The Experience

Hello. This is Jiro from Sky Tea House, a traditional mountain village guesthouse. I once traveled the world for 2000 days, and after many adventures, I finally arrived here in the mountains of Yame. After that, I met my wife Chai, who is from the Philippines, and now we live together with our son Ryunosuke and cat Kojiro.

I volunteered in the sky tea house for a week. ngl that was one of the best week in my life. 🥹 i'm started to miss Kojiro (the orange cute fluffy cate that loves everyone 🐈) and Jiro was the best host. his life journey was amazing. we cooked together, catching sunsets on the big rocks over the rice fields, jumping on the trampoline, having the best conversations while drinking some plum wines and chu hi, making teas like matcha latte/ hojicha latte everyday, watching stars, watching movies under the sky every night. everyone should experience this once in their life. i'll def come back ❤️

My experience at the farm Teahouse was wonderful. From the moment I arrived, the natural surroundings were breathtaking. I learned a lot about the farm and rice processes, and we spent some incredible days enjoying delicious meals, playing board games, and sharing travel stories. Jiro and Jeremy's hospitality was outstanding; thank you for letting me experience such amazing days—I would love to come back! I highly recommend this place to any traveler who loves nature.

My time at Jiro's place was truly memorable! The tasks were short and easy, which gave me time to explore and socialise with the other volunteers. I felt at home the whole time I was there and will definitely return! See you again Jiro!

I volunteered for 2 weeks at skytea house and I had the most incredible two weeks! Not only is the location absolutely beautiful but the people that come here are just amazing. Jiro has so much knowledge and passion for tea farming and it was so fun to help him on his farms. The work was very light, mainly preparing rooms, cleaning up after meals and just general housekeeping. This allowed for plenty of free time to go on lovely walks, tea pick or go to small trips to local towns. Thankyou Jiro and Koji the cat for an unforgettable volunteer experience, I hope to return some day soon :) !
