The Experience

Experience everyday life in a peaceful village in Okayama Prefecture, surrounded by nature, bamboo forests, and a 100-year-old traditional Japanese house. Your main role will be spending time with two children, playing with them and practicing simple English through fun and natural interactions. With light daily help of around 3 hours, this is a great opportunity for volunteers seeking family life and the calm atmosphere of the Japanese count.
