Help our guesthouse at a rich nature countryside / simple life

Kuromame an is a very charming guesthouse in Tamba, a city hidden away in the mountains. There's plenty of beautiful nature all around, with lots of local shrines, waterfalls, and hikes within just a short drive away. Fuga is an incredible host and a lot of fun to talk to one-on-one. He has a great sense of humor, is a very knowledgeable tour guide, and an *outstanding* chef. Big cities such as Kyoto, Osaka, and Kobe are only a couple hours away by train. Volunteers get 3 days off a week, so a mutli-day trip to the city is very doable. If you like the peace and quiet, I highly recommend it!

Volunteering at Kuromame was an amazing experience. It's the perfect place to wind down if you have been on the road for a while, you have plenty of time to relax due to work being easy and only a couple of hours a day. Fuga is a great host, very flexible and happy to accomodate your specific needs and travel plans. The area is truly beautiful with lots of opportunities to experience the Japanese countryside. From shrines and temples to mountains and forest walks, there is plenty to see, and all away from the crowds you encounter in other touristic hotspots. I can highly recommend Kuromame!

I had my first volunteer experience at Kuromame, and I'm deeply grateful I chose to do it there. Fuga is an amazing host—having been a volunteer himself, he truly understands what it feels like and ensures everyone feels safe and welcome. He's kind, energetic, and always smiling! The work is easy, with a great atmosphere and good vibes. If you're looking to disconnect and enjoy meaningful moments, I highly recommend volunteering here. Leaving was hard, but I'm sure I'll be back soon!

Fuga's place is an amazing experience. Work is easy and also fun with the music playing and the other volunteers. You have plenty of time to explore the surrounding area with many shrines, hikes and bridges. Time really flew by and I wish I could've stayed longer. But above all Fuga is an incredible host. He is a cheeky guy who understands what it means to be a volunteer. He is super nice and always takes care of the volunteers in the best way possible and goes above and beyond (plus he is also a great cook and musician). I really miss this place

I had a lovely time at Fuga's guesthouse in Kuromame and I would recommend it to anyone interested in Japan and guesthouse work. Fuga is young, fun to hang out with and a great cook! He also takes you on tours around the countryside and brings you to meet locals, which is always plus! As for the work, it's very manageable and you get 3 days off a week! If you enjoy the countryside, I strongly recommend contacting Fuga!

We had a wonderful time at Fuga's. It is truely the best worldpacker experience we've ever done. After one month and half at Fuga's in the beautiful Tamba, I cannot recommend you enough to apply for a volunteer there. Fuga's is an amazing host, he is compassionate, friendly, reaaally good chef and a great tour guide. The work is easy to learn, mainly beds, cleaning and DIY. There is A LOT to do around. You might have the chance to experience Japanese BBQ and meeting the cutie Hiyo-chan🥹. We are already missing the place and Fuga. It is definitely a place you'll want to come back.

If you want to get away from the busy cities, Tanba really offers a calm countryside place to stay in. Fuga was a super host, gave us tours and spended time together. I really felt myself at peace. Even if Tanba is a smaller place, there is still things to see and do! I really recommend this place.

My experience at Kuromame was amazing and would not hesitate to return. Fuga is a very attentive and approachable host, he made me feel at home from the very first moment. The tasks were as described on the website, easy and manageable, and the work environment was very pleasant. The location is quiet but with things to do and see, and there is plenty of free time to relax or work on personal projects. I have fond memories of both Fuga and the other volunteers and would definitely come back - highly recommended if you're looking for a Japanese countryside experience :)

My experience in Kuromame is something that'll stay with me for a long while. Volunteering in the countryside and spending time with Fuga and the other volunteers, I consider this as a pure blessing. It is amazing how sincere memories you can get in such short amount of time. Fuga is fun, kind and constructive host that encourages people to travel. If you consider the work as something you do for the place that you also spend time in, you'll see that, it is an easy work & even fun to do all together. For the rest, it is all about traveling and experiencing the country and wonderful Tamba!

Staying and working at Kuromame Ann was one of the best things I could have experienced this summer, especially as first time volunteering as well. Fuga is a very welcoming and amazing host,making sure that you get the most out of your stay and is always ready to answer whatever questions you got. The work is very manageable and enjoyable as you get to do it alongside with the other volunteers, and being in the countryside can really let you slow down and reconnect with the presence around you. I am extremely grateful for my experience here and Tamba has a very special place in my heart
