美しい海に囲まれた雲仙市小浜町山畑で、昨年誕生しました。この美しい景観の中で若い力を用いり、「活気ある農業」を実践しています。
デジタルツールを活用したスマートな農業を目指しながらも、土に触れる喜びを忘れない。そんな新しい農業のカタチを目指しています。
具体的にはかぼちゃ、とうもろこし、玉ねぎを生産しており、4人で日々励ましあいながら農業に従事しております。
創業したばかりの農業法人がどのように成長していくのかを近くで見たり、体験することができます。
温泉が車にて10分圏内の場所にあり、仕事終わりで温泉に行くことが多く、雲仙小浜温泉を日々堪能することができます。
そんな日々の変化を楽しめる方、新しいことに挑戦したい方などお待ちしております。

[About Us]
we were founded last year in Yamahata, Obama-cho—a stunning location overlooking the sea in Unzen City. We are a young and energetic agricultural corporation managing 5hectares of land. Our mission is to create a "vibrant" style of farming that blends tradition with innovation.
We mainly grow pumpkin, corn, and onion.
[Our Style: Smart & Hands-on]
We aim for "Smart Agriculture" by utilizing digital tools and modern machinery to make farming more efficient. However, we never forget the fundamental joy of getting our hands in the soil. At Ougikai, you can experience a unique balance of high-tech management and authentic, earthy farm work.
[What You Will Experience]
As a newly established farm, every day is a fresh start. You will have the rare opportunity to:
See firsthand how a professional agricultural startup grows and evolves.
Work in a breathtaking landscape between the mountains and the sea.
Also, there are very nice hot springs close to our house, you can enjoy hot spring every night after work and refresh.
Participate in large-scale cultivation (primarily pumpkins and seasonal crops).
[Who We Are Looking For]
We welcome anyone who:
Enjoys daily changes and the excitement of a "startup" environment.
Is eager to try new things and embrace challenges.
Wants to see the intersection of technology and nature.
Join us in shaping the future of Japanese agriculture! We look forward to meeting you.
