WE ARE IN URGENT NEED OF WWOOFers!
Nice to meet you. Hello. I'm Shiraishi, the representative of Shiraishi Farm. Since last year, I've been growing vegetables and managing a mandarin orange farm while living with people from various
countries. Full-scale mandarin orange harvesting will begin in October this year. Ama Town, where I live, is attracting attention as an isolated island in Japan where young people gather. Ama Town's catchphrase is "Naimonowa Nai" There are no convenience stores, but on the contrary, why not enjoy life on this isolated island surrounded by rich nature where you can find yourself? ? We are currently recruiting Wwoofers. We look forward to hearing from you! !

Please note that some people cancel for various reasons, and during that time we are also turning away people who want to help out at our farm, so we would appreciate it if you could consult with us and respond to our enquiries taking these circumstances into consideration.

WE ARE IN URGENT NEED OF WWOOFers!
until 9th of March we are in the winter holiday. ★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!


***I apologize, but we kindly request heavy smokers and individuals who use strong artificial fragrances, such as fabric softeners, to refrain from using them before coming here. Thank you.

Kyoto
WE ARE IN URGENT NEED OF WWOOFers!
In the Satoyama area of ​​Maizuru City in northern Kyoto Prefecture, we live agricultural life centered on farm inn, fermentation, and hunting (manufacturing of gibier meat and processed gibier products).
It may be stimulating for those who are interested in hunting, farming, and food.

・When contacting us, please tell us in detail what made you interested in us and why you want to WWOOF with us, as this will affect the decision to accept.
・Wwoofers cannot be accepted unless they are curious, cooperative, proactive, and have everyday conversation level Japanese ability.
・We have children aged 7, 4 and 2, so if you are unable to take care of them,
Not acceptable.
・In hunting, live wild animals are killed, dismantled, and butchered. Naturally, blood is spilled.Without a willingness to see and be involved in such processes, it may be difficult, and since we do not have the idea of daring to show such processes to woofers, we do not intend to show them without a positive intention.Please understand that this is a sensitive area since we are taking the life of an animal.

※If the message does not include your interest, motivation, or the fact that you can speak Japanese, we will assume that you have not read this profile and will not reply.
※Based on the above, please send a polite message, not just the dates you want to wwoof.

WE ARE IN URGENT NEED OF WWOOFers!
Calling WWOOFers who love cooking from all over the world, come together!
You don't have to be a good cook, but if you like cooking, you are welcome!
Why don't you join us and have fun cooking in the kitchen of the Harappa Cafe?
In this restaurant, every WWOOFer is a "chef"!

【Yufuin, Oita】We are looking for wwoofers to help our cafe kitchen between Jan 29th and Feb 4th or for 2 weeks after Feb 12th 2025.

Our place is a cafe restaurant, not farm.
90% of WWOOFers activities are cooking,and the other 10% is to help our friend farmers or residents
. So those who are interested in cooking are most welcome here
!（You don't have to be good at cooking. But we need WWOOFers who love cooking or interested in it.）

In our kitchen, each of the woofers is not merely a cooking assistant, but a "chef" who can make any dish he or she wants to make every day (usually, by lunchtime each day, the wwoofers will make at least two or three dishes of their own choice). The dishes are then checked by our manager and placed on the buffet.

This is a bit of a long explanation, but what I want to say is that here, all the WWOOFer will be cooking for almost 3 hours every day, thinking up his own dishes, so if you like or are interested in cooking, this place will be a fun place, but if you are not, it's not a fun for you.
That is why I am explaining this at the beginning, just to be sure.

------------------------------------------------------------

We run a community restaurant called "Harappa Cafe" in a place called Yufuin in Oita Prefecture. Through food, people from all over the world and local residents, young and old, with and without disabilities, enjoy interacting with each other, and through this interaction, we are conducting various experimental efforts to create a relationship of mutual support in daily life.


＜What you can get out of this place and what you may experience

You will have the opportunity to interact with local people of various generations from Yufuin, as they will participate in the event together or come to the café as customers.

You will be able to learn not only Japanese cuisine, but also various cuisines of different countries from other woofers and local people. I think it is also a great opportunity for those who are not so interested in cooking to learn how interesting it can be.

The program includes breakfast, lunch, and dinner, as well as leftovers from the dishes prepared for lunch, or if that is not available, we can prepare and eat our own favorite dishes. Vegetarian and vegan woofers are welcome.

We usually work mainly in the café, but if the farmers who share their vegetables with us in the café ask us to help, we sometimes take a break from the store or go to help the farmers after the café is closed.

The café space is usually open for woofers until about 10 pm. You can talk, drink, play games, and listen to music with people from different countries and locals.

Wifi is available in all cafes and shared houses for woofers, so you will never have a problem with internet access.

It is a place that aims to be the opposite of a place of economic efficiency, pursuit of profit, and competition, so if you are tired of such a lifestyle, this may be an opportunity to take a break and reevaluate your way of living.

-----------------------------------------------------

　In our café, there is no price label on the dishes; customers decide what they want to pay and put it in the box after they eat. Also, there is no professional chef employed by the restaurant, and all staff members, including Woofer and others, volunteer to prepare the food. Each person is free to prepare and serve whatever dish he or she wishes to make that day.
　This attempt to guarantee a basic meal for a healthy life in the community, regardless of the economic situation at the time, has been in place since January 2016 and is gradually taking root.

WE ARE IN URGENT NEED OF WWOOFers!
As for foreign residents, we require that they have at least a beginner level of Japanese.
The atmosphere is heartwarming and homey, and we are sincerely grateful for the many woofers who joined us again last year. Our place is full of enriching experiences such as relaxing in a place to stay, growing natural & organic pesticide-free vegetables, working in the fields, chopping firewood, and more. In addition, excellent food awaits you, including handmade o-hagi (rice cakes), chestnut bean paste, sweet potatoes, and bread!

We can confidently recommend this tour for sightseeing in the region. Nara Prefecture is the region with the most World Heritage sites! Todaiji Temple, Nara Park, Kasuga Taisha Shrine, Horyuji Temple, Yoshinoyama Temple, and Yakushiji Temple are all within an hour's train ride. Furthermore, access to Osaka and Kyoto is only about an hour by car or train. Please enjoy enjoyable sightseeing on your holidays!

Our family, both adults and children, love to talk and look forward to many talks with different woofers.

And our non-profit organization supports the independence of young people who are not attending school (children with developmental disabilities) or who have withdrawn from school. If you are interested in supporting the independence of children, youth, and people with disabilities, I am sure we can provide you with a variety of information.

Notice. Our organization operates as a non-profit organization, and we provide support while taking into consideration our overall schedule. Once we have agreed to accept a woofer, we will make sure that the schedule is well organized. Therefore, if you decide to come, we ask that you do not cancel suddenly. Of course, we will accommodate you in case of unavoidable circumstances, so please contact us.

In addition, we require that foreign residents have at least a beginner's level of Japanese.

Furthermore, if you have any concerns, physical or mental problems, or disabilities related to our activities that may limit some of our activities, we would appreciate it if you could contact us in advance. We will do our best to accommodate your situation.

We are in our 14th year of hosting and have been active in the organization for over 30 years. We have had the pleasure of meeting many of you and have had many enjoyable interactions with you. We look forward to continuing to have a variety of enjoyable experiences with the people we have had the pleasure of meeting! If you are interested, please feel free to send us a message!

Hi, I’m Miyako, the manager of the Tanba Sasayama Agristation.

What we are
The Agristation, where you’ll be working, is an independent rural café and community centre catered towards young families with a plot of farmland and some animals. On the farmland we grow sweet potatoes and black edamame, a regional delicacy. We also have a rabbit and two goats and run our own English eikaiwa (academy).

What you’ll be doing
We’ve just started WWOOF and are looking for volunteers to join us to help out in various activities to keep this place running. This is varied, but mainly consists of: cleaning the café and library, taking care of the animals, cooking, washing dishes, farmwork and assisting English lessons. Typically volunteering is about 8 hours a day, 5 days a week (Tuesday to Saturday) and up to an hour taking care of the animals for the other 2 days. Twice a month you’ll get Saturdays off.

What we provide
What we offer.
Lodging, meals, and WiFi will be provided on-site. Accommodations may be in shared rooms. (It is possible that men and women will share a room, but we will make every effort to keep it private.)
In that case, please take your own breakfast and snacks from those provided. Lunch and dinner will be provided on volunteer days. Lunch will be with other WWOOFers, while dinner will be with me and my family. On weekends, you will usually cook your own meals, but occasionally my family and I will eat at the Agri-Station! Snacks are included in the meals provided.

Opportunity for cultural immersion
My family will be on site for much of the time, so you will have an experience similar to a homestay. We appreciate the richness that cultural exchange brings, and you will spend time with our family. I would like you to teach my children English and help with childcare. Also, since the Agristation is the center of the community, you will get to see everyday faces and get to know the local community. On weekends, we sometimes go out to local temples and festivals.

Location
We are based in the beautiful and peaceful suburbs of Tamba Sasayama. It has a quaint old town built in the Edo period and a castle. The agrestation itself is surrounded by rice fields and black edamame fields, with mountains in the background. Despite the quiet surroundings, the local convenience store is only a 5-minute bike ride away, and the nearest supermarket is only 10 minutes away. Kyoto, Osaka, and Kobe are also only an hour away by car (2 hours by public transportation).

About the Hosts and Their Families
I have been running Agristation since 2017. My husband and I have a son and three daughters ranging in age from 5 to 16. We love Ghibli movies, visiting shrines and temples, and exploring new places. I want to get my children to stop watching YouTube.

I’m a fairly hands on host, so you’ll see me nearly every day, so if you need my help I’m close by.

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!

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.
