Description
Hello!
We are a young Japanese Family that live in the beautiful countryside of Nagasaki, Japan
We are looking for help establishing our 5 acre mountainside property into a semi sustainable food forest, while also keeping the natural beauty of the countryside.
As well as wanting to grow lots more food, my husband and I love cooking and we'd enjoy teaching others dishes we enjoy here in Japan and also learn from our guests new cooking ideas!
We are a relaxed family and look forward to welcoming new friends to our home and exchanging language and culture!
Hope to see you soon!
Nozomi, Tetsu, Maruno and Tsukino
