About half organic
Not Applicable
We have an organic attitude of sorts, but we do not go out of our way to be organic or alternative, rather, we do what suits us at the time
I try to prioritize locally sourced products as much as possible.
I choose vegetables grown locally with organic ways, as well as seasonal ingredients from the mountains, rivers, and oceans.
I also follow the local waste separation rules and recycle whenever possible.
To prevent food waste, I avoid unnecessary shopping.
As a result, our meals are made from what we already have at home.
  • We usually eat vegetables and rice but we have meat and fish if we are given it
  • We cook mainly Japanese meals
  • We sometimes cook Western types of food
  • We always cook homemade meals
We do not drink at all. However if WWOOFers want to drink, they can bring their own drink but it has to be a little amount and of course it must not interfere with WWOOFing
No, nobody smokes
  • Rural area
  • In the mountains
  • In a tiny village in a mountain area
  • Mixed area of farming and residential houses
  • Outside the town
  • Near the mountains
  • In a valley between mountains
  • Very quiet
  • WWOOFers can walk here from the nearest public transportation, station / bus stop
Our home and our workplace are situated at the same place or very close to each other and so the atmosphere stated pertains to both our home and our workplace

  • If WWOOFers want to stay for a long period, after about a one week trial period, we decide if the WWOOFer is suited to our place and whether we will ask him or her to stay longer

The house built in the traditional Japanese architectural style. In the garden, there is a weeping cherry tree(SAKURA) that is approximately 300 years old, which we care for together with the local community. We do not use any chemical pesticides or insecticides.

The house is a guesthouse for hikers walking the Kumano Kodo, a UNESCO World Heritage site.
In the high season, many hikers come to our garden for drinks and short break.
So we’ll have quite busy afternoon time for serving drinks, checking-in and preparing dinner.
For meals, we try to use local organic vegetables, seasonal fish, and pesticide-free produce herbs from our garden as much as possible.

Our team motto is "Be professional, Be friendly but respectful, Create good vibes."

We are looking for individuals who are healthy in body/mind, mentally independent, and able to appreciate the simple joys of rural life. If you would like to utilize your cooking skills while learning Japanese culinary techniques, help with maintaining the Japanese garden or tending to the fields, or learn about Japanese hospitality and cleaning methods, we would be happy to have you join us.

Uniforms consist of a traditional "samue" outfit.

On your days off, you can enjoy hiking the Kumano Kodo.
There is a bus stop just 1 minute away, and you can easily access hot springs, shrines, and the city. A small supermarket is nearby. Please note that because we are in a remote area, you won't be able to buy things at any time like you would in the city.

Meals will be prepared with whatever ingredients we have on hand. Please purchase your own personal items or snacks. Showers are available during the daytime.

This opportunity is not suitable for those simply looking for a place to eat and sleep for free. We value communication with the local community, guests, and fellow staff members.

We are looking for individuals who can follow the house rules and interact with others in a friendly, respectful, and positive manner. If you are unable to do so, this position will not be a good fit for you.
