We had a fantastic time with Satoshi-San and really enjoyed working with him around the house and on the peach orchard. We would love to come back sometime

The experience was incredible, I felt really greatful for staying at such beautiful place with nature and with a lot of culture. At first you may think is a small town but you can da lot around it. The work is not so hard and the host is super nice and welcoming, but you have your own space and timing. I would go again. I recommend doing a day trip to kofu. (Keep in mind, is a small town and activities are a bit limited )

Satoshi and his family were over the top kind and welcoming. Their homes are stunning. I loved helping prep their field to become rice paddies. They're flexible and understanding. If you're looking for a quiet place to explore independently, this is the spot for you! I hope to come back :)

This was a great experience. Satoshi and his family are excellent hosts. They're both extremely kind and accommodating. If you're looking for a quiet time with yourself, this opportunity is perfect. I spent the last week of my 2 month long trip here, and it was a perfect change of pace, where the amount of work per day was minimal and well communicated, and free time was plentiful. If you're into the outdoors and sports you will likely enjoy your stay. Take advantage of the bike which Satoshi offers you for free, there's plenty to see and do if you take the time to explore.

If you are looking for a place where you can help with a project that is close to your heart, enjoy the passing of time, discuss Japanese culture and be surrounded by mountains, you have come to the right place!
The warm welcome from the hosts makes you feel right at home. I will cherish many memories of all the moments shared here. Thank you again.

I had a short but very comfortable stay. It was very relaxed with a lot of free time, as there wasn't much to help with. The area is very nice and calm so it's nice to ride around on the bike. Satoshi is a great host, very kind and always makes sure you are comfortable.

This experience was truly amazing, we had the greatest time staying at the Peachhouse, working with Satoshi and Ayako. The work was really interesting and always well explained, while we also enjoyed taking together a lot, learning a lot about Japan and it's people and lifestyle. We would really recommend doing this experience, it is in a lovely calm area where there is still a lot to explore and great hosts that always made sure we had everything we need. Definitely would recommend it!

Satoshi and Ayoko are perfect hosts - they are kind, welcoming and incredibly accommodating to your needs. The accommodation is great and each day it was clear about tasks and timings. The work is fair and we worked as a team to complete tasks. They also catered the experience to my specific interests which was super useful. Arigato gozaimasu Satoshi san and Ayoko san :)

Thank you so much for your warm message! We truly enjoyed having you with us. Your help with preparing the plaster materials, installing the window coverings and the new ceiling was incredibly helpful. Your architectural perspective made a huge difference and we feel lucky to have you as part of the team.
We’re also happy you enjoyed exploring the local area. You’re always welcome here! Arigato gozaimashita!

What an incredible experience in the Minami Alps! Satoshi-san is so kind, flexible, and accommodating. On a clear day, you can see Mt. Fuji from the Peach House before/after a day's work! Truly such a beautiful area with such a kind community. During my stay, I helped prepare materials for the upcoming peach and plum harvest and I also harvested wheat from the Rice House farm. I was able to get hands on experience on the farm practice my Japanese skills with Satoshi and his family. I would ABSOLUTELY stay again if I have the opportunity.

Carissa, thank you so much for staying with us!
We really appreciated your help in preparing the boxes for the peach shipment. Thanks to your support, we are able to begin the harvest smoothly now. And thank you for your careful and dedicated work for harvesting the wheat and threshing.
Wishing you all the best for the rest of your stay in Japan. I hope we’ll have the chance to meet again someday!
