No
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
私たちは、できるだけ自然に沿った暮らしを心がけています。
農薬や化学肥料を使わない自然栽培を行い、食材は自分たちで育てたものや地域のものを中心にしています。味噌や調味料なども、できる範囲で手作りしています。

ごみはなるべく減らすよう意識し、使えるものは長く使い、簡単なDIYや修理も自分たちで行います。暖房は薪ストーブを使用しています。

テレビはほとんど見ず、本を読んだり、話したりする時間を大切にしています。自然療法や身体のこと、暮らしの在り方などについて日々勉強しながら、少しずつ変化し続けています。タバコは吸いません。

ただ、厳格な生活を求めているわけではありません。
食事や価値観についても無理のない範囲で、気楽に、心地よく過ごすことを大切にしています。

完璧を目指すのではなく、自分たちなりに考えながら生きることを大切にしています。
We try to live in a way that is as close to nature as possible.
We practice natural farming without pesticides or chemical fertilizers, and we mainly use food that we grow ourselves or source locally. We also make miso and other seasonings by hand whenever possible.

We try to reduce waste, use things for a long time, and do simple DIY projects and repairs ourselves. For heating, we use a wood stove.

We rarely watch television and value time for reading and conversation. We are interested in natural healing, the human body, and ways of living more consciously, and we continue learning and evolving little by little. We do not smoke.

However, we are not strict about our lifestyle.
We value being relaxed and comfortable, and we respect different food preferences and personal values.

Rather than aiming for perfection, we try to live thoughtfully and in our own way.

私たちは、自然に沿った暮らしを実践しながら、家族5人で生活しています。
農薬や化学肥料を使わない自然栽培で米や野菜を育て、できる範囲で食や調味料も自分たちで作っています。暮らしは効率重視ではなく、自然や季節の流れに合わせて変化します。

私たちにとって「暮らすこと」はそのまま「生きること」です。
特別な体験プログラムというよりも、日々の営みを一緒に過ごしてもらう形になります。作業は田んぼや畑、薪作業、手入れ、季節の手仕事など、その時期によってさまざまです。やることは常にあり、体を動かすことが好きな方には十分な作業があります。

語学や文化交流、自然療法や暮らしの在り方について話す時間もありますが、教えるというよりも、お互いに学び合う関係を大切にしています。

ウーファーの方には特別な資格は必要ありません。
自分で考え、わからないことは聞き、家族と一緒に生活することを楽しめる方であれば歓迎です。

私たちは現在、2つの拠点を行き来しながら暮らしています。
一つは比較的街中にある住居で、家族が住んでいる場所です。ここにはWi-Fi環境があり、主に食事や家族の時間はこの家で過ごします。

もう一つは車で約5分ほどの場所にある家で、その目の前に田んぼや畑が広がる、より田舎らしい環境です。ウーファーの方にはこちらの家に宿泊していただく予定です。現在この家にはWi-Fiはありませんが、今後整備予定です。必要な場合は近隣でインターネットを利用できます。

日中は農作業や生活を共にし、夜は静かな環境で過ごしていただく形になります。デジタルから少し離れた時間を楽しめる方には、とても心地よい環境です。

合っている方：
・自然や農に興味がある
・体を動かすことが好き
・静かな田舎暮らしを楽しめる
・家族のリズムを尊重できる

合わない可能性がある方：
・強い刺激や観光中心の滞在を求める方
・常に細かい指示を必要とする方

私たちは厳格なライフスタイルを押しつけることはありません。
無理をせず、気楽に、心地よく過ごせる関係を大切にしています。

完璧を目指すのではなく、自分たちなりに考えながら生きる暮らしを、分かち合えたら嬉しいです
We are a family of five living a life that is as close to nature as possible.
We grow rice and vegetables using natural farming methods without pesticides or chemical fertilizers. As much as we can, we prepare our own food and make items such as miso and other seasonings by hand. Our daily life is not based on efficiency, but on the rhythms of nature and the seasons.

For us, “living” and “life” are the same thing.
Rather than offering a special program, we invite you to share our everyday life. The work varies depending on the season and may include rice field and vegetable field tasks, firewood work, maintenance, and seasonal handmade projects. There is always something to do, and those who enjoy physical work will have plenty to engage in.

We also enjoy conversations about language, culture, natural healing, and ways of living, but we value mutual learning rather than a teacher-student relationship.

No special qualifications are required.
If you can think independently, ask questions when needed, and enjoy living together with a family, you are very welcome.

We currently live between two locations.
One house is in a more central area of town, where our family lives. This house has Wi-Fi, and we usually share meals and family time there.

The other house is about five minutes away by car, in a more rural setting with rice fields and vegetable fields right in front of it. Woofer guests will stay in this countryside house. At the moment, there is no Wi-Fi there, but we plan to install it in the future. If internet access is needed, it is available at our town house.

During the day, we work and live together. In the evening, you will stay in a quiet countryside environment. It is a comfortable place for those who enjoy spending time slightly away from digital life.

This place may be a good fit if you:

Are interested in nature and farming

Enjoy physical work

Appreciate quiet rural life

Respect a family’s rhythm

It may not be a good fit if you:

Are mainly looking for sightseeing or constant stimulation

Prefer detailed step-by-step instructions at all times

We do not impose a strict lifestyle.
We value being relaxed, comfortable, and respectful of one another.

Rather than aiming for perfection, we simply try to live thoughtfully and in our own way. We would be happy to share this life with you.
WE ARE ACCEPTING WWOOFers
現在受け入れ可能です。ご興味のある方はお気軽にご連絡ください。
We are currently accepting Woofers. If you are interested, please feel free to get in touch with us.
