Typically, there are no other volunteers, and we accept only one group of guests at a time. Rather than working on a project with a large group, this experience is ideal for those who want to spend time alone, connect with nature at their own pace, and enjoy a quiet stay in a countryside home.

・Meals are not provided. Please prepare your own. There are convenience stores and supermarkets nearby, and you can cook in the kitchen available at the accommodation.
