My time at Peace House the guest house was truly meaningful and unforgettable. From the moment I arrived, the atmosphere felt welcoming, authentic, and full of life. The house attracts travelers and volunteers from different parts of the world, so every day felt like a cultural exchange — full of stories, shared meals, and laughter.

I had an amazing time at Peace House the guest house, and made some really awesome friends. The place had a family vibe and it felt like a home in Osaka. The work was easy and at times actually pretty fun. The reception work was also easy to learn. The managers were kind and super accommodating, especially with all my rostering requests. I couldn't have done everything I did with out their help. Steve was such as amazing host! I had a fantastic time and wish I could have stayed a lot longer. I hope I can volunteer at PH the guest house again, and will definitely visit next time I'm in Osaka

I had such a great time at Peace House! Steve, the manager, is super fun, kind, and always ready to help. He explains everything clearly, answers all your questions, and really makes you feel at home. Kenji and the rest of the staff are also amazing — always friendly and easy to talk to. The work is simple (maybe a bit long sometimes), but totally fair, and if you have plans, they'll do their best to adjust the schedule. I'd definitely come back if I get the chance!

During my volunteer experience at Peace House, I had the opportunity to meet people from many different countries, which allowed me to learn about various cultures and ways of life. I also spent time with locals, who were very kind and helped me get to know the city better. The activities at the hostel were calm and the atmosphere was very pleasant, giving us time to explore Osaka, discover new places, and enjoy local life. It was an enriching experience that taught me a lot and left me with great memories.

I've volunteered at the guest house many times and everytime it's been a blast. You get to meet locals, travelers.. I made long lasting friends during my volunteering. The work itself is really light and easy, and Steve is an amazing manager that will accompany you if you're facing any trouble! I highly recommend this as your first experience ! It's truly the only place in the world where I feel at home away from home.. I can't wait to go back more and more haha. See you next time Steve !
