I had such a lovely time here! Ken welcomed me with open arms and made me feel at home from the very beginning. He was always kind, respectful, and easy to talk to. The work was super light and nicely shared among the volunteers, and the metro is just a few steps away. I truly loved staying here and I'll always carry this experience in my heart!

I stayed at the guest house for about six weeks, and honestly, the place is absolutely amazing. The work is ridiculously easy — four hours a day, nothing complicated, super chill. It gives you heaps of time to explore, hang out, or just do your thing. The hosts and managers are great. Shibuken especially — such a good soul. Everyone made me feel welcome from day one, and the vibe of the whole place just felt like home. Met awesome people, had a ton of fun, and felt like I was part of something real. If you're looking for a laid-back spot with good people and basically zero stress, this is it

My experience at the guest house was great for the time I had! Although shorter than I anticipated, Kentaro San was kind and understanding to my situation. I believe this hostel has alot of potential, and this is understandable since it has recently opened! Something I do wish was better was communication of responsibilities for volunteers. Having a clear checklist of what duties should be fulfilled by volunteers every day, and giving clarity for what days of you will have for the week. Thank you for this experience!

I haven't seen a place dirtier than this. I left days after arriving because I couldn't handle it. Definitely won't see me again
