Winter & Spring Projects on Our Farm
Would you like to help us create something meaningful on our farm?
This winter and spring, we have some exciting new projects planned at our family farm. We are looking for enthusiastic volunteers who would enjoy working together with us and sharing these experiences.
There are two main projects:
1. Building a Chicken Coop
We are planning to build a chicken coop by the end of March 2027, ready for spring.
• Design & Planning
We have a garden in front of our house, and we would love someone to help us design a chicken coop that fits nicely into the space.
• Construction
We are looking for people who can join us around March 2027 to help with carrying timber, cutting wood, assembling materials, and building the chicken coop together.
2. Winter Farm Work & Traditional Rural Skills
Alongside the chicken coop project, there will be various outdoor activities during the winter and spring.
* Preparing vegetable beds for the next growing season.
* Chopping, stacking, and carrying firewood for our wood-burning stove.
* Cutting and carrying local bamboo to use as supports for our crops.
Who We Are Looking For
We would love to meet people who:
* Have practical skills or knowledge, such as rope work.
* Enjoy physical work and can work with a smile.
* Are interested in sustainable living and enjoy learning new things.
* Would enjoy spending time at a warm and welcoming family-run farm.
We also have a 7-year-old son, so we welcome people who enjoy playing with children and spending time with them.
We hope you will have the chance to experience Japanese rural life and share everyday moments with our family.
Flexible Dates
Our dates are flexible, and we will arrange the winter and spring projects around our volunteers’ schedules.
If you are planning to visit Japan between this winter and spring 2027, please feel free to contact us!
How to Apply
If you are interested in joining us, we would love to hear from you.
When you send us a message, please tell us:
1. When you would like to stay.
2. Your skills and experience, and what you would particularly like to help with.
3. A little about yourselves and any experience you have with physical or outdoor work.
We look forward to hearing from couples and pairs of friends who enjoy working together, learning new things, and experiencing the peaceful countryside of Japan with us! -

Arbeit
We usually host couples or two friends traveling together. If you have
experience with building, carpentry or design, you are also welcome to come on your own.
We are looking for people aged 25 or over who enjoy working outdoors and don’t mind getting their hands dirty.
Some of the work can be physically demanding, so it would be great if you are happy to give it a try and keep a positive attitude.
We are interested in natural farming, permaculture and living in a more sustainable way. If you are interested in these things too, we will have plenty to share.
We also have a 7-year-old son. If you like children and enjoy playing with them, that’s a big plus! -

Unterkunft
Our house was built six years ago. It’s a modern wooden house with a wood-burning stove.
Your room is a semi-private loft on the second floor. You get there by climbing a ladder. There are two windows, and you can see the mountains and fields from there.
The loft is open to the living room downstairs, so there is no wall or ceiling separating the two spaces. We have bamboo blinds that you can close when you want some privacy. -
Was noch ...
There is a fairly large park called Rengejiike Park, with a big pond, around the centre of Fujieda. There are also some hiking trails, and on a clear day you can see Mount Fuji.
Inside the park, there is a small restaurant serving vegetarian lunches on weekends, as well as a few little shops. There are also some cafés near the park.
Just a few minutes by bicycle from our house, there is a small local shop selling traditional Japanese sweets called manju. About 10 minutes further by bike, you can find a local shop selling vegetables grown in the area, bread and other things.
There is a hot spring over the mountain. It is a little far to walk, but takes about 17 minutes by car.
The nearest supermarket is about 10 minutes away by car, and the convenience store is about the same distance.
I can also show you some local places run by my friends, including a soba restaurant and a small restaurant serving tempura. -
