Program Details

We are renovating two houses with beautiful garden – ONIWA (near Aoyama Station) and Kozakura (near Fuki Station) – to open as guesthouses and community spaces.
Each area has its own charm: ONIWA is close to shops and restaurants, while Kozakura is surrounded by rice fields and closer to the beach area, perfect for countryside walks.
You will live in one of these houses while helping with renovation and guesthouse tasks.
I'm the right person to go for lunch with if you are food lover!

If you’d like to stay longer than the current availability allows, just let me know and we can look for possible arrangements. Please also understand that we need a little time to get to know each other to make sure the collaboration feels right for everyone :)
