Details
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.
We hope that we can have fun and experience everyday life together with you.
My family lives with me (42), my wife (38), my son (5), a dog and 13chickens.

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, We use gas stoves in summer, but we usually cook with firewood stoves in winter.We prepare meals with passion for you and family. It can be simple depending on the season and the day's work. I will ask you to serve and dishwashing as a part of your life, not as a job. Let's have a pleasant meal together.
Breakfast is around 7:15.
Lunch is around 12:30.
Dinner is around 18:00.
As for the laundry, the laundry you need, such as your clothes, is basically washed by the washing machine once a morning with our clothes. Please participate in drying those laundry not as a job but as a part of your life.

There is a bus from Kanoya-city to Kimotsuki-cho Uchinoura where we live.
