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 in our garden.

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 to 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.
