No

We are alternative people, and live an organic mentality

周りに家のない山の中で生活しているので、水に流れるもの土に入るものには、とても気をつけています。土に帰らないゴミは出来るだけ減らせるように気をつけています。
ウーファーさんにもここに置いてある石鹸、歯磨き粉、リンス(柚子果汁)等以外は使ってもらえません。

We are environmentally-conscious.Everything we do is aimed at self-sufficiency,sustainability and reducing,reusing or recycling.We actively try to minimize our impact on the environment.

  • We put great effort into how to cook and what to eat

８年前にここに移住し、新しく山を開墾して暮らしています。私たちは、セルフビルドの家に電気.ガス.水道を使わず生活しています。ウーファーさんには生活全般の手伝い（田畑の管理、木の伐採、家の建築に関する仕事、薪で風呂を炊く、薪集めなど）の手伝いをしていただきます。
ここは周りには何もありません。一番近い商店、郵便局まで歩いて1時間半ほどかかります。滞在中必要なものがある方は前もって持参してください。
携帯電話もほとんど通じません。あらかじめ連絡が必要な人には滞在期間中は連絡できない旨を伝えてください。また、充電もできません。
食事はシンプルで、基本的に料理は１日に1度しかしません。その時期に育っている野菜だけを使うので同じ野菜の料理が続く場合もあります。動物性の食品（卵・牛乳を含む）は、ほぼ出ないと考えてください。
仕事は大抵ホストと一緒にしますが、ハードだと思います。

ですが、自然が好きな方、人工のものに紛れた生活から離れたい方、静かなところが好きな方にはとても良いところです。
人里とても離れたところに住みたいと考えている方も大歓迎です。お手伝い致します。

We are a small family homestead in an isolated location deep in the Shikoku mountains.We came here seven years ago,and at that time this place was all forest and bush.So far we have built a small cabin in which we live,a bath house,a chicken shed and a glasshouse.We also have vegetable and grain gardens,a small rice paddy,herb beds,shiitake stands and nascent fruit trees and bushes.Work on clearing the forest,expanding our growing areas and building our main house is ongoing.We live here mainly without electricity,and do as much as we can using only hand tools and natural local materials.Our main purpose is to be able to feed ourselves and live a self-sufficient and sustainable life.
Our diet is simple and vegetarian.Dairy-free and wheat-free.
We are busy with a farmer's market on weekends and are not able to deal with incoming or outgoing volunteers at that time,so please schedule your arrival and departure for weekdays.
