Housing is allocated by local NGOs, not by Freepackers - the descriptions are there to give you an idea of the type of accommodation, as it is very likely that conditions will vary on site depending on the number of volunteers, weather conditions, availability, etc. Each volunteer will be accommodated according to the stated conditions, but it is possible that the accommodation may not match the description or images shown on this site word for word, for example, in the case of annexed housing, renovations, relocations, etc.
The accommodation is a shared residence. The house, located in the Koto-ku district, has 13 rooms: 6 double rooms and 7 dormitories accommodating 4 to 8 people each, depending on the size of the room. There are two common lounges with kitchens, 2 bathrooms (separated for men and women), 5 showers, 4 toilets, and a large rooftop terrace.
