隠岐は離島でありながら、豊富な湧き水に恵まれ、海・山・田・畑の揃った日本の箱庭のようなところです。私たちホストはウーフで夫婦となり、今は4人の子供と6人暮らしです。半農半漁　＋α　の暮らしを実践できます。米・麦・大豆に野菜の栽培といった野良しごとに加え、すぐ近くの海では釣りをしたり、刺網を使い新鮮な魚を獲ったりする体験もできます。興味のある方のお越しをお待ちしております。匂いのついた洗剤や香水が苦手なので、使用されている方はご遠慮ください。
Ama(Nakanoshima) is one of the Oki islands, which locate some 60 kilometers offshore in the sea of Japan. Although Ama is a remote island, it has everything you expect when you come to Japan. There are farming and fishing villages sorrounded by mountains and the sea. People grow rice and vegetables with beautiful spring water.

My wife came here as a WWOOFer some years ago and now we are family with lovely little baby boy. We also have chickens and honey bees.

We are really looking forward to sharing time with another new family member!

We like the life without synthetic perfumed detergent or fragrance, thanks.
