  • Description

    Description

    A house with a river in front of it at the foot of a five-minute drive to the sea.
    The old house is being renovated.

    We process and sell food but we don't ask for work related to business. There is no labor where wages are incurred.

    Organic farming, home-building, fishing, learning each other's language, playing with children, cooking, etc

    The scenery is good because the nature is rich and there are fields and mountains near the house. The people in the community are all nice people and talk a lot. The town is small and just right.

    My family lives with me (42), my wife (38), my son (5), a dog and 13chickens.

  • Accommodation

    Accommodation

    You can use a tatami room in a separate building (about 7 square meters) about a minute's walk from the main building as a bedroom. There is a washbasin and a toilet there. The bath is a firewood bath, so it's only once in the evening. We go into the river during the hot summer season. For meals, please prepare breakfast, lunch, and dinner with our family at the main building. Basically, please prepare meals with us and eat them with us. We use gas stoves in summer, but we usually cook with firewood stoves in winter.
