Help us offer a comfortable stay and cultural exchange in the heart of Osaka

I stayed with this host in Osaka for a while and had a good experience. The place is simple but comfortable, and it has everything you need. Osaka itself is amazing, with so much to see and do once you're off shift. The work is easy to manage: straightforward tasks that help keep everything running smoothly, without being stressful. It's not the most unique setup, but it's a great option if you're looking for a place to stay while exploring the city and lending a hand. Plus, it's a nice opportunity to meet people from all over the world and share experiences.

I stayed at the hostel for about a month with my partner. The manager even provided us with a privat room. The work was fine and I could engage in a lot of conversations with people from all over the world. . I can really recommend this experience if you want to see Kobe, Kyoto, Nara, etc. You only have to work 3 days a week, so you have plenty of time to visit all those cities

It was my first WP experience and I highly recommend it ! the hostel Showa was a very nice place to live in, I will definitely come back. Very cosy, warm and full of wonderful people. The atmosphere is really unique, I met people every day from everywhere. I'm not the social kind at first, but I got used to it pretty quickly and easily. You still have time to visit the surroundings on your days off. I had time for a full 4 day trip to Tokyo ! The manager is okay with switching shifts however you prefer with the other volunteers. Thank you Shu, Kenji and my new friends at the hostel :)

I stayed at the hostel Showa for a month and had a very nice time! I met people from all around the world. Thank you to the kind locals who helped me practice Japanese and for their conversations and tips around Osaka. Shu-san always helped if I had questions and the other volunteers were super nice too. I will miss it all. The hostel itself is located very close to two major subway lines, a 24h grocery store, and Shinsekai. Because of the flexibility of the work schedule, I got to see a lot of Osaka! The shifts were more than manageable because of staff overlap and speedy communication.

The hostel really does feel like a home! The staff cultivates such a close relationship with its guest that many stay long term here. They're all so quick to incorporate you into their family as well! I stayed at the Abeno branch and had so much fun working with steve and kenji. They are both so knowledgeable both in general and about Osaka! As far as work goes, there's a good balance between the long shifts and your days off, but even hanging around the house is fun if you are outgoing and interested in talking to all the guests passing through.

My Friend and I got stationed at the hostel abeno. The Manager Steve was very nice and carring. He explained our Task easy to understand and with patience. Kenji was very supportiv and made the hours feel not so long with his warm presence. Everybody accepted us with open arms. Very warm and relaxing place. We didn't had much to do with Shu but he was always up for a talk. Would recommend 👍

I spent 1 month here and it was a lovely experience! The work is simple - bed making and cleaning around the hostel. 3 different shifts: 8am-3pm, 12-8pm or 4-11pm. 8 hour shifts sound badddd but trust me they're fine. Once you finish the tasks, you just chill in the common area with friends and can do whatever as long as you're in the hostel/only away for a short time. Location is in a poorer area of Osaka but it's really interesting seeing a more raw side of Japan that you don't see on social media! Shu is a kind manager and Kenji is lovely too. He works very hard! Overall I recommend :)

I had a wonderful time here for more than a month, it was a very meaningful stop for me. The other employees here were very kind and I would like to thank Shu. This is a social hostel so it is usually loud so it can be hard to find a quiet area for yourself, other than that if you like a social hostel then this is the place for you. I liked this place, I send my best wishes.
