日本ではとても珍しい、無肥料無農薬でお茶を作っています。
園主は人が好きなので、いろいろなバックグランドの人が茶園に手伝いに来てくれるのを楽しんでいます。
園主は元は会社員として働いていましたが、農業をするために会社員をやめ、景色に惚れこんで後継者がおらずに廃園になりかけていたお茶畑を引き継ぐことになりました。
○生活について・・・園主の家で一軒家です。男女別の相部屋です。畳に布団を敷く形式。ご飯は自分で作ってもらいます。５月は園主は家に一緒に泊まりますが、５月以外の時期は別宅に帰るのでひとりで過ごしてもらう可能性もあります。姫路から４５分電車＋１０分バス。特に生活面でのルールはありません。
○仕事について・・・農業未経験でも問題なし。雑草抜きは女性でもできます。ハードな仕事がしたい場合は収穫をすることもできます。

We grow tea in a way that is extremely rare in Japan—without fertilizers and without pesticides.
The owner of the tea garden is someone who genuinely loves people, and enjoys welcoming helpers from all kinds of backgrounds to work alongside him in the fields.
He originally worked as a company employee, but left his corporate career to pursue farming. Captivated by the breathtaking landscape, he took over a tea field that was on the verge of abandonment, with no successor to carry it on.
Would you like to experience farm work in such a spectacular tea garden?

○About daily life
Accommodation is in a detached house at the tea garden.
Shared rooms are separated by gender, and you will sleep on futons laid out on tatami mats.
Meals are self-catered.
In May, the owner stays in the house together with the WWOOFers, but outside of May, the owner usually returns to another home, so there may be times when you stay on your own.
The location is about 45 minutes by train from Himeji, plus a 10-minute bus ride.
There are no strict rules regarding daily life.

○About work
No farming experience is required.
Weeding work is manageable even for women.
For those who would like more physically demanding work, there may also be opportunities to help with harvesting.
