  Beschreibung

  Hi! We’re Maki and Michael, a Japanese-Aussie couple living in Suginosawa, a small village at the base of Mt. Myoko. We were initially drawn to this area for the snow, but aside from snowboarding, autumn has become our favorite time to be here and experience everything the region has to offer outside of ski season. We have two properties here, one where we live and another that operates as a guest house during winter. This guest house is currently available to accommodate Workaway volunteers.
  
  As is typical of rural Japanese villages, Suginosawa has an aging population. Many of the small farm plots which were not so long ago productive are now neglected due to elderly or absent owners. We are making efforts to maintain some of these plots in our immediate neighbourhood. We also have ongoing renovations at our private residence. Help is welcome from volunteers to assist in these endeavors.
  
  Please note that we do not offer paid work or work in our guesthouse, nor do we have availability to accommodate workaway volunteers during the ski season.
