The guest house was my my first volunteering experience in Japan and it was a perfect start for my time here. I learned about housekeeping and met some good people :) The location was right next to Senjo-ji temple in the middle of Asakusa which was nice. There is a lot to do and it's easy to meet other travellers in the guesthouse. The kitchen and bathrooms were good and clean of course! Staff is really nice and welcoming. I would go back someday!! Thank you the guest house <3

I spent two months volunteering at the guest house, and it was a great experience. The staff is very kind and always helpful. The location is excellent, close to many tourist spots in Tokyo. The work schedule is very convenient, as it usually ends around 1:30 PM, leaving the rest of the day free to explore the city and enjoy everything Tokyo has to offer.

I had an amazing experience at the guest house. Great location! Shrines, cheap supermarket, train station not far away!:) Bed was comfortable and kitchen is well equipped (free rice most of the time:)) and free laundry! Hours are respected- you need to be ready to work though. It depends on how many volunteers is there at the time but you are expected to do good job-sometimes physically demanding. They accommodated my requests and tried their best to make me feel comfortable- especially receptionists (Oi-san, Claire and Nana-san; thank you for everything!) Overall definitely recommend!

I had a wonderful experience staying at the guest house! The atmosphere of the guesthouse is warm and cozy. During my stay, I learned a looot about housekeeping. The location in Asakusa is fantastic, with easy access to local attractions and public transportation. I truly appreciated the kindness of all the staff working here, especially of the volunteers that were with me during June, with whom I shared memorable experiences.
