Tokushima
WE ARE IN URGENT NEED OF WWOOFers!
Regenerative agriculture is gradually becoming known through the practices of companies like Patagonia, but there are still very few people practicing it in Japan.
Tsukuyomi Farm had been experimenting with techniques like no-till farming, intercropping, and organic cultivation for 20 years before the term "regenerative agriculture" even existed.
In addition to agricultural techniques, we have also expanded the regenerative mindset and conducted various experiments.
Similar to the WWOOF system, in addition to exchanging accommodation and food for help, we provide dedicated farmland, and buy the agricultural products grown on that land at a fair price as a form of support for starting farming and becoming independent.
Over 20 people have moved to Tokushima or started farming in their hometowns through this.
Like how Tsukuyomi Farm itself is a farm x greengrocer, we pursue the possibilities of agriculture through "half-farming, half-X" initiatives, where people like half-farmer, half-web designer, writer, marketer, traveling chef, YouTuber, etc. gather and engage in various undertakings.
Regenerative agriculture has a truly great potential to solve agricultural challenges.
We encourage you to experience that potential firsthand.
Unfortunately, our local area is aging, and vacant houses are increasing. Though still a small endeavor, our dream is to utilize those increasing vacant houses, not simply reject technology, and create an international free agricultural city - a community like Auroville in India where sustainable agriculture is practiced and diverse people including foreigners interact and support each other.
Please lend us your strength as one small step towards that!
Let's enjoy it together!

I live in the middle of Japan. A big town nearby　is Nagoya. It is convenient to go anywhere in Japan. Would you like to grow and study fruits and vegetables? Fruits are mainly grapes. We cultivate 20 kinds of Japanese vegetables per year. Why do not you interact with local people and experience Japanese culture and customs?

WE ARE IN URGENT NEED OF WWOOFers!
We (Tatsuya and Sho) inherited 1ha(2.5acre) of mountain field and an old Japanese traditional house last year in Shizuoka, where we live with our daughter Mon(age3) and a black cat. We are planning to reproduce field and orchard in organic way to grow vegetables, and to renovate an old house and a guest house with natural materials.

We finished a big honeymoon (2015~2017 around the world) and came back to Japan.
During 2years honeymoon, we did Workaway / WWOOFing in Japan, U.S, Spain, Germany and Morocco.
we met various kinds of people and shared stories with them.
We saw how people live, what people believe.
And this time, we would like to share the experience in our place.

WE ARE IN URGENT NEED OF WWOOFers!
Dear WWOOFers,

For the last 5 years, we have been working to fulfill our dream of creating a beautiful pocket in the world, filled with art, music, nature, delicious food, and laughter holding it all together.

We have built Yusu no Ki all from scratch, and everyday it is getting closer to our dream. Artists and musicians regularly pass through and stay with us, our retaurant is steadily gaining in popularity and it is all thanks to the help of WWOOF.

We want to share the music and culture of Japan with people from all over the world, and love to learn. The work we have been doing has ranged from wooden decks to exposed wood ceilings to cutting tiles and shaping glass, building furniture and shaping our home and our space to fit into the nature around us.

Our restaurant hangs over a small lazy river and we are surrounded by forest and hills on all sides.

At the moment, we are involved in trying to meld the classical Japanese style of architecture with the Grecian style, focusing on using shape and color and contrast to live in visual and physical harmony with the beauty around us.

Work here is challenging, but we are all trying to learn! Come learn and build and laugh and make mistakes with us! We are waiting to hear from you. (＾ｏ＾）／
ps;Dear wwoofer,
I had an abstract and malicious comment on a woman of an American couple before and I want new women to understand this wonderful thing of Tokonomi. While ladies stay, we guarantee to live meaningfully. A woman who transmits goodness of shinobi is necessary now. To take a misunderstanding. !!

Sincerely,
“I can speak only a little English. I didn’t write this text but my ex-WWOOFers helped it for me.”If you like Japanese culture or Japanese cuisine, please come. Kousei&rieko

Okinawa
WE ARE IN URGENT NEED OF WWOOFers!
Welcome to Igei Farm! We are an organic vegetable farm located in Oogimi. Oogimi is a village in northern Okinawa known locally as the “village of longevity.” It is considered as one of the five “blue zones” in the world, where people are thought to live the longest, happiest lives. In fact, our farm was recently featured in a documentary about longevity by Yes Theory, titled “Why Locals Live +100 Years on this Japanese Island” (SEE VIDEO: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mm-ZhXVGnPg).

Igei-san worked in the cities of Okinawa until about 30 years ago, when he purchased an empty lot in the mountains of Ogimi to realize his dreams of starting an organic farm. It’s his life passion to grow vegetables without pesticides using the traditional techniques he learned from his father. Organic farming requires lots of hands, and this is where we need your help! We have been hosting WWOOFers for over 10 years. While we do not speak any English, we do our best to communicate using translation apps. We do ask that you have an interest in learning Japanese and are respectful of our culture. Please message us in Japanese, and note that as we are older, we may be slow with responding to messages.

Our daily work varies depending on the season but may involve harvesting, weeding, planting, and DIY projects. We work about six hours a day with generous breaks. We provide delicious, traditional Okinawan meals using vegetables and meat from our farm. It’s important to note that our accommodation is a rustic farmhouse, so please be aware of this before applying. We seek people who value connection and understand that you don’t need much to live a healthy and fulfilling life. We have wifi and air conditioning in the summer. You will be living alongside all kinds of insects, so we highly recommend you are comfortable with bugs and bring bug spray. Additionally, you will need work clothes (long sleeves and long pants), a hat, and rain jacket. We have some work boots, but sizes are limited, so please bring your own if you can.

Ideally, we would like WWOOFers to stay for at least two weeks. We look forward to hearing from you!

★We primarily welcome long-term stays of 3 weeks or more, but depending on our busy seasons (April, May, and August) and availability, we also accept short-term stays.★

Stays of less than 3 weeks outside the busy seasons are considered regular (fee-based) accommodations, not through WWOOF. For more details, please refer to the Dana Village website.

In addition to farm work, we are also looking for individuals who can assist flexibly in various tasks around the house, such as cleaning, tidying up, and taking care of children!

We need WWOOFers mostly from the end of March to December. We welcome people who are sincerely looking for experiences with a sustainable, authentic lifestyle with a vegan diet. (You don't have to be vegan, but what we provide is ONLY plant base, except we got something from the neighbor. So we would request you to avoid bringing any non-vegan products to Dana Village: You can eat outside if you want )
PLEASE avoid the last minutes cancellation/ sending COPY&PASTE message as we are accepting limited numbers while we have a lot of requests.
Thank you and look forward to working together!
