Welcome to our family's 130-year-old traditional kayabuki (thatched-roof) farmhouse near the breathtaking Lake Tazawa in Akita, Tohoku region. We're a young family who works remotely, grows our own vegetables, and enjoys the peaceful rhythm of countryside life. As a volunteer, you'll experience authentic Japanese culture by sharing everyday family life, connecting with our welcoming local community, and enjoying the beauty of all four seasons.

Five stars don't feel like enough! Moe and Yuki are the kindest and most welcoming hosts, and their little daughter Sui is simply adorable. They truly went above and beyond to include me in their lives, from local events to everyday moments, and gave me a genuine taste of the local community. The household tasks were very manageable, the farmhouse is such a peaceful, beautiful place to stay, and Yuki's cooking with fresh vegetables from their garden is incredible! This was truly my best experience in Japan and I will treasure the memories forever. Thank you so much for everything ๐
