It was a great experience overall, I was very lucky with the other volunteers that were there since I found friends for life <3, but the hostel staff was really great as well, the manager Madoka-san is the sweetest and most understanding person, she's a great person and always cared for all of us and planned a lot of fun activities for us to enjoy :) the work was okay, it depended on how busy the hostel was, but usually wouldn't take longer than the hours that are established, sometimes they'll get a little strict with some of the cleaning but overall it was pretty good.

I had a great time at the guest house. The manager Madoka-san was very helpful with anything the volunteers needed and hosted lots of different dinners for us at the hostel where we could all get together and try different Japanese meals. The work was rarely longer than the 3 hours and everyone helped eachother to get it done. The location is really good and easily linked to the city from Teradacho or Tennoji station. Had a great time here with the other volunteers and staff. Thank you :)

I absolutely loved my visit. Takeo and Madoka are incredible and understanding people, they allowed me to really get in touch with the people. They cooked all the time! The parties, karaoke, and picnics were just tops. The crew all got really close, the other volunteers were diverse and amazing. I stay in contact with them and hope to return :)

This was my first time volunteering and I had the best time! The task was easy and straightforward. There are other volunteers that will work with you and interacting with fellow volunteers added to the enjoyment. Kitchen is available for you to cook and use the fridge and they also provide you with a drawer where you can store your stuff. The hosts Madoka san and Takeo san, were so kind and supportive throughout. I loved that they do parties, picnics and karaoke together with the volunteers and it really made my stay enjoyable. I wish I could've stayed longer, it was a fantastic experience 🥰

I strongly recommend the guest house. My experience was very fun and the atmosphere is very good. Madoka, the person in charge of the place is a very loving and attentive person. I'm going to miss her a lot. Many former volunteers return because they enjoy being there. The tasks are simple and the schedules are respected. It is well located, near Tennoji Station that brings you closer to the entire city of Osaka, one hour from Kyoto and 45 minutes from Kobe. I recommend becoming friends with the staff and sharing meals and outings!

The hostel is well equipped, work hours are respected, and it's a great place to volunteer in Japan, especially since it's easy to travel from Osaka to other destinations. The work is simple, and we often finish early depending on the number of volunteers. The bosses host events where you learn to cook local dishes, and they even invited us to a baseball game. However, Takeo sometimes threatens to fire people for trivial reasons like forgetting to clean a glass, without considering that we're far from home. More consideration is needed.

I had a very good time at the guest house. The work was quite easy and we usually finished within the three hours. The location of the hostel is great and you can reach everything fast either by train or with one of the three bikes provided by the hostel. The hosts were very friendly and spent some nice evenings together with the staff.

This was a great experience! I made a lot of wonderful friends that I hope to see again in the future, and I am sad to leave. The management could be better about tolerating mistakes from volunteers, but they do provide events every once in a while and are typically kind otherwise. The hours and days off were exactly as stated, and the work is not too hard. Overall, I would recommend if you would like to visit Osaka and the surrounding areas.

I stayed for 2 months. The accommodation is pretty dirty and the management distant but the volunteer team was lovely. We had so much fun and I made so many good friends. However, one day, out of the blue, the owner and manager kicked me out for a minor mistake. I only had 3 hours to find someplace to sleep. Everything was done through messages, they didn't even talk to me or listened to what I had to say. Many people I had met told me it happened to previous volunteers too, and the owner would threaten to fire us after every minor mistake. All in all, I wouldn't recommend this place.
