I really enjoyed my time with Hirin-san! I learnt a lot about Japanese culture and was able to experience it in a way you can't as a normal tourist. Hirin-san is a really happy person and makes you automatically feel happy too and she has good life lessons. The mural painting was great too. I am very grateful for having had this amazing experience!🌼🌺🌷🌻🌸🌹

Hiring san and susumu san were the friendliest and most welcoming hosts! The month that I spent in Kamigori was a true cultural immersion, and I can't thank the farm enough for giving me the opportunity to experience so many different wonderful activities! I am really going to miss the very beautiful Kamigori, and all the kind people I met there, and not to mention Hiring sans incredibly delicious food! :)

I had the best time at the farm. Kamigori is a wonderful little town where I was fortunate enough to spend my last month in.You're provided a bike to go in and out of town, and biking was probably my favorite part, as the scenery is so beautiful. I would often just go and bike for the whole afternoon, just getting lost in the views! I also got to experience many cultural activities! The restaurant work is very calm, the place is beautiful and I liked chatting to the customers whenever I could! Hirin and Suzumu were very kind to welcome me in their home and I'm beyond grateful to them!

This experience was one of the highlights of my travels. It truly felt like being part of local life instead of just watching from the outside. Thanks to Hirin, we got to experience things like kendo, wadaiko, and calligraphy, which made me appreciate the culture even more.
Because of her, I met so many wonderful people with the kindest hearts. Some moments like biking home after kendo almost felt like you existed in a parallel universe.
Hirin is truly inspiring, and I would recommend this experience to anyone who is open-minded, curious about the culture and extroverted.

My experience in Kamigori has been amazing. Hirin-san always makes sure volunteers get involved in the culture as long as they respect the social norms and japanese manners and she really goes out of her way to make this experience the best for those who show respect and a positive attitude. I would love to come back one day! Thank you for everything

My time in Kamigori was good. I had the opportunity to immerse myself with local Japanese culture and do all sorts of activities that were really enjoyable. My host Hirin provided a lot of facilities, and made incredible food. That being said I had the bad luck of being the only volunteer during my stay so it did got pretty lonely for me personally. I told Hirin if I could leave a week earlier, to which she accepted. From that moment she made derogatory comments about me a couple times which made me feel quite uneasy. Still, I am grateful for my time there, and the opportunity I was given.
