We are alternative people, and live an organic mentality
I live in a mountain without a house around me, so I am very careful about what flows in the water and what goes into the soil.I am careful to reduce the amount of garbage that does not return to the soil as much as possible.
Mr. Woofer can not use except soap, toothpaste, rinse( yuzu juice ) etc. while are left here.
We are environment-consistent.Everything we do is intended at self-service, sustainability and reduction, reuse or recycling.We activity try to minimize our impact on the environment.

I moved here eight years ago and live newly cleared mountains; we live in a self-built house without electronics, gas or water; and we help Woofer with life in general (managing fields, cutting trees, working on the architecture of houses, cooking baths with wood, and more, I'll reply the gift.
There's nothing around here - it's about an hour and a half's walk to the nearest store, post office - and bring about you need your way ahead of time.
You can hardly contact the mobile phone.Please tell the person who needs to contact in advance that you can not contact during the stay.Also, you can not charge.
The diet is simple, and the dishes are basically cooked once a day, moments the matchable dishes follow, as only the veggetables green at that time of year are used; consider that animal-based foods (inclusion egg and milk) are almost never served.
I usually work with my host, but I think it's hard.

However, It is a very good place for those who like nature, who who want to get away from living under the cover of artistic things, and who like quiet places.
Those who want to live in a very remote place are also welcome.We will help you.

If you are interested please feel free to contact us.

Sometimes I put it on Facebook.
Search by Peasant Production.

It may take some time to contact from here.
We are a small family homestead in an isolated location deep in the Shikoku mountains.We come here eleven years ago, and 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 grow race and vessels, Herb beads and nascent fruit trees and bushes.Work on cleaning the forest, expanding our growing area and building our main house is continuing.We live here main without electronics, and do as much we can use only hand tools and natural local materials.Our main purpose is to be able to supply and self-supplies.
Our diet is simple and mainly vegan.
We are moments busy with a furmer's market on weeks, so please schedule your arrival and Departure for weekdays.
WE ARE ACCEPTING WWOOFers
It's a 50-minute drive from the nearest supermarket, convenience store and school; far from anything, there's no electronics or anything exciting, but there's a lot of nature allone; that who want to send or want to live in such a place.
I would be happy if you would feel that off-grid life is not that difficult.
