Volunteer Programs in Okazaki, Japan

Travel to a beautiful, historic city in Japan where you’ll volunteer for 1 to 12 weeks together with participants from around the globe. Choose from a range of project areas - children, culture and education, and environmental sustainability - in Okazaki. Volunteers will have the chance to step back in time while working and exploring Okazaki, a town reminiscent of the Edo period when Japan was in a time of peace and international openness. The country is known for its traditional culture dating back thousands of years while also having a vibrant society that continuously modernizes alongside the rest of the world in technology, fashion, cuisine, and daily life. As a volunteer in Japan, you can choose between working with children in local educational settings, assisting a tea plantation throughout the entire tea-making process, or volunteering with a local artisan’s workshop to make drums, candies, and other handicrafts.
