Hello! My name is Munehisa Shiraishi, the owner of Shiraishi Farm.
Since November 2023, we’ve been welcoming various guests, including people from overseas, to join us in growing vegetables and managing our mikan (mandarin orange) orchard.
Of course, Japanese participants are also very welcome — especially women who are interested in nature, farming, or rural island life.
We are now entering the main mikan harvest season, and we’re looking for people who can help us during this busy time.
Currently, two WWOOFers are scheduled to stay with us from October 19 to November 12, but we are in need of help from November 13 to December 19.
If you’re available during this period, we would greatly appreciate your support!
Ama Town, located on a remote island in the Oki Islands, is known for its motto: “There is nothing, but you can find here aniything.”
It’s a peaceful place surrounded by nature, where you can rediscover yourself and enjoy local island life.
During your stay, there are opportunities to join cultural exchange events such as the “Island Food Terakoya” workshops or meetings with local fishermen.
Please note that I sometimes need to be away for town council duties or part-time work at the crematorium — those days will be counted as your days off.
You can also use our automatic Jimny car (AT) for free during your stay (please return it with a full tank of gas).
We welcome anyone — men or women — who enjoys nature, farming, and spending time with others in a friendly, relaxed atmosphere.
If you’re interested, please feel free to contact us. We’d love to hear from you!
