Message To WWOOFers In Japanese
小さい村で、薪風呂と薪ストーブのある生活をしています。
4人の息子と娘だけでなく、近所の子どもたちも遊びに来るので、いつも賑やかです。
動物はネコ1匹ですが、ニワトリなどの家畜小屋も作り、家畜も増やしたいと思っています。
ウーファーは、子どもや自然といつも戯れながら、スローライフを送ることができます。
英語教室や音楽教室も行っているので、村人との交流も多く、音楽のセッションをしたり、フリースクールの建物の改築作業を行うこともできます。
子どもが好きで、薪生活や農作業の生活に興味がある方、大歓迎です!
Message To WWOOFers In English
We live in a small village in a house with a firewood stove and bath.
Not just 4 of our children, but also other children in the neighborhood always gather at our house, so we are always busy having fun with children.
We only have a cat now but would like to build a chicken house and have chickens and other animals.
Wwoofers can have their slow life with children and lots of nature.
Because we carry English classes for children and Music classes, a wwoofer will not only learn about agriculture but also meet many villagers, play some musical instruments, and, if s/he wants, renovate our house and free school.
We welcome wwoofers who like children and a life with nature and vegetable/rice fields.
