Kazu is a really great guy! I had a wonderful experience at the farm. Unfortunately, I only stayed for a short time — I wish I could have stayed longer. It was a completely different experience from my usual life, and I totally recommend it. I made lots of friends from all over the world, and the food was amazing. Thank you, Kazusan!

Kasu-san is the most friendliest and charismatic host a volunteer can ask for. He told us history of Yamanashi and all about the plants and tree in the surround fields and farms. Great dorm you live in and plenty of fresh Fruit to go around.

The job is physically demanding, which gave me a deeper appreciation for Japanese fruits! During my month-long stay, I spent half my time weed-whacking and the other half working in the vineyard. You get three meals on the four working days, but breakfast and dinner are a bit small, so you'll want extra food. Buses are infrequent, so plan accordingly. Dorm rules are strict, but offer a glimpse into Japanese culture. I'm so grateful for the Japanese part-time workers and international volunteers I met here—they truly made my experience so special! Yamanashi is such a beautiful prefecture <3

Hi Nikki,
Thanks for your coming to help us. Hopefully, you learned some of Japanese culture. I am still wondering why you brought so many suitcases. Next time, you can make use of coin locker service in cities before you come over. Otherwise, those suitcases occupy lots of the spaces out of our dorm.

I enjoyed my experience at the farm! It was physically demanding but rewarding nonetheless. The tasks and hours were as briefed (from 8.20am - 4.30pm with a 1 hr break) and 3 days off (days off are usually weds and the weekend, but dependent on the weather). The tasks are physically strenuous, so this is a caveat for those who suffer from previous physical injuries and can't stand for long, etc. I was lucky to be here during peach season, we got to enjoy the peaches and my work was mostly at the vineyard so i got to interact with the local japanese staff ❤️
