Nestled in the heart of Kanazawa, our hostels offer a welcoming environment for travellers from around the world. We are currently seeking volunteers to join our team, providing valuable support in exchange for free accommodation. This is an opportunity to experience life in Japan while contributing to the daily running of our hostels.
Experience Life in Japan: Tasks & Roles
Volunteers will be responsible for assisting with cleaning and reception duties, ensuring that guests enjoy a comfortable and pleasant stay. Good communication skills are appreciated, as interacting with visitors is an essential part of the role. A minimum commitment of two weeks is required, with volunteers receiving two days off each week.
Experience Life in Japan: Living & Getting There
Accommodation is provided, with volunteers sometimes having a private room, while at other times sharing with others. The hostels are conveniently located just a five-minute walk from Kanazawa Station, making it easy to explore the city and its cultural attractions. Meals are not regularly included, but lunch or dinner is occasionally provided.
Experience Life in Japan: What Else
This volunteer opportunity is ideal for those who enjoy meeting new people and immersing themselves in a lively, international environment. Whether you’re looking to gain experience in hospitality, improve your language skills, or simply enjoy an extended stay in Kanazawa, we welcome you to be part of our team.
