  Descrição

  Hi everyone!
  
  We truly appreciate you taking the time to visit our page!
  
  Grow rice with us using natural farming methods in the quiet, nature-rich rice fields of the Japanese countryside.
  The rice I grow is for my own consumption.
  
  We grow rice for self-sufficiency,planting it by hand the traditional way.
  The rice fields are just a few minutes walk from my house.
  
  Hand planting takes place from late May to early June. In early and late July, the grass around the rice plants is cut by hand using a sickle.
  
  In November, we harvest the rice by cutting it with sickles and then dry it in the sun.
  
  At first, the work may feel challenging, but as you get used to it little by little, it becomes almost meditative—eventually feeling faster, smoother, and even enjoyable.
  
  From January to March, during the winter months, we prepare the rice fields. Specifically, we dig irrigation channels with shovels and level the ground to eliminate height differences.
  We also sometimes create ridges in the vegetable fields.
  These tasks require a lot of physical strength.
  
  We teach Japanese agriculture in harmony with the natural environment and provide meals and lodging.
  
  We enjoy sharing meals and cultural exchanges with our volunteers. Living under the same roof and eating together, we welcome you as part of our family and value spending enjoyable time together.
  
  Our lifestyle is very simple:
  “Wake up, eat, work, take a shower (or bath), eat, and sleep.”
  
  We live in the countryside, where there are no convenience stores or supermarkets nearby—only nature.
  However, it is not deep in the mountains but rather a comfortable rural environment.
  
  Around us, you can find rice fields, vegetable gardens, satoyama woodlands, shrines, the sound of rivers, birdsong, and insects—an authentic Japanese countryside landscape.
  
  A short bicycle ride will take you to a large park with a small waterfall and pond, and on clear days you can see Mt. Fuji from the hiking trails.
  
  Through volunteering here, you will sweat, refresh yourself in nature, and feel both body and mind detoxed and revitalized.
  
  We're especially happy to welcome people with any of these skills or passions:
  
  ・We also warmly welcome anyone with design and building skills. We’re hoping to have a chicken coop and a shed for storing farming tools built in our garden. (We will provide the materials.)
  
  If you possess the above skills, please feel free to reach out, even if the calendar indicates unavailability.
  
  We accept volunteers only from the age of 25and older.
  
  🌱 Natural Farming
  
  We practice natural farming.
  It is not only a way to grow food, but also a way of life.
  
  Instead of focusing on efficiency or mass production, we put life and nature first.
  
  Humans and vegetables are both part of nature, sharing the same life force.
  Working in our natural farm is not just about learning farming skills — it’s an experience that can change how you live and see the world.
  
  Here, we hope you can join us and feel what it means to live in harmony with nature.
  
  Thanks.

  Oportunidades de intercâmbio cultural e aprendizado

  There are many living creatures there.
  Hand planting is an ancient Japanese method that not many farmers practice, making it a valuable experience. The rice field is 990m2 in size. We are looking for people who are confident in their physical strength. Just over one mountain you'll find natural hot springs, and a short drive will take you to waterfalls, hiking trails, and parks.
