My time at the guest house was nothing short of amazing. Chris and Kumi really do take care of the volunteers and are always around and happy to chat and give recommendations for things to do! The work required is very fair and is a good opportunity to meet many locals or other travellers! Because the work is mainly done in the evenings, you get the chance to make the most of your days! Chris and Kumi really know how to make a guesthouse feel homely and I appreciate being given the opportunity to volunteer here!

I loved volunteering at the guest house. The family are the kindest people, they make you feel at home. The guesthouse and cafe are both filled with loads of character. The reception work is easy. It's fun and insightful chatting to loads of other travellers. Matsumoto is a beautiful city and a good base point for travelling to other nearby cities/sites. I'm so happy I came here!

Chris and Kumi are really kind, and their whole family is so sweet! The accommodation they provided me was both cozy and beautiful. The café has a super chill vibe and is located in a popular tourist spot, which makes it a great place to meet other travelers. Most of the work at the café involves serving tables and doing the dishes, but I also got to help in the kitchen and make drinks, which was really fun! The staff are all cheerful and welcoming. I really enjoyed my stay…they've been amazing hosts!

Chris and Kumi are wonderful hosts and it's reflected in the way they are running both the guesthouse and the cafe. The atmosphere they create is super friendly and welcoming so it's easy to feel at home and interact with the guests and the other staff. The work itself straightforward and fun, and there's lots of time to explore matsumoto and the surrounding area.

Staying at the guest house was an amazing experience! Chris and Kumi are incredibly kind and welcoming, and the café staff are just as lovely. The reception work is fun and a great way to meet travelers from all over the world. The music nights and small gatherings made the place truly special. If you're looking for a creative city surrounded by mountains, full of culture, and kind people, this place is definitely for you! thank you for this great time!

Volunteering here was an awesome experience. Chris and Kumi showed incredible hospitality and are very generous. The cafe work was as described and all the staff there are the best. Chris and Kumi would sometimes take the volunteers out to do activities if they had time off. There are free bikes, board games and the cafe has the best coffee! There are often music events in the cafe so a great place if you like jazz. I would definitely recommend volunteering here.

The best experience you could possibly ask for, Chris & Kumi are the kindest people always willing to help and change your schedule if you have things you'd like to do on specific days! Very easy work and japanese staff to help with Japanese check-ins if you don't speak japanese, great for meeting people to go out with if you'd like to! Zero complaints, Highly recommend

Volunteering here is the best ! Kumi and Chris are super nice and everyone from the staff at the cafe downsatir are super lovely as well so you should defo go hang out there :) Work is as presented - you'll do reception which is great to connect with travellers and also practice your japanese with the japanese guests. Matsumoto is a great city and a good base if you like to hike. I would recommend it without hesitation if I could, I would volunteer here again.
