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.

Genuinely blown away for a first world packers experience, I couldn't recommend the farm enough! The family is so welcoming and fun to be around, their home is beautiful, the work engaging and the food is out of this world. Truly felt like our home away from home, such a special place we will have to return to. If you are reading this, apply!!!!

Miyuki-San, Katsu-San and Baba was my first ever volunteer host and will always have a special place in my heart, they're so lovely, living a simple live and yet it's fulfilling live. They teach me how simple live can also be a life goal, and now my life goal is having a simple life in the country side, just like them. They also teach me how to live sustainable, by growing everything that we eat in our garden and using an energy as efficient as possible. They also teach me how truly is japanese hard work really are. I respect them so much and adore them at the same time. Arigatou! 🙇🏽😁

Instantly felt at home, was nervous because it was our first time volunteering but it turns out better than expected! Miyuki, Katsu, Baba, and Maachan all made sure we were well-accommodated with cozy private room and access to the common areas. Superb food and cozy place, breathtaking scenery, and they introduced us to locals who were so lovely and nice. Turns out such a beautiful life can exist! I hope I can come back one day 🥹✨
