  -----------------------------------------
  * I am accepting your offer of staying in my place in 2026. May - October are already full of people. So, if you're available after the November, please, message me.
  
  In addition, if you will get the translated driver's license, it's so useful in my place. I would ask you to drive the small truck.
  -----------------------------------------
  *It's still early to talk about 2027.
  Don't ask me to let you stay here in 2027 for now, please.
  
  -----------------------------------------
  And, you should check the transportation cost to come Tokushima prefecture (for example, Tokushima station.) before you message me.
  
  In addition, many of volunteers do cancelation to stay here in last minutes. I often look for the volunteers suddenly, if you're interested in my place, you should check my profile every week.
  -----------------------------------------
  
  .....okay.
  Finally, I can introduce myself..
  
  Hello! My name is Aki who lives in Awa city, Tokushima.
  I just enjoy the rural life in the beautiful nature. I have a big house, and the garden which has the many beehives. Since I can't manage those only myself anymore, I want to ask you to help me. If you help my life in the nature. It would be very exciting opportunity for you.
  
  I can't explain what I will ask you to do in my place on this profile, because it's gonna be super duper long description.
  So, if you feel something special on my profile. Please, try to message me at first.
  
  Just send me the sentence with the short self introduction and the available dates. I will give you my contact information, and then, I will explain what my place is like properly. You can decide that you will come here or won't after that.
  
  •If you're a vegan, please, don't contact me. I can't harmonize with you from the heart.
  I have invited many vegetarians in my host life. So I can tolerate they stay my place, but I don't want to invite the vegetarians who even don't accept the fish broth and meat broth. I haven't been feeling this type of people respect the Japanese food culture from the heart. Broth is the essence of Japanese food culture. In addition, as this is travel tip, you can manage your vegetarian life style somehow, but you have to give up to make the Japanese local friends from the heart.
  
  ・This is also the travel tip. Cash is VERY NECESSARY in Japan country side life. Many of supermarkets and restaurants don't accept the credit card. You should prepare the cash to stay over here.
  
  •I've heard that hosts and volunteers don't even have the opportunity to talk in some of other workaway places. But, In my place, host(me ) and volunteers live in same house.
  I invite two volunteers generally (a room per person)
  It means three people in my place including me.
  Maximum is three volunteers.
  However, there may be the situation that volunteer is only you.
  You can ask me easy how many volunteers are going to stay my place while you stay here.(I understand it’s important information for some people.)
  We share the same house and kitchen, any amenities together.
  And, we have the lunch together.
  If you don’t like this kind of circumstance, I don’t recommend you to stay here.
  
  •This place require the teamwork of two or three people. It means that to make the harmony to other members are first priority, but not showing your weird ego, unique philosophy, unique opinion, egocentric lifestyle. I saw volunteers make the bad atmosphere each other several times.
  Be nice to each other, and be thoughtful to each other, but Don't make the bad atmosphere in my place. It makes my delicious lunch meal turn to be bad taste!
  
  •I don't want to write the documents for you to getting some kind of tourist visa, so please don't ask me that.

  Intercambio cultural y oportunidades de aprendizaje

  You can learn how to manage the Japanese rural life, and take care of honey bees and gain insight to a Japanese lifestyle.
  
  
  I will provide 3 meals a day for you and prepare your bed. In the mornings and evenings, please prepare your own breakfast and supper with the ingredients provided. You are welcome to cook the other meals if you’re interested, but it’s not necessary. (And, I will never expect western peoples cooking is tasty!) I will try to accommodate your dietary needs but please keep in mind that I am working with a limited budget.
  
  
  I'll effort to let you enjoy staying here, please help me back as good as you can. This is ideal relationship between host and volunteer guests, I think.
  Please, relax. I’m not strict guy.
  Many volunteers say "it's no stress here"

  Algo más...

  There are good places for hiking and running nearby in the hills and within 2 hours you can get to Mt.Tsurugi and the Iya valley. I have some bicycles for your disposal.
  
  River Anabuki is close by and great for swimming, it’s 30 min away by car.
  
  My house is in between temples 9 and 10 of the 88 temple pilgrimage.
  
  My house is near to Kamojima station so you can go on a trip somewhere by train.
  
  Tokushima prefecture is in Shikoku island. If you want to come to my house, go to Tokushima station first (from Osaka it’s 3 hours by bus), then go to Kamojima station by train.
  
  I can easily pick you up and drop you off from Kamojima station.
  
  .... honestly, Shikoku island including Tokushima doesn't have many famous tourists spot.
  
  ...But, it's not just famous tourists spot.
  
  I know many HIDDEN STUNNING NATURE SPOT where tourists don't know.
  This is what you want to see in Japan travel, isn't it ?
  If you are nice to me, and you're interested in visiting nice spots, let's go together!
  
  I said that "my place is not recreation spot".
  But,
  if you're nice volunteer, I will try to provide you more valuable experience and memories than just recreation. I already feel the dept and appreciation to you, because you're gonna try to text me and help me.
  
  Thanks to read my long long long profile.
  日本人も遠慮なくメッセージしてね！
  
  You can proud your own sense yourself, because you are going to message me.
