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

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 🥹✨

I'm so grateful for my time at the farm! Everyone is so kind and it felt like home. I really liked the work here. It was fun going around with Katchan and doing all sorts of tasks I never did before. The food was amazing! I would always find myself looking forward to dinner. It was fun to at the end of the day have a moment to eat with everyone. Ty for the amazing food Miyuki! It was always nice to visit Baba en Maa-chan. Despite my lack of Japanese, I enjoyed our conversations. Maa-chan is incredibly cute!🐱 Ty for the amazing experience! I'll miss you all and hope to visit again someday!❤️

My experience was, in a word: exceptional! This family is full of generosity and culture. You can really see that they want you to have a good experience and learn about their culture. I worked on the farm for an average of 3 hours a day. The view is incredible! I recommend it to anyone who wants to see real life in rural Japan. A great experience for me!
