This experience was truly amazing, we had the greatest time staying at the Peachhouse, working with Satoshi and Ayako. The work was really interesting and always well explained, while we also enjoyed taking together a lot, learning a lot about Japan and it's people and lifestyle. We would really recommend doing this experience, it is in a lovely calm area where there is still a lot to explore and great hosts that always made sure we had everything we need. Definitely would recommend it!

Satoshi and Ayoko are perfect hosts - they are kind, welcoming and incredibly accommodating to your needs. The accommodation is great and each day it was clear about tasks and timings. The work is fair and we worked as a team to complete tasks. They also catered the experience to my specific interests which was super useful. Arigato gozaimasu Satoshi san and Ayoko san :)

Thank you so much for your warm message! We truly enjoyed having you with us. Your help with preparing the plaster materials, installing the window coverings and the new ceiling was incredibly helpful. Your architectural perspective made a huge difference and we feel lucky to have you as part of the team.

We’re also happy you enjoyed exploring the local area. You’re always welcome here! Arigato gozaimashita!

What an incredible experience in the Minami Alps! Satoshi-san is so kind, flexible, and accommodating. On a clear day, you can see Mt. Fuji from the Peach House before/after a day's work! Truly such a beautiful area with such a kind community. During my stay, I helped prepare materials for the upcoming peach and plum harvest and I also harvested wheat from the Rice House farm. I was able to get hands on experience on the farm practice my Japanese skills with Satoshi and his family. I would ABSOLUTELY stay again if I have the opportunity.

Carissa, thank you so much for staying with us!
We really appreciated your help in preparing the boxes for the peach shipment. Thanks to your support, we are able to begin the harvest smoothly now. And thank you for your careful and dedicated work for harvesting the wheat and threshing.
Wishing you all the best for the rest of your stay in Japan. I hope we’ll have the chance to meet again someday!

I really liked this WorldPackers experience! Just to clarify what the experience is about, you'll stay at a house in Minami-Alps known as “Peach House. On the days that you have to work, Mon - Fri from 10 am - about 3 pm unless it's raining, Satoshi will pick you up from Peach House then drive you to a neighboring town where you'll work at “the farm” - an Airbnb type of house that has a small farm behind it. Satoshi's goal is to get people from the city to stay here & learn about farming. I helped with landscaping & did some farming myself! And Satoshi & his family are really nice people! :)

Thank you so much for these past three weeks. Going to pick up all those wood chips together has become such a great memory.
The approach area looks completely transformed thanks to your help.　You were also a huge help with threshing the wheat.

Wishing you all the best on your journey. Hope our paths cross again someday!

From weeding the field and tidying up the exterior, to painting the shed, your help was invaluable. Please also send our thanks to your girlfriend—her support with cleaning and preparing packing materials for the peaches was a big help. You were both so kind, cheerful, and thoughtful in your work. You’re always welcome back anytime!

I thoroughly enjoyed my experience at Peach Farm with Satoshi. Every day was different and I was introduced to all aspects of the project. Satoshi's gratitude is unparalleled and he was extremely appreciative of my work. I look forward to seeing the project grow and develop.

Satoshi has created a very unique experience and he and his family are dedicated to this amazing project in this rural community. Satoshi managed to keep the work interesting by making sure every day was different. He gives you a lot of autonomy to complete various tasks as you see fit, but is always happy to give guidance as and when necessary. I wouldn't have said I was ever a "handy" person but Satoshi put his trust in me and I managed to surprise myself. This opportunity definitely presents a quieter way of life, but occasionally solitude and serenity is the order of the day!

Satoshi and Ayako were extremely welcoming and accomodating and it was a pleasure getting to know them. Providing all that was needed and more for a comfortable stay at Peach House. They gave an opportunity to learn new skills in renovating a traditional house for their wonderful project. The work was fair and enjoyable. I would highly recommend this stay if you are looking for a nice relaxing place to slow down and recharge between travels, in the nice country side city of Minami Alps.

What a lovely stay in Minami Alps, and working with Satoshi! Learning about the project was very interesting, and I have real faith that it will help bring people from the city info closer connection with the countryside and encourage them to live there. Satoshi and his family are such wonderful hosts and made me very comfortable. The living space is very nicely located to make it around town and see the local area. The only feedback I have is that there really isn't (as of this writing) a usable shower on site.

I had a wonderful time here. Even though I only stayed for a short amount of time, I had the opportunity to explore quite a lot of different places. The mountains and the view of Mt. Fuji is really beautiful. The work was easy and fun and I had lots of free time. Satoshi and his family is really kind. I can recommend this stay for everyone who likes nature and wants to experience more of the Japanese countryside.
