Description
Hello!
We are a Japanese family living in the beautiful countryside of Nagasaki, Japan.
We live on a 6 acre farm property, so we want to make the best use of the space in a sustainable way so we can enjoy it with family and friends.
We are a relaxed family and look forward to welcoming new friends to our home! I can speak English, but even without strong English skills, my husband and kids also love interacting with workawayers!
Hope to see you soon,
Nozomi, Tetsu, Maruno, and Tsukino!
- We will start accepting people again from February 2025. We will start accepting messages about 2025 in December 2024. To help us keep organised, please do not message us too far in advance!

TYPES OF HELP & LEARNING
Since we want to get the best out of our space, if you have an idea of how you can help us that is different to what we describe below, please let us know! We are open to ideas.
In general, we would like help with our outdoor spaces including:
- Gardening
- Clearing the property
- Help develop and design new uses for our spaces (e.g. vegetable garden, playground, compost)
We have goats so may need some help with them.
We may need some help with basic house maintenance (e.g. oiling the deck).
Be a normal house member! (e.g. helping with the dishes, prepare yourself snacks/lunch if we aren't around to eat together)
We can provide any of the tools you need, we have wet weather gear, gloves, sunhats, etc.

You have the second floor to yourself, it is one large room with a desk overlooking the ocean and a western style bed on the other side.
We share the rest of the house, including kitchen, bathroom, and toilet.
Dinner is provided, we will eat together as a family. Food is provided for breakfast, snacks, and lunch, but you may need to make these meals yourself.
We take one workaway at a time, so you won't stay with a stranger. Couples, friends, or solo is okay.
What else ...
Minimum of one week stay, please!
Our house is in the countryside, about 50 minutes from the center of Nagasaki City. If you don't have a car, we will be happy to pick you up from the local bus stop in Nagaura and can give you some guidance on how best to get here!
We can drop you at the same bus stop if you want to go exploring on your day off too of course.
