    Description

    *Important Notice* We are not hosting in the winter time!!!
    We only have space in August for now...

    We are a french-japanese family with 2 girls (born in 2013 & 2014) living in the mountains of Japan. We are very much interested in living simply and in harmony with our surroundings. We are juggling between different jobs all through the year.
    In the summer time Antoine is an ootdoor guide and Hiromi is working at a cafe. We also run a bnb rental 5min away from where we live.

    We will be back in France for 3 months and are looking for house sitters. We need help with the vegetable garden as well as cooking and making preserves. We also need help around the 2 houses. We already have a French Workaway in charge for the 3 months and are looking for extra hands in August.

    We are expecting an average of 15h/week per person.
    Workawayers will be independent with food shopping!

    ☆Holding a valid International driving permit will be useful
    ☆Must be comfortable with manual tasks and the use of tools (grass cutter especially)
    ☆Especially welcoming people with DIY skills, gardening and cooking experience

    Echange culturel et opportunités d'apprendre

    Japanese culture being just so different from anywhere else, workawayers will be immediately immersed in it and can experience mountain life in a rural japanese town.

    The town we live in is a very popular ski resort in winter and great getaway for the city folks in the green season, to enjoy camping, hiking, lake swimming, bbq, MTB, the great outdoors, onsen, food and more to discover!
