  Description

  There is a big wall next my restaurant. There’s no pictures.
  I feel that this fence is drab.
  So I want someone who can paint a big picture on the wall.
  But this fence is made of vinyl chloride. I think spray art is better than paint art.
  So I need to ask someone who can do spray art.
  
  The other project is making terrace behind my restaurant.
  It means back yard.

  There are three people in my family, my mother, my daughter and me.
  I have a dog inside and a cat outside.
  I am a restaurant owner and an English instructor.
  I run a Turkish restaurant next to my house.
  
  My house is a detached house, and the volunteer room is on the first floor and separate.
  My cat "Kuromi" sometimes comes, so it would be helpful if you could get along with him.
  The toilet is outside, but I think you can relax and use it as it feels like a private toilet.
  There is an air conditioner in the room, but I ask volunteers to avoid using it as much as possible. This is because it is quite cool even in the summer, so a fan alone is enough to beat the heat.
  The volunteers who came last year did not use the air conditioner at all. However, we have an air conditioner for customers at the store, so if it's hot, you can cool down when you come in the restaurant.
  
  I don't usually make breakfast. You need to buy ingredients to prepare your own breakfast.
  Coffee and tea are available, so please bring your own.
  We eat dinner together, but if you want to eat in your own room, that's fine.
  I will provide dinner, but please prepare your own food and drinks.
  I am the owner of Turkish Cuisine, but I am not Muslim, so the food is not Halal.
  
  Below are the conditions and requests we ask of volunteers.
  Be a non-smoker and an animal lover.
  It's okay to be a nomad, but it's a problem if you lock yourself in your room and work.
  Only those who are aware that they are staying at someone else's home will be willing to come forward and tell us if they behave as if they are using the property instead of a hotel.
  Please remember to express your gratitude and words of gratitude.
  We say things like "thank you" and "please" all the time. If you can't communicate, please don't come.
  Greetings are also important. Be sure to say hello, especially in the morning.
  Many volunteers have come so far, but sadly there were some who didn't even say "thank you" after a long drive.
  It would be a problem for such people to stay at home, so I ask them to leave.
  When you do something, if I don't give you an explanation, please be sure to ask us.
  Please don't do it yourself.
  Please bring your daily necessities.
  We also do not lend towels.
  You can do your laundry at my place.
  Please do not use the air conditioner as much as possible.
  Please communicate as much as possible as a family.
  Please let me know when you go out.

  Please feel free to text me if there is anything else you have some question for me.

  Cultural exchange and learning opportunities

  They can know real Japanese country side life.
  There are sometimes traditional festivals called Matsuri here. Possible to learn Japanese agriculture.
  
  Beppu is close to where I live, so I can take them there for sightseeing.
  Also, there are many festivals in the summer. I think you can take them to festivals and experience traditional Japanese events.
  You can also get information about experiences that travelers may not know about and take them with you.
  However, since I run a restaurant, I am often busy on the weekends and don't have much time.
  In that case, you can use my road bike to go to nearby places like Yabakei.
  However, there is a weight limit for road bikes up to 80kg, so it will be difficult for people over that weight.
  However, there are several buses a day, so you can take them to Nakatsu and go to Kitakyushu and nearby towns.

  Accommodation

  The room type that I provide volunteers above.
  My hometown is landed a country side in Fukuoka. It's surrounded mountains and there are rice fields around my house.
  It's really quiet in the night. A lot of stars in the sky at night.
  
  I have a road bike. Volunteers can go sightsee by themselves.

  What else ...

  My place is much far from Fukuoka city. Please don't think that I am living in Fukuoka city.
  You can search the words below "Oita Nakatsu".Then you can find Nakatsu city. It is close to my hometown.
