Staying with Miyuki, Maachan, Baba, and Katsu was a lovely experience! They welcomed us with open arms and gave us the chance to experience a different side of Japanese life. We enjoyed learning about their vineyards, taking part in rural activities, and, above all, hearing about the meaningful social work they do for their community. Another highlight was the food, every meal was absolutely delicious! It's a great opportunity for anyone who wants to learn, connect with local people, and experience life in the countryside.

It was our first Worldpackers experience, and it was delightful! Miyuki, Katsu, Baba, and Maachan welcomed us into their home and made us feel very comfortable. We loved learning about their vineyards, grapes, and projects, discovering local life, and sharing their delicious food. We truly admire their work for the community and are grateful for their kindness and everything they taught us. We highly recommend this meaningful cultural exchange, especially to those who enjoy rural work!

I had such a wonderful time here! Everybody were incredibly kind and welcoming, and I really loved the warm and friendly atmosphere. The farm work was such a great experience. I learned a lot, every day was different, and it was really rewarding to see what we accomplished.
I especially enjoyed sharing meals and conversations together. The food was amazing, and I loved getting to know the people and experiencing Japan in such an authentic way. The guesthouse is also very clean and comfortable, and you get to meet and spend time with other people there as well. Overall, a truly special place!

I highly recommend this volunteering experience! 🇯🇵🍇 Miyuki, Katsu and Baba welcomed me with open arms and made me feel at home. I had a truly authentic Japanese experience, living in a traditional Japanese house, sharing homemade meals, experiencing the local culture and daily life, and enjoying an incredible view of Mount Fuji! 🗻 I spent most days working with grapes and absolutely loved it. I'm very grateful for this experience and their kindness. Keep in mind that harvest days can be very physically demanding and the property is quite far from commercial areas.

If you are looking for an authetic experience lost in the misty mountains of japan , I couldn't recommend this place more!
This beautiful family took care of me , fed me some of the best meals I've had, made me feel safe and gave me purpose. The work was truly rewarding and each time a surprise . I learned so much about SDG and I think katsu-san's goals are admirable. I wish the world was filled with kind-hearted people like him .
So Miyuki-san , Katsu-san , Baba and machan thank you for making me fall in love with japan all over again!
I will always remember our ride to the ghibli museum!

Our first Worldpackers experience and we really enjoyed it! We had a great time with our host, the work was varied, and the food was amazing. Everyone in the village was super friendly and welcoming. We also really liked what our host is doing for the local community — taking care of abandoned farmland, growing vegetables for people who need them, and focusing on sustainability. It was great to be part of it and learn more about the local way of life. Overall, a really nice experience with lots of great memories! ❤️

Miyuki, Kacchan, Baba and maachan were a lovely family! We stayed in the height of summer but, while it was hot, the work felt so rewarding and we absolutely loved our time here! We tended to fields, sowed seeds, helped with the neighbour's peaches, as well as other jobs like helping with the construction of a nagashi somen slide! It was a busy period on the farm which made our stay very fun :) We worked in the morning and spent the day cycling and relaxing. We also went to a second-hand shop, fireworks, and a guided meditation! Thank you so much for a wonderful 12 days!

Our stay at the farm was an unforgettable experience. From the moment we arrived, Miyuki, Kat, Baba, and Ma-chan were super hospitable and made us feel right at home. We were amazed by their commitment to the whole the farm community, helping Kat donate fruits and vegetables to people in need within the community. It was a stay full of unique experiences, like visiting a Buddhist temple to help out and meditate, wearing traditional clothing, and meeting people from all over Japan. Thank you for everything, hope to see you all soon!

It was a wonderful, enriching experience. We learned to live immersed in Japanese culture: we shared meals and great moments, and we had the chance to work in the fields and with the land. I highly recommend it.
