If simply helping out with gardening etc we would do room plus ¥900/hour worked in cafe or gardening. But that alone is not enough. We want to collaborate with a visual artist. For someone bringing a skill such as videographer, visual artist or accomplished social media manipulator. ( quality instagram or short video clips) we will pay more, much more. We are situated in stunning nature, on a swimmable stream, acres of fields and flower, mountains for hiking, natural rock wall if you do such. All within 10 minute walk of Cafe. Cafe is 70 minutes to Shibuya on normal train. (500 yen). We are a multinational group Taiwanese, French, Filipino, Japanese, American, British, Australia and others. We have been part of the organic scene for 30 years in Japan. Working can be both hard and fun at same time. Our location is stunning and we are supportive of each other. We built (as in hammer and saw) our 3 story wooden barn which houses our cafe, import company and home. We work with farmers and producers on all 5 continents. We like to share reasons and processes. We like to learn from the people we meet. Please visit us.

We want to meet and work with a visual artist/videographer. But we have to agree to paying a minimum for basic gardening or cafe to get listed. We will pay ¥900/hour. But we want to pay much more in exchange for the following. We want to work together to produced content, documenting our cafe. We will pay more for this and help you build a portfolio. We have operated a cafe for 19 years. We would like to photograph and more importantly create videos about our farming (garlic and peanuts), our cafe foods and drinks, our events (market days, cooking classes, garlic farming) and other things.

On site in a three story wooden building we built ourselves. AC, bathroom, kitchen, bedding. A multi room share apartment and owners often share dinner time together. This only works if you are into teamwork
We are 5 minutes to station of suburban train to Tokyo in 70 minutes. A 1300 year old Korean founded temple is down the street. Great environment. Nature abounds.
