  Description

  The non-profit organisation we run provides support for young people to become independent, including those who are not attending school (developmentally disabled children) and those who have withdrawn from school. If you are interested in supporting the independence of children, young people and people with disabilities, we will be able to provide you with a wide range of information.
  
  The atmosphere is heart-warming and homely, and we are sincerely grateful to the many woofers who attended last year's event. Our place is full of enriching experiences, such as relaxing in a place to stay, growing natural & organic pesticide-free vegetables, working in the fields and chopping wood. In addition, excellent food is waiting for you, such as handmade o-hagi (rice cakes), chestnut bean paste, sweet potatoes and bread!
  
  We can confidently recommend this as a great way to explore the region. Nara Prefecture is the region with the most World Heritage Sites! Todaiji Temple, Nara Park, Kasuga Taisha Shrine, Horyuji Temple, Yoshinoyama and Yakushiji Temple are all within an hour's train ride. Furthermore, access to Osaka and Kyoto is also convenient, taking only about an hour by car or train. Enjoy enjoyable sightseeing during your holidays!
  
  Our families, both adults and children, are talkative and look forward to many talks with a variety of workawayers.
  Notice. Our organisation is a non-profit organisation and we provide assistance with the overall schedule in mind. Once we have agreed to accept you, we will make sure that the schedule is well organised. Therefore, if you decide to come, we ask that you do not cancel suddenly. Of course, if it is unavoidable, we will accommodate you, so please let us know.
  
  In addition, we require that foreign nationals have at least a beginner's level of Japanese.
  
  Furthermore, if you have any concerns, physical or mental problems or disabilities that may limit some of our activities, we would appreciate it if you could let us know in advance. We will do our best to accommodate your situation.
  
  We are in our 14th year of hosting and have been active in organisations for more than 30 years. We have had the pleasure of many contacts and enjoyable exchanges. We hope to continue to have a variety of enjoyable experiences with the people we have had the pleasure of meeting! If you are interested, please feel free to send us a message!

  Help

  We would like you to be a supporter of children and young people's independence support (it takes time for the children to get used to it), so we ask for a long stay. The usual work is basically aimed at the independence of young people (the goal is to earn one's own living) After-school day care service, so farm work and work experience (sock processing, posting, Japanese sweets shop, etc.) Light work at a place (auction, flea market preparation, handmade food processing, chocolaterie help (January), etc.) Employment support cafe is closed. Currently, we are doing after-school day care, consultation support, and continued employment support type B. Currently, it is very difficult to accept people due to the influence of COVID-19, and the Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare has very strict checks on day care facilities for people with disabilities. People who can be accepted: No fever (37.5 degrees or higher) within 14 days, no cold symptoms, and no close contact with COVID-19 infected people Not accepted: People who are currently infected with COVID-19 or suspected of being infected We conduct online interviews as a precaution.
