3 guest rooms and 1 volunteer room, so it was hard at times to find your own personal space. Nonetheless, the location of the hostel is great as the train station is about a 2 min walk away. I met some life-long friends there and I would recommend this experience to anyone <3

Akari-san is really nice and chill. All the tasks are equally organized for each shift and you have plenty of time to go out and tour. The hostel vibe is the best! also has a great location 2 min away from metro station. This was my first time in Japan and it was unforgettable thanks to the people I met here and the free time I had. Would totally recommend and can't wait to come back! Saludos desde Chile🇨🇱
