100% organic
We have an organic attitude of sorts, but we do not go out of our way to be organic or alternative, rather, we do what suits us at the time
東北の被災地で支援活動や復興のボランティア活動をしている、菜の花を栽培して菜種油を作っている。タバコは吸わない、テレビは見ない、利用できるものは長く使用している、物をリサイクルしている。エネルギー自給自足できるエコハウスを作っておりカフェにする予定。山や海が近いので山やシーカヤックなどアウトドアをしてます。そのエコハウスで各種ワークショップやイベントをやっている。生産したものを県内の露店マーケットなどで販売などもします。
I volunteer and provide support for the revival of the northeastern stricken area by cultivating rapeseed flowers (Brassica napus) and making rapeseed oil. We don't watch TV, and we do not smoke. We try to use everything for as long as possible and recycle what cannot be reused anymore. I am making a self-sufficient eco-house, which will be opened as a cafe. Since the nearby region has many mountains and access to the sea, I do many outdoor activities, such as trekking and kayaking in the sea. I also do various workshops and events in the eco-house, and sell my products in the prefecture's regional fresh market.

語学力がそんなにあるわけではないですが、140カ国以上を旅をしたことがあるので対応はどんな方でもだいたい可能だと思います。またバイクと車で地球一周の旅をしています。
Even though I cannot speak English really well, everyone is welcome. I have traveled to more than 140 countries around the world, both by cars and motorcycles, and for that reason I can do my best to communicate with anyone.
東日本大地震をきっかけに東北で震災ボランティアを始めたことがきっかけで岩手で住むようになりました。ガソリンスタンドに寄らないでも走るエコカーを自作、被災地でエコハウスを作り、農業をやり、漁業、林業などの手伝い、コンサートやイベントなどのサポートなどをしています。私のエコハウスでは、電力を自分で作り、車の燃料も自分で作り自給自足しています。

地球の未来を考え、暮らし方やエネルギー、環境を模索しています。自然を大切に豊かな暮らしを作っていきたいと思います。お金に振り回されず、地球と共に暖かい生活を目指したいと思いますので、旅が好きで、人が好き、自然に関心にある方は大歓迎です。
I decided to live in Iwate after volunteering for the earthquake disaster relief program post-Great East Japan Earthquake in Tohoku. I created, by myself, an eco-car that does not require stopping at any gas station; currently I am building an eco-house at a stricken area, organising events such as concerts, providing support to nearby fisheries and forestry-related companies, and doing agricultural work in the area. In my eco-house, I have a full self-sufficient lifestyle by making both my own electricity and my own car fuel.

I think about Earth's future, its environment, and how we should explore its energy for our sustainable living; in fact, it's my greatest wish to make a fulfilling living by tending to nature. As my goal is to help support planet Earth with kindness and responsibility - and without being motivated by money - we welcome those who like traveling, those who like being around people and those who have an interest in nature.

Would you like to experience a simple and sustainable lifestyle in rural Japan?

We live in a nature-rich area along the Sanriku Coast on the Pacific Ocean side of Iwate Prefecture. Surrounded by mountains, rivers, and the ocean (ria coastline), this is a place where you can feel the changing seasons up close and connect deeply with nature. Here, we practice a self-sufficient lifestyle by growing rice and vegetables, using renewable energy, building eco-houses, and preparing to open a small café. Our project is still developing, and we are looking for people who can enjoy this process and help us bring it to life.

Main activities during your stay:
Farming (rice fields and vegetable gardens)
Forestry (maintaining the satoyama)
DIY and building projects (eco-houses, tiny houses, etc.)
Café creation

We Welcome People Who...
・Enjoy working with their hands.
・Love cooking and value good food.
・Are interested in nature and sustainable living.
・Enjoy a variety of tasks and can adapt flexibly.
・Want to experience authentic rural life in Japan.

Who We're Looking For:
・Around 25 years of age or older.
・Experienced with WWOOF (preferred, but not essential).
・Able to speak at least a little Japanese, or motivated to learn.
・Willing to share a recent profile photo with their application.

We are looking for people who enjoy learning, sharing, and becoming part of our small community, even for a short stay.

Urgent WWOOF Volunteer Needed! :
We are looking for a volunteer who can stay for about 3 days between August 2 and August 4.

If you're available and interested in experiencing life on a small farm in rural Japan, I'd love to hear from you!

This time, I am looking for volunteers only for this short period.
However, if you are interested in staying with us for a longer period from September onward, we usually begin with a short trial stay. After that, we can discuss extending your stay if we both feel it is a good fit.

For long-term volunteers, there will also be opportunities to experience much more than farm work, including trekking, sea kayaking, and experiencing the local culture and way of life. I hope you can enjoy the nature, community, and simple rural lifestyle here in northeastern Japan.

If you would like to experience rural Japanese life and hands-on farm work, we would love to hear from you.

During this time, there are many seasonal activities such as a “Nanohana Gathering” festival and preparations for rice planting.

If you are interested in a longer stay, we will begin with a short trial period and then discuss extending your stay after confirming that it is a good fit for both sides.
For longer stays, there may be opportunities to enjoy trekking, sea kayaking, and experiencing local culture, allowing you to engage more deeply with nature and this lifestyle.We are looking forward to meeting someone who values nature, simple living, and human connection, and who would enjoy sharing time together like a family.

If you are interested, we look forward to hearing from you.
