Cultural exchange and learning opportunities

Japanese culture being just so different from anywhere else, guests will be immediately immersed in it. Guests can experience mountain life in a rural japanese village. Lots of outdoors, onsen, food and more to discover!

Help

We have 2 homeschooling kids so the main help will be taking care of kids. We would be appreciated someone who can teach music, art, languages(especially English and French), cooking, craft and so on. Also will appreciate guests who can share our lifestyle and rhythm. We particularly care about children and are spending lots of time with them. We love to learn new things!
Depending on the time of the year, we would need help in our vegetable garden, rice field, general house maintenance, cooking...
We think that could be a great opportunity for our children to have company at home and we could use the help to get ourselves some free time.
