This was my first worldpackers or volunteer experience in general, and going into it I was extremely nervous. However, it ended up being a really wonderful experience and I'm so happy I did it. The hostel itself is not only well maintained and clean, but the downstairs area gives you a great opportunity to meet so many people from around the world. The work can be a bit overwhelming at first, but Ryoko-san is extremely patient and is always willing to help or explain something again. By the end, work became kind of relaxing. If you're thinking about applying, do it! It's so much fun.

This is perfect place if you are looking for place you can feel comfortable, and wanna practice English or Japanese(especially if you can work in reception). We have great atmosphere among volunteers as well. And we hang out often, so you don't have to worry about the atmosphere. And also Hiroshima city is very lively and easy to interact with people. Lastly, staffs including Ryoko san are really great! I highly recommend here!

It completely changed my view of cleanliness & care. Japanese hospitality redefines service & customer satisfaction. The facility is spotless! Cube beds are private & comfy. They provide the basics + hair dryer/straightener. You can cook, & free frozen rice is made daily by Ryoko-san. Perfect location, 5 min from the main station. Walking is great, transport is easy, & they offer e-bikes. Many restaurants, malls & convenience stores nearby. Hiroshima is beautiful, full of nature & great hikes. Miyajima Island is amazing! Special thanks to Ryoko-san, a kind wonder women! 🩷

I've been working only at the reception at the guest house. Reception shifts are supposed to be 3-10pm but often tend to finish about half an hour later. The upside is more free days to explore and gives more chances to practice Japanese. The owner has been kind and easy going. He really cares about this place. I spent great time with everyone and actually extended my stay (not sure how to extend in worldpackers). Im really happy that I was able to volunteer here!

I had a wonderful experience at the guest house, the hostel is quite comfortable and has a very pleasant vibe. I worked in cleaning and making beds which was demanding but helps you improve housekeeping skills. Ryoko was very kind and sweet and taught me and explained how to do everything about work. Thank you Fumi for this very good experience

I only stayed for two weeks but I really enjoyed the experience. I worked at the reception so I got to practice my japanese a lot. Ryoko-san and Fumi-san were very patient and nice, and I met many cool people in the hostel. The place is extremely clean and organized, overall I had a great time!

My experience at the guest house was amazing. The environment is wonderful and cozy. My experience allowed me to meet many people from all over the world, both volunteers and guests and I developed some amazing bonds. The tasks were a little tough and difficult, but Ryoko, who is really sweet and nice, was always there to help and explain things that were unclear. Furthermore, the workday never lasted longer than 4 hours, finishing not later than 3pm, which gave me the chance to have plenty of free time to enjoy the wonderful city of Hiroshima. Thank you Fumi and Ryoko for this wonderful experience!<3

Wonderful first experience in Japan. The work is very thorough but it serves as an excellent training for people interested in furthering their skills in hospitality. The hostel is beautiful and bright and I would definitely see myself staying there again, also as a guest. Ryoko-san in charge of the housekeeping was absolutely wonderful in every way and I will miss her and most of the volunteers a lot. My only regret is that I wish I had stayed longer.

Sin duda la mejor experiencia de mi vida. Si bien fue mi primer voluntariado debo reconocer que fue la mejor decisión. Hiroshima es una ciudad pequeña pero que tiene mucho que ofrecer, y el hostel también. La gente del staff es maravillosa, desde el primer día fueron muy amables y me hicieron sentir muy especial. En un comienzo solicité estar 4 semanas como voluntaria, pero me enamoré de la cultura japonesa y solicité extender por más tiempo. Y sin duda espero volver el próximo año. Respecto al trabajo, en un comienzo puede ser un poco duro, pero unos días después te vuelves rápido.

I had a wonderful time at the guest house. The hostel's location right next to Hiroshima Station is incredibly convenient. Everyone was very friendly, and it's a great place to make new friends. A big thank you to Fumi and Ryoko, who generously provided us with plenty of food over Christmas and New Year. I especially want to thank Ryoko, who was always patient and understanding with me. I will definitely visit the guest house a few more times in the future!
