I spent two weeks at Yoshinaga-san's farm, during the tomato picking season. I had never done any kind of farmstay before — and I honestly couldn't have picked a better place. Most of my work was picking tomatoes and tending to the plants, but I also had the opportunity to participate to other steps of the selling process. Yoshinaga-san was precise in his instructions, and always ready to answer my questions or tell a story. It was a short stay, but Yoshinaga-san and Yo-san made me feel incredibly welcome. I got to meet Motoyama residents, go to Kochi, and even attend a school festival!

Two weeks with Emma. They were very happy and helpful.
Her international knowledge from her background and her study of the Japanese language were wonderful and a great inspiration to all of us at the farm.
She says she is shy, but she is very friendly and a challenger. She is also a wonderful guest she cares about others and never forgets to smile.
We highly recommend Emma.
Thank you Emma. Your friends and family are always welcome to our farm.
Yoshinaga.

The working place is located in the middle of the farm, surrounded by an amazing nature with mountains and rivers. After spending the most days of my journey in big cities, such as Osaka or Tokyo, this place was perfect to slow down. I really enjoyed my work. It was quite easy and I still had a lot of free time. Yoshinaga-san was so caring and kind! Whenever I needed help, he was there. He made this a very special experience, that I can recommend from all my heart to other travellers!

I was amazed at her physical strength. Darleen is someone you can entrust any task to. And she is a smart person with a high level of thinking about the environment.
On the other hand, Darleen also has a bit weak spot. So host, please stay close to her. Listen to her. And please share.
She highly recommends Darleen for hosts interested.
She is a trusted guest. I guarantee!

The best experience I could get as a first-time volunteer! I fell in love with the location, the nature of work, and my conversations with Yoshinaga-san and his amazing wife. Yoshinaga-san is an outstanding host and mentor, and I feel recharged and reinvented after this stay. The work was always exciting and meaningful and designed so that I'm well physically and mentally. It might be challenging to travel around since the connections are not so good, but Yoshinaga-san was always willing to help! Also, my Japanese has developed a lot! I'm grateful for this month and it's far beyond words!

What a lovely time we had.
I am grateful to have met her.
It was only four weeks, but we laughed and had fun.
Above all, I was happy to see her grow up.
It must have been born in her effort and slow time.
From now on, I want to watch over new dramas that are like family.

My 2 weeks here have been a wonderful learning experience. I learned a lot about agriculture, the types of crops and its characteristics. Yoshinaga-san was a very wise and kind man. He was like a father figure to me. He taught me a lot about business management and how he manages his business which enlightened me. The cultural exchange also has been interesting and deep. Work was mostly simple and easy-going but was never meaningless. I gained valuable skills from it. The location was surrounded by nature and had the best ice cream. Overall, a marvelous journey and would love to visit again!

The time I spent with him was quick.
His English is excellent and no problem in any country.
However, he has little experience, so please support him.
Kohei does not give up and strives to the end.
I highly recommend Kohei to hosts around the world.

Yoshinaga-san is not only an outstanding farmer but also a great host who put my needs and expectations high on his priority list. I will be forever grateful for the time I spent at the farm and can only hope that I get an opportunity to return again in the future.

I volunteered with Yoshinaga San's tomato farm in May 2021. It was remarkable experience. I helped with Tomato green house, some wood cutting and some general farming work. I experienced local life and the beautiful nature. I also helped with cooking as they are eager to learn. His wife, neighbors are so nice and kind and together we had nice even like outdoor cooking etc. Yoshinaga san is very kind and helped from the beginning . Explained everything clearly. Overall I can highly recommend for everyone to volunteer with Yoshinaga San's the farm. I wish him best of luck !- Dan
