Organic Lifestyle
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
Example of Lifestyle (Japanese)
一番の軸はヴィーガンであることで、それに加えて可能な限りオーガニックな生活を実践しています。心身の健康、動物、環境への配慮を大切にしています。
食事に関しては自炊が多いですが、外食をすることもあり、オーガニックを心がけますが必ずしもそうでないこともあります。
心のゆとりも大切で完璧主義はそれと対立するからです。
ゴミはなるべく出しません。生ごみはなるべくコンポスト化して土に返しています。
テレビは家になく、見ません。
タバコは吸いません。
お酒は私が週に1回ほど嗜みます(妻は飲みません)。
コーヒーが好きです(妻はコーヒーではなくお茶を好みます)。
物はなるべく長く使い、ほつれたり穴が開いた衣服は刺繍して補修します。
自然、人を愛し、なるべく穏やかに倫理的な選択を心がけています。
水も大切にしたいので、食器洗いや洗濯をするときには洗剤を使わず、使う水の量も最低限を心がけています。
食事は全て植物性のため、油ものでもお湯を使えば十分にきれいになります。
風呂は薪風呂で、シャワーは充電式の電動シャワーを、お風呂を焚いたときに湯舟からくみ上げて使います。
お風呂の水は近くの沢の水を水タンクを使って汲んできて使っています。
晴れた日は中古のソーラーパネルを外に出して小さな電源に電気を溜め、スマホやパソコンの充電に使います。
風呂は必要を感じた時に、およそ週1回ほど入ります。
温泉は好きなので家族で時々行きます。
2025年1月に生まれたばかりの息子がおり、僕たちは彼にのびのび育ってほしいと願っています。
そのため日々農作業や家の内外でやることがありますが、ただ遊んだり公園や児童館に出かけたりすることもあります。
夜は19時頃寝て、朝は5〜6時頃起きます。太陽のリズムに合わせたようなスタイルです。僕は少し遅くまで起きて作業をすることがあります。
春~夏は日が長いのでさらに早く起きることもあります。
食事は普通、朝ごはんは6~7時頃、昼ご飯は11~12時頃、夜ご飯は17時頃に食べます。
Example of Lifestyle (English)
We are a vegan family.
We do our best to live organic. We value our body and mental health, caring for animals and the environments.
We mostly cook food and sometimes go eat out. We don't go perfection for our mental peacefulness.
We try minimizing the trash. We make composts. We don't have a TV and don't watch them. We don't smoke.
I drink alcohol about once a week (my wife doesn't). I like coffee. My wife likes tea and doesn't drink coffee.
We use things as long as possible for the sustainability such as repairing clothes by sewing.
We love people and nature. We try making choices as ethical as possible.
We don't use any kind of soap or cleaners and try using least water amount because we want to minimize the environmental impact.
Though when we use oil for cooking it's no problem without detergent because we use only plant-based material.
Our bath is heated by wood. We only take a bath about once a week.
The water is from natural stream nearby. We go get it using some water tanks.
We sometimes go to Onsen.
We have a boy born in January 2025 and we want him grow freely and happily.
So we sometimes just spend time playing with him though we have things to do about our farm.
My wife Fumina and our son Kunugi usually go to bed aroung 7pm and wake up around 5-6 am, almost according to the sun.
I often stay up a little late at night doing some work.
We usually eat breakfast at 6-7 am, lunch 11-12am and dinner around 5pm.

Message To WWOOFers In Japanese
私たちは自然を愛するヴィーガンの家族です。なるべくオーガニックでミニマルで、お金に頼らない生活を心がけています。家に一般的な化粧品や洗剤、テレビ、動物性食品などがありません。質素で不便に見えるかもしれませんが、僕たちはこの生活が好きで、心から楽しんでいます。なので、このような生活に興味のある人、あるいはこのような生活でも大丈夫という人に来ていただけるとお互いに楽しめるのではないかと思います。ウーファーの方は自然農の野菜作り、お米作り、薪風呂の準備、ヴィーガン料理、家の掃除、子守りなどのお手伝いをお願いしたいです。僕たちには1歳の息子がいて、彼は僕たちの生活の中心であるので、子どもと一緒に過ごすことが好きな人が望ましいです。一緒に遊んでくれたりしたらとても助かります。田んぼと畑は今年から始めたものなので方法が確立していなく、すべてにおいて実験的な側面が大きいので、行き当たりばったりなことも多いです。そうした状況を理解し、一緒に考えながら楽しんでくれるような人に来てもらえたら一層嬉しく思います。僕は日本語をオンラインで教える仕事をしていて、週に2,3回ほど朝の5時から教える時があり、ウーファーの人にレッスンの声が聞こえて起こしてしまうかもしれません。夜は妻と息子がだいたい19時頃には寝るので、それ以降はなるべくお静かにお願いしたいです。7月5日から8月5日まで長期外出予定なのでウーファー受付できません。ウーファーさんの部屋は6畳の部屋が2部屋あり、カップルの方など相部屋可能なら4名まで滞在できると思います。一人一部屋希望の場合は2名までになります。Wi-Fiはなくご自身のスマホデータなどで通信していただく必要があります。
Message To WWOOFers In English
We are a peaceful, calm vegan family of three; me husband, wife and a boy who was just born in 2025. We love nature, animals and peace. We have just started a family farm this year aiming to be food self sufficient. We are sometimes lazy but think it is an important part of life. You can experience a vegan lifestyle in Japan, organic farming(no pesticide, no fertilizer no chemical), minimal life, child raising, preparing bath by making fire, vegan cooking and etc. We are very happy if you are also interested in a sustainable, calm and peaceful lifestyle. You need to be ok with a vegan lifestyle during the stay. In the time off, you can go for a walk, biking, visiting the cultural Matsumoto city, visiting our friends together, going to onsen and so on. We are not so organized but just enjoying the irreplaceable moments everyday. We hope you to understand these principles, keep thinking and enjoy this lifestyle together. There are two 10 square meters rooms for wwoofers. If you are ok with two people in one room such as couple, we can host 4 people at most. If you prefer one room for one person, then two people can stay at most. We don't have a great wifi so you will need to use your cell phone data to use internet.
