Descrição
We are looking for self-motivated individuals who can work independently without constant supervision. Unfortunately, we have often encountered people who are confident but unaware of their lack of skills, leaving us to redo their tasks and costing us valuable time and energy. If you take real initiative and responsibility, we would love to welcome you to our team.
Hello!
Hi! I’m Rie. I live with my husband and two kids in a small countryside town near Mt. Aso, Takachiho, and Tsuujun Bridge. It’s a peaceful spot with rivers to swim in, beautiful nature, and a bit of local history too.
We’re working on building a small community where kids and locals can reconnect with nature through farming, hiking, and simple living. I’d love your help with housework, light farm work, and sharing ideas for fixing up our traditional Japanese house.
It would also be great if you could chat in English with my kids, but they are quite busy, so it may just be for a short time during breakfast.
In your free time, you can relax, explore nature, or just enjoy the quiet countryside life.
I’d like to be honest—I prefer someone who works with care, energy, and a positive attitude. I don’t get along well with people who work too slowly or without thinking. I really appreciate people who manage their time well and try to do their best.
Also, I can’t host smokers because of my tobacco allergy, and please contact me only if you’re sure you’d like to stay.
You’ll stay in a shared room at our guesthouse. Please bring your own towels and toiletries, and handle your own meals when you’re off duty.
I usually welcome solo female travelers, but if you have carpentry or electrical skills, that’s a big plus! I’m looking forward to meeting someone who enjoys working and spending time together.
