どうぞよろしくお願いします。気軽にお問合せください。
We are now accepting wwoofers for a new season starting in the spring of 2025.(We are fully booked until the end of July, so we are accepting from August)

We are accepting applications in units of about one week to one month in duration, but if you would like to experience and learn a lot about Nagano Azumino, agricultural life, guesthouses, and town planning, please feel free to contact us if you would like to stay longer than that.

I'm engaged in farming and running a guesthouse that we renovated with our friends from a 100 year old house. Guests from outside come to Azumino, and local Azumino friends also come and go, making it an inn for encounters and experiences.

If you are interested in the Half Farmer, Half X lifestyle, want to start an agricultural lifestyle or a guesthouse, or are motivated to create a community, please come to WWOOF.

I think this will also be a good learning opportunity for young people who will be school teachers or other people who deal with children in the future. This is because our guests are mainly families raising children. Through WWOOF, they will be able to talk with children and their parents.

In addition, I am also a member of the Azumino City Council. It's an interesting multiplication of various factors: community, agricultural life, guesthouse, and politics.

We accept anyone who wants to come to our guesthouse as long as there are vacancies, but we appreciate people who like to cook. I would like you to make simple vegetable home cooking to serve at the inn. (*Not required)

There are six of us in our family, but we live in a house separate from the guesthouse. Usually it is me (male) and the inn staff (2 males and 1 female) who are in contact with the woofer. The woofer will have a room in a shared house near the guesthouse.

We will be accepting the following students this year.

(1) From about late March. Spring & Golden Week (GW), etc.
 Pruning and management of blueberries, planting potatoes, etc.
 The main work during GW will be guesthouse management.
 Beautification, room preparation, food preparation assistance, etc.
 It is busy, but I look forward to interacting with the various guests who come every day.
 In between, I plant seeds of egoma (sesame).
 Apple blossoms are in full bloom around this time of year and it is very beautiful.

(2) Late May to mid-July
 Finally, the summer farming season is upon us.
 Rice cultivation (planting at the end of May, releasing rice paddies to the air in early June, weeding in June, etc.)
 Planting of summer vegetables, egoma, soybeans, etc.
 Harvesting golden wheat fields reminiscent of Nausicaa.
 Blueberry harvesting and picking experience acceptance from July.

(iii) Late July to late August
 This is the summer guesthouse busy season. The main work is to manage the inn.
 Our job is to bring guest families and children to play in the river (bring your swimsuits!) and dig potatoes.
 Room preparation and food preparation assistance.

4) Late September to early November
 This is the busy fall harvest farming season.
 Harvesting and sorting rice, egoma, buckwheat noodles, soybeans, etc.

Points to keep in mind
This is a half-farmer, half-community inn that runs a guesthouse while living an agricultural lifestyle. People who are thinking about Half Farmer, Half X lifestyle, farm life, guesthouse management in the future, people who want to move to rural areas or countryside, and people who want to have a healthy diet eating fresh vegetables are welcome to come.
We have a family house just a 5-minute walk from the inn, where I live with my grandparents and my wife. The children have grown up and live in their own places. We also look forward to getting to know the old-fashioned father and the mother who can do anything. Our wife has many same-sex admirers.

If you like to cook, we would like you to help us prepare the food at the inn. Simple home cooking using home-grown, pesticide-free fresh vegetables.
Cooking is not an essential part of Woof's job.
We enjoy meeting and interacting with inn guests and local friends who come in and out of our home. We also feature various events such as live music and cafes. Let's create and enjoy events together.
There are many WOOF host farms in Azumino. Why don't you try hopping from one to another? (Laughs)


We look forward to meeting woofers with whom we can build a lifelong relationship.
Please do not hesitate to contact us. Please feel free to contact us.
