Help us farming in rural Nagano Prefecture
The experience
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
