I've been living in the countryside for five years. I try to live as organically as possible, and as freely and leisurely as possible.

Farming, cooking, woodworking, art... I do a variety of things every day, and I hope to do what I can with the other WWOOFers at the time.

Sometimes we go sightseeing or have fun together.

Recently, I've been hoping for the whole region to move in an organic direction, so I've been actively communicating this awareness to local residents and government officials, and working to encourage this little by little.

As part of this, the aging of the rice farmers who have supported the region and the issue of successors have come to light, and I realized that gradually taking over these rice farmers and converting them to organic farming methods would be a major key to both making the region organic and resolving the succession issue.

So, with the cooperation of some leading local rice farmers, we will be learning about and practicing rice cultivation, and with the cooperation of a local organization whose main activity is relocation arrangements, we have started to create a system and environment that can recruit and support people who want to grow rice and live an organic lifestyle in a wide range of styles.

We are still in the early stages, so we would be grateful if you could learn with us and lend us your support!

Also, if you have any requests, please don't hesitate to let us know!
