There is always lots to do around the Guesthouse. We love volunteers that are pro active and not afraid to get their hands dirty. In the fields and garden there will be seeds to plant, vegetables to harvest and weeds to pull up. We live together and provide meals so there will also be general cleaning duties around the Guesthouse and help with cooking meals and cleaning after will be helpful and expected in addition to time on other projects

Chris and Naomi are fantastic hosts. They were generous in sharing their home and resources. The furfriends help too!
The volunteering routine is exactly as advertised and extra help is voluntary rather than forced. The work itself is engaging and hands-on—I loved learning about Japanese agriculture and cuisine, and even getting to operate some really interesting heavy machinery.

Naomi and Chris are great hosts, we couldn't ask for better hosts for our first volunteer experience! They were both patient and always gave us clear instructions. The tasks varied from weeding and fruit handpicking to planting and fixing the crops. For this reason we recommend bringing technical clothing and trekking shoes/ boots, even though Chris and Naomi will always lend you something if needed!
We spent a lot of time in the kitchen, helping Naomi out with the meals, which were always delicious, and also prepared dishes from our own cultures. We made such great memories! :)

During our stay we did a lot of things, we went to two festivals, the one in Minowa and in Ina, we went to Daio Wasabi farm and toured around Matsumoto!\nChris and Naomi, thank you very much for opening your home to us, till next time!\nI recommend these experience if you like farm life, meeting locals and traveling around in a different kind of Japan.\nThe food was delicious and very healthy, a lot of natural products that we harvested and cooked!

This was my first volunteer, and I had a really great time staying with Naomi and Chris. They made me feel very welcome and were also really good at accommodating any requests I had. The farm work was a hard and interesting experience, but Naomi was so sweet to bring us snacks when we were picking beans in the hot sun. The meals were delicious, and helping Naomi cook in the evening was so lovely. They both also showed an interest in our different cultures and let us make something from each of our countries. I'm so grateful I got to learn some new skills and spend time with amazing people!
