I can only recommend this experience to anyone considering coming to the guest house! The residential area is lovely, close to Asakusa and many temples and shrines. The work is fair and there is no stress. Everyone is super kind and helpful and the atmosphere is very homely. I felt welcome from the first second and extended my stay more than once because of that. ありがとうございますGomez san, Kase san, Maki san and Chieko san and all volunteers/guests for this special and lovely time here in the guest house!!

My experience was really good, the entire work team is friendly and concerned about the volunteers, they make you feel in a pleasant environment. The work to be done is not complicated and does not require major effort, the work schedule is met. In addition, there are really entertaining activities that make you feel much more comfortable and in a familiar environment. I completely recommend this place, apart from the aforementioned, the location is favorable and allows you to get to know other sectors of the guest house without incurring large expenses.
