The Experience

We are engaged in agriculture in the countryside. In addition to farming, we just started a hostel for travelers. So we are looking for someone to help us with the agricultural work and help for hostel. Although it's a rural area in Yamanashi Prefecture without many shops around, it offers a beautiful landscape where you can enjoy a clear view of Mount Fuji.

I had such an amazing time at the farm! Baba, Miyuki, and Katsu are not only wonderful hosts (and great chefs!) but also make you feel like part of their family. The area is so peaceful, surrounded by local houses and fields, and I loved being able to hop on a bike to explore during my free time. Plus, you can see Mt. Fuji right from the house! The work itself was really enjoyable; you mostly do farm tasks. So if you like working in nature, the farm is the best place!

We loved the 2 weeks we spent in the guesthouse. the work was very light, flexible and variable which made it interesting everyday, there were 2 days in which we could not do much because it rained and Miyuki was very comprehensive about that. Everything else apart from de job was wonderful, the food baba made was delicious, the vibes, the hospitality, the views, we really loved it as a first volunteering experience. We were able to spend time with guests, doing english learning activities with kids and enjoying bbq. I would 100% recommend this experience and i hope to return in the future
