Fue nuestra primera experiencia como voluntarios y no puede haber sido mejor. Estamos agradecidos con Yoko - San y su familia por habernos recibido con tanta amabilidad y confianza. Las varias tareas que hicimos fueron agradables y muy interesantes de realizar, Yoko-San siempre estuvo bien predispuesta para indicarnos o darnos una mano con lo que necesitáramos. La comida que preparaban era excelente y fue una hermosa experiencia haber compartido tantos momentos con ellos. Nos llevamos buenos recuerdos jugando con los niños! Gracias por todo a Yoko-San y su familia!

A memorable and cherished experience staying with an amazing and lovely family in the Japanese countryside. They were very kind, helpful and respectful. The task were plentiful and rewarding. The children were full of energy and very inquisitive. Thank you Yoko-san and Ohara-san we appreciate you letting us stay with you.

We are very grateful for our week here! The family were welcoming and ensured we never went without anything, and provided home-cooked meals that allowed us to try lots of new things, whilst also taking into account what we liked! We had a great time with the children, and enjoyed bonding over Pokemon. The tasks were varied, such as collecting chestnuts, planting vegetables and weeding; we worked hard, but it was rewarding! We even got to enjoy an outing with the family on the weekend, which was fun! We definitely recommend for a truly authentic experience. ありがとうございます!!

I spent two weeks with Yoko san and her family in Fukuroi. I was looking for a short getaway to nature, and got what exactly what I wanted. The work depends on the season, but the tasks are very clear and you can take your own time completing them. The kids are full of energy and fun to play with, and I especially enjoyed the delicious home cooked meals by Oharu san and Yoko san. I can recommend this experience for those who are looking to experience what it's like to live in rural Japan. ありがとうございます！！

I've just spent a lovely week with this wonderful family. I was given a list of tasks that needed to be done for the week and then was able to execute them at my own pace which I really liked. Some tasks were collecting bamboo shoots, stacking firewood, weeding in the garden etc. All were fun and rewarding. The house is in a beautiful area of the country with tea and rice fields all over, a great location for nice walks. The home cooked japanese food I received everyday was delicious! The family was welcoming and the kids were hilarious. Btw I hope Gin-chan enjoyed her ice cream bday cake!!

I had a wonderful stay with this kind and welcoming family in a peaceful, rural part of Japan. The forest surroundings were beautiful, the food was amazing every day, and the work — especially bamboo shooting and gardening — was both rewarding and therapeutic. I never felt pressured, and I truly enjoyed learning about their culture while sharing mine. I also got fitter from the tasks, which I appreciated. I'd love to return and highly recommend this experience to anyone who enjoys nature, quiet, and meaningful work.

We spent a week with an incredible Japanese family, involving us in their traditional routine. They were very kind and attentive to us, we never lacked anything, for which we are very grateful. The tasks they assigned us were fun and easy, such as gardening, so we connected with nature. Their 3 children are very affectionate, full of energy, curious and we loved spending time with them.

I spent 10 really great days with Yoko-san and her family. You're welcomed into the family immediately and quickly become part of their daily routine - helping out with various odds and ends. Most of my time was spent outside doing garden work as well as playing with the 3 sweet kids. Usually you will be given tasks in the morning before they leaves for daycare and work and then you choose your own breaktimes depending on your needs. They are very forthcoming so I definitely recommend this workaway to others. Thanks Yoko-san, Oharu-san, Renji-san, Yuzu-san and Gin-chan🙏

We spent a wonderful week at Yoko-san's, we participated in the life of the house while discovering a multitude of activities offered by Yoko-san. We were warmly welcomed by the family. The tasks requested were mainly gardening and house maintenance. The region was magnificent and finding ourselves in the countryside did us a lot of good! Thank you very much to this beautiful family for these two wonderful weeks.

We thank you so much for time you spent with us.
Yuzu cried a lot at that night we said good bye each other.
Now all kids ask us, where are Lea san and Pedro san and
which city and country you are travelling to:)
Stay safe and bon voyage!

We got to stay in a lovely traditional Japanese home separate from the family, so we had our own space to relax. We had family dinner together where we got to authentic Japanese foods and try new things. We worked on the garden, house and played with the kids. It was a 20 minute walk to the nearest convenient store and a further 10 minutes to the grocery store, so nothing was too far away. Yoko san and Oharu san are very involved in their community and invited us along to events such as dancing lessons in preparation for an up coming festival and social Badminton. We really valued our stay!
