Informationen
Beschreibung
We're a Japanese-American family living in rural Tambasasayama, Hyogo Prefecture, doing permaculture and growing an organic veggie garden and orchard, plus keeping a few sheep. We're also homeschooling our 4 kids and run a small alternative school 3 days a week. Our house is nestled in the mountains so we've got some lovely hiking trails nearby, and beautiful view of the countryside.

We love playing music together, doing pottery (we have a small kiln to fire pieces), and doing woodworking. I'm also an amateur spinner using the wool from our sheep. Pretty much anything DIY, we are interested in, and also any skills or interests you can share with us we would love to learn about! Also, we have a long-term Japanese volunteer staying with us who is an excellent cook and makes marvelous sourdough bread and also grows willow to weave baskets. We can also support anyone learning Japanese. Nearby we also have opportunities to experience tea ceremony, zen meditation, and yoga, to name a few.

Arbeit
Volunteers who enjoy working outside, playing with kids, cooking, handcrafts and especially music would be a good fit for our place. Volunteers can expect to help out at our home (not our school) with gardening, property maintenance, caring for animals, permaculture projects, house renovation, tidying, and cooking together.

We can help teach Japanese or English. My daughter is nearly fluent in Korean, and I am interested in improving my French and Spanish.Unterkunft
During the warmer seasons (April-October) we have volunteers stay in a separate house with its own kitchen and bath which is a 3 minute walk from our house. November to March we have volunteers stay together at our house where it's nice and warm. Volunteers have their own room (in the case that there is more than one volunteer, you will be asked to share the room). We provide all meals, but ask that volunteers help with preparation on a rotation basis.
Was noch ...
On days off, volunteers can enjoy hiking or riding their bike to the town center, about 45 minutes ride away, where there are some interesting shops, temples, and castle ruins. We welcome volunteers to join us on excursions to the river, hot springs, restaurants or to local festivals.
