Kuromame_ann
Tamba is quiet area where you can enjoy nature, view and cozy house avoiding traffic of people, cars and trains of big city!
Also, offers numerous temples and shrines, castle ruins, hikes, festivals, and waterfall
Travelers who traveled long time and cities come to be fond of my place and feel rested
Outside of work, I sometimes do BBQ, local tours, hikes, river and waterfalls and attending to events with volunteers
Also, this place can be a good base to travel Kansai region where Kyoto, Osaka, Nara, Kobe and Wakayama are.
On your day-offs, that is 3 days per week, you could take trip to Kyoto for sightseeing and Osaka for partying!
My policy is fairness and for volunteers to have fun, I know you dont come here just to help but experience and interactions!
Free arrival pick-up from JR Iso station
I traveled and did volunteer work so that I have a good understanding of being traveler and volunteer position. Therefore, I can be as flexible as I can be and I generally think people come from outside of this country is guest for this country so I want them to experience the most and I’d love to help them with that!

About the experience in: Tamba, Japan
Germany
I had a great time at Kuromame Ann :-)
The work was super easy and quickly done, it almost felt like being on vacation rather doing a volunteering lol. Even tho the area is quite rural you can explore around and go to the other small villages nearby, temples & shrines, hiking trails, cafes etc.
If you want a chill time for yourself and need to get out of a big city I really recommend this place! :)

Such a wonderful experience. The place is so beautiful and peaceful, all surrounded by nature. It was my first time ever volunteering so I was kinda scares but the host made me feel so welcomed and comfortable. Fuga would do anything he could to take us see the shrines, the city, the rural places... He would make sure we were feeling comfortable in there, plus the work was easy, with a good schedule and he would let us enjoy visiting Tamba as much as we could. Definitely I will be doing more volunteering from now on!

This was an amazing place and I believe it was even more what it is by the host Fuga! He was always concerned for the volunteers, respected the time agreed in and went out of his way to make sure we explored the area and learned more about the Japanese culture and ways. He took us around without asking for any contribution to fuel for the car and this was was his own time. I really appreciated every he tries to do to everybody inclusive and respected. Its peaceful tranquil, the mountains rivers and forests captivating. It's a place you can hear yourself and connect with nature! Thanks Fuga🌻

Fuga is an amazing host: funny, kind, caring and always willing to listen. He knows all the best places around and would take us to beautiful spots whenever he could. The work itself is very simple and Fuga is also very flexible with the schedule, which gives you the opportunity to explore other parts of Japan if you wish. Tamba is a truly beautiful place, it was, by far, one of the most unforgettable experiences of my life. A huge thank you to Fuga, who played such a big part in making my time there so special. Honestly, there's only one thing I'm thinking about now: going back ! :)
