It was my second time volunteering here and I couldn't be more grateful. I met a lot of people during my stay that now I can call friends, and as I said in my previous feedback about the work it can be done in 2 hours if everyone works as a team and you have 6 days off per month, also great location if you like Namba. Thank you so much Jun さん

I stayed 2 months at the hostel and its location couldnt be better. Its at the heart of Namba right Next to the river. The work is easy, normally takes 1.5 hours to clean everything and you get 6 days off per month. Staff is very friendly, and although It might not be the most social hostel, you can practice your Japanese easily since most of the volunteers are Japanese or From Asían countries also studying Japanese (atleast my experience). 100% Recommended!

It was my first time as a volunteer and it was really good. I meet kind people in there, and at the beginning my Japanese's skills were not the best, but with practice I can say I'm better at understanding:) Also, you will have a shared dorm only with the staff, which I think is really nice. The work schedule it's very flexible depending on the day and how many volunteers are working, but everything is done very quick as everyone helps each other. If I come back to Osaka I would like to volunteer here again. Thank you so much for having me!

The hostel was my first volunteering position in Japan, and I love it, the team welcome me very well and I had a cosy home for more than a month. The hostel is very well located so you can discover a lot during your free time !

The hostel is very nice place to stay, the location is perfect but a bit noisy. Namba and Dotonbori are very cool places in Osaka. The work at the hostel was easy, most of the volunteers work at the same time so it takes little time to finish! We got along with the other volunteers and staff, we got to do many things together! Jun is a very nice host that cared for us! I'd recommend the stay 100%
