Shikoku-Island This is not a tourist spot. a quiet place.

Some of the past reviews are old, so I am updating them as much as possible to avoid any trouble, so please read my profile to the end.

This is not a tourist destination. It is a small rural village where you can relax.

Please do not let anyone into your room without my permission. People who play with their cell phones all day, people who hate bugs, people who do not enjoy my broken English conversations, racists. People who like to party. If you do not enjoy nature, this is not for you.

I run an organic farm. We mainly grow eggs, tomatoes, and delicious vegetables. I am always thinking about a good lifestyle and world peace.

This area has many old and historic rice terraces, and is a mountainous area surrounded by beautiful rivers. It is the best environment for nature lovers.

The work involves general farm work such as taking care of animals, harvesting and shipping vegetables, washing vegetables, planting seedlings, weeding, pruning, etc.

Join me in various tasks in the countryside. The work is easy, safe, and you can learn a lot.

Work starts around 8am. You work a maximum of 25 hours a week.

After work, we will have lunch together for free. Afternoons are free. You have two days off per week.

Rice will be provided to you for free. We will also give you vegetables and eggs from the field. Please purchase the rest of the ingredients yourself (there is a supermarket and a convenience store nearby).

Please cook your own breakfast and dinner.

The volunteer house is next to my office. The volunteer house is a small, handmade house converted from a greenhouse. It has a separate bedroom, kitchen, washing machine, hot water shower, compost toilet, wood stove, Wi-Fi, and bicycles for free.

If you want to know more about me and rural life, you can also stay in my house. (Traditional Japanese house)

In my free time, I walk along the river or in the mountains, read books, listen to music or instruments, swim, fish, kayak, and hike. If you have time, please come and enjoy your hobby with me!

I want to slowly build a relationship with you, so I can only invite one person.

Sometimes you will have the opportunity to interact with local people. Experience our culture.

Perhaps this experience cannot be achieved on a short trip.

We have a friendly and relaxed approach, giving you enough time and energy to enjoy the surrounding environment. In return for your cooperation, we will provide you with good service and a great experience. The nature of Motoyama is waiting for you.

Let's make a page of memories in the countryside of Shikoku.

* Sorry, we do not accept halal, vegan, or vegetarian (these are difficult to accommodate in the countryside)).

If you don't meet the above criteria, short stay, couple, food, etc., but still want to come here, please send me a passionate message. Move my heart. I will invite you.

Hello. I am Yoshinaga. (Born in 1969. Divorced) My farm is about 2ha. I work alone. My English is beginner level, but I will do my best to communicate with you. Time flows quietly and slowly here with the sun. There is a lot of nature, and you become a part of nature. Hot days, cold days, rainy days, the sounds of insects and birds, etc. If you want to live away from the city, you'll like it here. My religion is Shinto. I respect nature and eat anything. I want a peaceful world. I only welcome guests who understand and respect each other. And I hate being an article for a web content creator.

This was my first farmstay and I could not have asked for a better host than Yoshinaga-san! The tasks were different each day, we went on a hike together and went to the ocean. I hope to come back sometime :) ありがとう

I had a very enjoyable time with Lena. I want hosts all over the world to have this experience. I recommend accepting her request when she asks you to. I hope to meet her again someday. Thank you.

I’ve had a fulfilling time in my 2 weeks here in Motoyama town. We did a mix of farming work and carpentry, I learnt many new skills and tasks were always varied. I kept myself busy by thinking of little projects and improvements to the Green home. Yoshinaga san also offered activities during leisure time- kayaking, camping, cycling, picnic, swimming by river etc.
Facilities were basic but cosy and I enjoyed the mountain air. Host is a masterful hyakushō

Yoshinaga-San was my first world packer experience and I’m soooooo glad he was!! He exceeded all my expectations. Yoginaga-San supported me whenever I needed help or advice for the rest of my travels in Japan. Work flew by and he was always up for adventures and chats afterwards. He showed me some amazing places that really made my trip feel special. I can’t recommend the Wind Family enough!!

Jade did a great job in the heat. Full marks, of course. It was a short time, but it felt like we were old friends. Jade's character captured my heart completely. At first glance, the positive aspects are emphasized, but her sensitivity, unseen sadness, love, and courage to keep moving forward. She is a very human woman. I'm sure spending time with her and talking to her will make you feel happy. I recommend her to everyone. Thank you, Jade!

I spent a week at Yoshinaga-san’s place. In the mornings I would help out with the tomatoes and farming, and after that we did a lot of activities(hiking, kayaking, swimming in the river). Yoshinaga-san is a very good , active and social person and I was lucky to meet him. We talked about many topics and shared our cultures with each other. I learnt a lot about sustainability and farming, about Japanese culture, religion, food and people. I will never forget this experience and will always be grateful to Yoshinaga-san for his hospitality!

What a coincidence! I was interested in Georgia when I received Natali's request. And she came to our farm. Her physical strength, intelligence, flexibility, kindness, precision... I was attracted to her beauty of heart more than anything. I am really glad that I invited her. I am very grateful. And I look forward to her future.ありがとう!!

The beauty of the place was eye and heart-catching, and this would not have been possible without Yoshinaga-san hospitality, eagerness and enthusiasm in introducing me to Motoyama’s culture and environment. Due to his approachable and understanding nature, I was not afraid to consult him whenever I have questions. Work given was also diverse and not demanding. The Green Home is surrounded by nature’s calling and located in the heart of Motoyama making it both convenient and tranquil. I will always look back at this journey with fondness and gratitude. Highly recommended!

She is an amazing activist. She explained everything to me in simple terms and understood almost everything about her work. It's really amazing.
All hosts should definitely invite her if she requests it. We both had a wonderful time. Thank you.
See you again someday.
