Descripción
We live at the foot of Mt. Yotei in Niseko, Hokkaido.
We have three days off per week, so helpers can live in the house by themselves during those days.

Our members are me, my wife, three elementary school sisters, two dogs, and 4chickens.
IN niseko We generate electricity with solar power. We draw water for daily use from the river. We fetch drinking water from a spring.
We heat the bath with firewood.

in niseko Electricity is limited because it is generated by solar panels.
There is no hair dryer, so it can't be used.

A flashlight is required because it is dark at night.
The toilet is outside.
The environment is pretty wild, but is it okay?

The experience with Koichi was incredibly wild. Koichi left the city to live in the middle of nature, facing all the challenges that come with it. He built a house to live in, started a family, and created a beautiful life in the countryside.

It was an amazing opportunity to immerse myself in Japanese culture and help out with small tasks on his… read more

I stayed two wonderful weeks with Koichi and his family.
I'm really impress about their way of life. Koichi built himself and with some volunters a very great house. It's impressive how they make it works.
I help with building a green house, plant beens, storing firewood...
On my day off, they bring me to a hiking in Yotei mountain and they came… read more

We had a nice time staying at their farm. The parents were friendly and relaxed. Koichi is not a very serious and exact person. One culture clash was when they spoke to us based on our gender, which got annoying and tiring at the end of our stay. The nature is very pretty and lots of animal sounds. Every time anyone approached the house the dogs… read more would start barking uncontrollably and it is exhausting and confusing. Also they fed us every meal and always tried to arrange food for when we returned from to property. The breakfast is usually just cereal and white spongy bread with a small variation of jams and spreads; however they asked us if we needed more food variation. Eriko, the mother, cooks almost every meal and it was always yummy and usually Japanese and the food was always enough. I really appreciated that the property is far enough from the road so we didn't have to hear cars passing by. The toilet isn't outside, pe se, but what he means is that you can pee in nature since there isn't currently a toilet in the volunteer house. They were building a bathroom and kitchen in the volunteer’s house when we left. We can see the mountain from their property which was always sweet. They offered to drive us to nearby places like the Nieseko and Kutchan train station, the Makkari trailhead to climb Mt Yotei and a nearby Onsen. They also recommended places for us to go to and if it was too far we had to take the bus or hitchhike. The bus is not a very reliable transportation method. We learned the hard way that on some buses we had to reserve seats at least 2 hours ahead of time. We didn't know this piece of information… We left to Sapporo on a Monday and most things to do were closed, something that I feel they forgot to tell us. It can take between 2 and a half to 4 hours to get to Sapporo. It takes an hour and a half to walk to Niseko station, however there are places in between the property and the station, 12 minutes by car. The power in the volunteer house has to be activated and we can't really use it overnight since it is powered by solar panels. At some point it stopped working completely. The power in the main house however worked all the time. The internet was limited but turned on when needed. So we suggest you bring a power bank. Throughout our stay friends came over and we socialized and did stuff with them. At the end of our stay we went together with the family to a beach to go camping and do bbq. At the beach we met with other families (friends from Koichi) which was cool because we could interact with other Japanese and foreign people and learn more about their culture. Besides that there wasn't really a person to talk to. The children are kind but don't seem very interested in socializing. If you want to volunteer at the farm, be aware of the fact that you have to spend a lot of time by yourself. Luckily there was another volunteer with us the whole time we were there. All in all we had a nice time :)
