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🇨🇱
