All in all I had an amazing experience. The cleaning tasks were always possible to finish in time and it was interesting to work in a japanese hostel. Lunch and dinner have been always great with the other volunteers and staff. Takayama itself is a lovely small city with lush nature around it and it's cultural old town. I can definitely recommend volunteering here to get a break from the big cities.

The volunteering was great! Takayama is a lovely town where you can experience a lot of culture. We worked four hours a day in the morning, cleaning the hostel and preparing the rooms for guests. All the staff sat together for lunch and dinner in the main branch, which was really delightful. In August, we experienced a few festivals with other volunteers and staff members. Overall, we had an awesome time enjoying the activities together with everyone we met.

What a truly wonderful month it has been. Takayama is a lovely city and so much livelier than you would think. We never ran out of things to do. There are a lot of staff and volunteers which made it quite the social experience: I met amazing people during my time here. The staff is attentive and the work is really fair, the hotel's automation system is very convenient for guests and volunteers, and the meals you get are so so good! This is a must do volunteering experience for anyone coming to Japan. I left with tears in my eyes, unforgettable memories and lots of friends. Thank you the hostel!!

I had a wonderful experience volunteering at the hostel. From the moment I arrived, both the staff and other volunteers were super welcoming. I made great friends, had lots of fun, and learned a lot about Japanese culture & traditions. Even though Takayama is a small town, there's always something going on, almost every week there are amazing festivals & events, plus activities organized by the team for volunteers. All of this made my stay even more special. Thanks to everyone for this amazing experience. And special thanks to my cook sensei Ratree, who was an essential part of it. 🫶
