I stayed at the farm for 10 days, and I really enjoyed it. Oki-san is a great guy and an amazing chef. We had some good laughs at the dinner table. The staff working at the farm are also really friendly. If you are new to Worldpackers, it's a good place to start your Worldpackers journey since the job is easy and fair.

I really liked my time here. First of all, Oki-san is an amazing cook, so I had delicious food every single day. It's also really nice work and a very nice environment and location. Absolutely loved my time here and highly recommend.

Oki olive farm, I stayed for two weeks and it was a pleasure! Oki san is a very friendly person, I enjoyed having many conversations with him, even funny! during meals (and what meals… delicious) great opportunity to learn about Japanese culture and culinary culture. not just a place but you can live like a local. the work to be done involved farm and carpentry, never repetitive and flexible. I think what real volunteering should be like. thank you so much for these moments. see you soon!

If you like the outdoors and varied physical work, then this is definitely the place for you! The scenery is beautiful and I felt very welcomed to the farm, where I have had many good experiences. Recommended if you want to experience more local life in Japan.
