Those Western women who do volunteer work in Japan find it very rewarding. Voluntary work in Japan opens up new opportunities for meeting people (Japanese and foreign) and brings a sense of caring and community to an otherwise work- and money-dominated lifestyle. Western women say that they also welcome the opportunity to give something back to Japan, either to the foreign community or the Japanese. If you do not want to commit to a volunteer schedule, watch out for one-off events where the organisers are looking for people who want to get involved.
