    thank you for viewing here but we are currently all booked for the near future and not accepting / recieving help.
    Good luck
    *********
    hi, we are generally looking for help from couples . experienced / slightly older [?] OK. but If your profile and schedule fits ... single person is OK!

    at this time , when I`m not here we are looking for help with looking after kids [often weekends..] and gardening plenty of weeding. clearing, some digging etc...
    WHEN I`m here [Mark] I`ll often need help with construction jobs and maintanance..
    I [Mark] often have to go away with my work for at least a couple of weeks at a time..


    about us;
    My wife and I, plus 3 children live just 350m from Japan`s biggest lake [Lake Biwa]. it`s an amazing spot, great for swimming in the summer thru Autumn, beautiful mountains and skiing nearby in the winter with lots of countryside around but only 30 minutes by train to the centre of Kyoto! please check us out on a map.. between Horai and Shiga station.
