Description
＊We are looking for a man to help us for about 2 weeks in late May/June . Sorry ladies, we are not accepting women at this time because DIY is hard work, and we are mainly looking for people who have done DIY before to help us with this project, as we need experience with DIY, and we would also love to hear from people who have experience working in the fields or taking care of animals.✳︎
We live in an old house in Miyota-machi, Nagano.
There is great nature nearby and Mt. Asama is very beautiful.
We are renovating an old house and experiencing a traditional lifestyle.
Miyota-machi is a neighboring town of Karuizawa in Nagano Prefecture.
It is a 3 hour train ride or 2.5 hour drive from Tokyo.
（日本人の方で旅をしながら、都会から離れての生活を体験してみたい方も大歓迎です！）
(Japanese people who want to travel and experience life away from the city are also welcome!)
We are a family of two.
As individual farmers, we grow our own food and help raise goats（other owners goats). We also renovate old houses with traditional materials.
We would like to give priority to accepting people who want to learn Japanese culture and language,
and who value the Japanese spirit. So, if you are interested, please contact us.
By living with us, you can experience Japanese culture and lifestyle.
✳︎We are currently receiving messages from a large number of people, so to avoid unfairness, we will give priority to those who reply quickly. thank you for understanding.✳︎
