A small rural farm hostel (Soranoie farmstay) has been opened since 2018. The hostel was an old Japanese farm house renovated in 2018.The house is located in a rural village about 20 minutes drive south of the Gero hot spring town , in Gifu prefecture. Although it is an aging area, neighbors help each other to live, and we are also working on local festivals and local events, and in recent years, community development and community building.
There are vegetarian farm fields and rice fields, and there are various handicrafts and tasks for each season. We may also ask you to help with the renovation work of an old folk house.
While helping out, enjoy meeting and interacting with people living in the neighborhood, eating seasonal foods while feeling the transition of nature, tasting gifts from the neighborhood, going to hot springs, living in the village. I also want you to enjoy Japanese rural life.
The accommodation would be changeable ,sometimes in the hostel,sometimes in the house next to our hostel.
岐阜県下呂市上原 (かみはら)地域という下呂温泉街から車で約20分ほど南下したところにある農村集落にある古民家を改修し、2018年から小さな農村滞在型の宿(ソラノイエ　農村滞在型の宿)を営んでいます。高齢化が進む地域ではありますが、近所の人同士が助け合って暮らし、お祭りや地域行事、近年は地域づくりや地域おこしにも力をいれています。
畑と田んぼがあり、季節毎にさまざまな手仕事や作業があります。古民家のリノベーション作業をお手伝いいただくこともあります。
お手伝いもしていただきながら、近隣に暮らす人との出会いや交流を楽しんだり、自然の移り変わりを感じて旬のものを食べたり、近所からのお裾分けを味わったり、温泉行ったり、集落の中での暮らしも体験してもらいたいです。
寝泊まりの場所は、時期によって宿内のこともありますが、隣の家（空き家で水回りなどはあり)で泊まって過ごしていただくこともあります。
WE ARE ACCEPTING WWOOFers
