長期にわたる海外生活経験（バングラデシュ10年、ミャンマー2年）を通じて日本の田舎暮らしの良さを再発見しています。

専業農家で生まれ育ち、工業高校卒業後に農機メーカーでエンジニアとして勤務ののち、海外ボランティア、国際協力専門家、外国での起業など、これまでの経験をすべて生かして地元で農家民泊を始めました。

農業をはじめ、生活全般を家族で楽しんでいます。
一緒に有意義な時間を過ごしましょう。
お待ちしています。

Spending 10 years in Bangladesh and 2 years in Myanmar gave the host and the family a fresh eye for traditional life style in Japanese rural area to appreciate it more than ever.

The host was born in a full-farmer's family, studied electricity at a technical high, and worked as an engineer at an agricultural machinery manufacturer, before going abroad as an overseas volunteer. After that, he gained experiences as JICA expert, and a freelance business consultant. All those experiences contributed when he and the family went into a new challenge of lodging or 'farm stay' in the host's home town.

The family enjoys the entire life here, and farming is a part of it. Come, join the family and share each other's experiences.
Looking forward to seeing you!
