This was definitely one of the greatest experiences I have had on my trip! I had an amazing time with the volunteers, as well as Kenta and his family and the kids in the school <3 The working times were very flexible and short and it made a LOT of fun to work there! We had a lot of free time and were able to go to surrounding areas, to hike, see Mount Fuji and go swimming at a waterfall. We also did a traditional tea ceremony together and I just made a LOT of new friends over the 3 weeks I have stayed here.

I absolutely loved my home stay with Kenta and Natsuki. They were so welcoming and kind! They also encouraged cultural exchange through conversations, food, and activities. The teaching was also enjoyable and straightforward, and you always taught alongside other teachers so you weren't on your own. My only “concern” was the lack of communication about the job responsibilities, but thankfully they are very simple and straightforward so after a day or two I was able to easily adjust. Otherwise, I wish I could've stayed longer!

Volunteering at Tsuru School was exactly as described , light and flexible hours, a chill environment, and lots of space to express yourself. Teaching English or practicing calligraphy with the kids felt rewarding, and sharing the experience with other volunteers made it even more enjoyable. Kenta, the host, is super friendly, down-to-earth, and knows how to make volunteers feel at home. Having traveled a lot, he totally gets it. The whole vibe is warm and relaxed, perfect if you're looking for a meaningful, low-pressure way to experience life in a peaceful Japanese town

When I first arrived Kenta welcomed me with open arms. He invited me to his home knowing very little about me. I felt like I was welcome, that's because I was. Teaching English was very easy as I am fluent in English . It was a very pleasant experience to teach and meet people from around the world. This was my first time volunteering and it was an incredible experience for it being my first . The workload is good and the accommodation was very comfy. Tsuru has many local restaurants that are very friendly and the food is incredible. This place is the embodiment of local Japan.

Our time in Tsuru was quite amazing, Kenta and his family are such incredible people. I would highly recommend helping out at the language school if you get the chance.

I really loved my stay in Tsuru! You meet many Japanese students everyday and even though sometimes they're a little shy they are soooo cute! You do easy work and only work 2-3 hours a day. The staff is really kind and helping. Thank you for everything Kenta and Natsuki it was so nice to have the chance to live in the house with you! ❤️❤️

This was my first Worldpackers volunteering experience and I couldn't have asked for more. Kenta, Natsuki, and their son Zen made me feel like a part of the family, even going out of their way to help take us places by car. One of my favourite parts of the stay was playing with Zen and his trains! Teaching English in the cram school was great, and the kids were well behaved. We were given lesson plans and resources to help us teach. I loved meeting all the other amazing volunteers, and hope to come back one day.

Staying with Kenta and Natski was a wonderful experience, they have a lovely family and community. I felt like I was making a difference at the school by improving the English skills of children and adults and enjoyed getting to know other travellers. I had time to spend exploring the local area before working in the afternoon or evening and spent time with Kenta and Natski's family around the house and on day trips. Thanks both for a lovely experience, I've enjoyed getting to know you!

We had an amazing time at the school and are so thankful for the whole experience! Kenta warmly welcomed us and made us feel at home from day one. The school is well organized, with great programs like Chat Spot and adult learning. The kids and parents were lovely and truly value international teachers. Kenta is a generous host, and we loved spending time with his family. Tsuru is beautiful, close to Mt. Fuji, with nature, hikes, and great food. Unforgettable! Thank you Kenta!

We had the absolute best stay with Kenta, Natsuki, and Zen. It was our first ever homestay and they could not have been more welcoming towards us. We loved the communal dinners where we would have the chance to connect with both their family and friends. The teaching was nice, the kids are very friendly and sweet and the classes had clear lesson plans and resources to help. We made many memories here that will never be forgotten. Thank you, Kenta, Natsuki, Zen (and Maro!!). We hope to see you again soon :)
