The Experience

We both have houses in Osaka and Tanba, even not running real busineses anymore since covid. As trying to keep busy on different projects, and 24 hours and two hands are not meeting my goals, i would appreciate a male help for non qualified jobs, such as demolishing old walls, cleaning, farming, some basic building... The deal would be to give you full independence and to let you organize the things as you decide. Please contact me.

Antoine and his wife Kaoru were incredible hosts, making me feel welcome and cared for. They provided home cooked meals when they were in the city, and left an assortment of noodles for when they were away. They also gave me tips and advice for how to get around the city and to get the most of my time there. The work was heavy and tiring, because it was home renovation, but Antoine was always helpful to accommodate any limitation I had. There were a couple of setbacks, but overall it was a great experience that I will not forget!
