The Experience

We run a CrossFit/Hyrox gym in a remote mountain region in Japan but also own 100 yuzu citrus trees. We haven't had time to harvest them since we opened our gym in 2022 but our neighbours have started to complain about the unpicked fruit falling into their land so this year we decided to use this platform to see if we can find people who are willing to help out with our harvest. Our gym is CrossFit Otoyo Strength (google it!), in Kochi Japan.

We had a great time at Violet's guest house/gym. Violet and her family is very friendly and welcoming. Cleaning the guest house is quickly done but you should be thorough. From time to time there were other things to do which were always easy to manage and fun (e.g. cutting plants, picking fruit). The town is really small but the surrounding nature is really beautiful and with a bike or hiking you can reach nice places. Two major highlights are the guest house classes and their dog Vader!

I really recommend this opportunity for if you like to be in the middle of the mountain with very scenic views. It's a very small village at a beautiful location! The work is really easy and relaxed. The accommodations are really good and clean. You have your own room! For me the highlights were the sport classes which are really good if you like to have a good workout, and Violet and her family are really caring and helpful. I really enjoyed getting to know them and working with them. Violet is really open and easy to talk to, which made the experience very enjoyable!
