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'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 the farm 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 the farm 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 the farm 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.

We volunteered with Yoshinaga-san for 1 week and had a great time. It was our first Worldpackers experience so we didn't know what to expect - Yoshinaga-san was a very generous host and was always very flexible. The work was varied and interesting and not too difficult! He taught us how to do each job clearly as well. Shikoku the farm beautiful island and if you love nature the farm the perfect place. The accommodation the farm simple but has all the luxuries you need. You can tell a lot of love has gone into designing it. We recommend!

Their 3 week trip to Japan. Thank you for coming to my farm for a week. It was their first time staying at a farm, so they must have been nervous.
But he did it without fear. That's wonderful.
They are two very friendly people. Neither of them was late for starting work. I think they are a serious couple.

I spent two weeks with Yoshinaga-san and we had intense activities in the field and connected with local people. I learned a lot about Wind Family's business model, as well as the host's history and way of thinking. The house the farm in the middle of the mountains and the weather was a little cold. I recommend taking coats during autumn and winter! I just suggest some improvements to the bathroom and shower facilities, but you will have great time at Motoyama city.

I had about two weeks at Yoshinaga-san's place and it was really nice time. I got to do and see a bit of his farming life, the nature around the small city where he lives and just in generel get to live the countryside life. The time spent on Work tasks were fair and the job itself I found interesting. Yoshinaga was funny to hang out with and he has a nice perspective on life and nature. I can only recommend this to other people!

Pauli is a wonderful adult who not only loves traveling, but also respects the culture and history of each place. (I kind of laugh that he can't eat onions... haha)
Although it was only two weeks, we had very meaningful and deep interactions. I wanted to continue contacting him. thank you.またね！！

Staying at Green Home was an unforgettable experience, Yoshinaga-san is an incredible host that cares a lot about me, he is a very kind and interesting person. We had fun exploring all the rivers sides, swimming and chatting! I had the chance to go to Yasakoi and Motoyama festivals! It's hard to say everything that we did, we shared so many special experiences. Motoyama is full of nature, it's more beautiful than I expected. I also had dinner with a local family and made some friends! The work was easy and stress free. It was very sad to say goodbye, Yoshinaga-san became really special to me

Joana and our summer memories are indescribable. We respected each other and enjoyed every day like children of nature, chatting, cooperating, and sometimes discussing and resolving disagreements. It's a wonderful relationship. I think this is true cultural exchange. Of course she has common sense and is a wonderful adult. It's sad to part, but I hope we can ride the wind like dandelions and meet again someday. Overall a perfect guest.ありがとう！！

My stay was amazing. Masato is a kind and thoughtful person. I was havesting tomato's the time I was there 3-4 hours a day, 5 days a week. I can get really hot In summer. But we had air condition and made enought breaks where we could chat. The work is easy explained I think everybody can do this. It's a small city surrounded by natur. There are mountains and rivers it's so beautiful. If you are a nature person you will love this place. I could also meet some locals, we did some activities together and I am thankfull that they invited me to be with them. I felt at home so far away.

Svenja came during the high season on our farm. It was a busy day. She was never late and is a reliable guest. Outside of work, we enjoyed playing and chatting.

She has a quiet nature, but never forgets to smile brightly. In the end, our relationship became like a family. Saying goodbye made me very sad for me. If we meet again one day,...
A big recommendation to all our hosts around the world.
