Description
Help Us Build Our Small Vegetable Farm in Nasu (beds, hoop houses, irrigation)
We’re a Japanese–Indian couple in the peaceful countryside of Nasu, about two hours north of Tokyo. Our home sits in a serene rice-farming village with lush fields and mountain views—the seasons paint the landscape in the most beautiful ways. Life here is slower and intentional, and we’re growing a small, diverse vegetable garden that needs extra hands.
What We’re Looking For
Volunteers who are excited to work on the farm, especially:
Building vegetable beds (measuring, marking, shaping, mulching, composting)
Setting up hoop houses/low tunnels (hoops, plastic/insect netting, anchoring, ventilation)
Installing/maintaining simple irrigation (hoses, connectors, timers, leak checks)
Soil prep, weeding, planting, transplanting, staking/trellising
Harvesting and basic post-harvest handling (wash, sort, store)
Light carpentry and tool care (drills, drivers, hand saws—experience is a plus)
No pro experience required—just reliability, a good attitude, and willingness to learn. If you’ve done gardening, farming, landscaping, or DIY projects, that’s a bonus.
Typical Rhythm
We usually plan work around the weather—cooler mornings and late afternoons are best, with a rest in the middle of the day. There’s flexibility to explore between work blocks. We’ll set a weekly plan together so you know what’s coming up.
What To Expect
Physical work: lifting soil/compost, kneeling, bending; we’ll show safe techniques
All tools and materials provided
Please bring sturdy shoes/boots, sun hat, work clothes you don’t mind getting dirty, and a water bottle
Clear instructions and hands-on demos for each task
About the Dogs (Household, Not the Job)
We share our home with two loving dogs, Mili & Milo (6–7 years old). They’re friendly and full of personality. Dog care is not your main responsibility; you may just encounter them around the house and during breaks. (They’re great morale officers.)
Location & Getting Around
We’re in a quiet rice-farming village, 15 minutes by car from the nearest train station
Car available for those with an international driver’s license
Bicycles available for local rides and errands
Shops and amenities are a 5-minute drive away
Why You’ll Love It Here
Peaceful countryside living with a meaningful, hands-on project
Learn practical skills: bed building, hoop house setup, soil health, and irrigation basics
Time to explore hot springs, forest walks, local cafes, and Nasu’s mountain scenery between sessions
We’ve had wonderful experiences with past volunteers and keep in touch—we value good communication and a friendly, respectful home If you enjoy building things with your hands, getting a little muddy, and watching a garden take shape day by day, we’d love to hear from you!
