Very good experience of exchange!
Hello, I'm here to tell you that I'm doing about ten days of wwoofing near OKAYAMA.
It is a very good experience of exchange.
A farm that grows "Daikons" and Chinese cabbage, corn, onions, radishes and other vegetables!
I am very well received and the atmosphere is excellent with my hosts and the entire work team.
In November 2019 I had already been to this farm and I had a lot of fun coming back this year in March 2024.
Really fantastic.
Thank you for allowing me to discover the agricultural face of Japan.

Probably the greatest experience of my life
My WWOOF experience in Japan has been probably the greatest experience of my life so far.
I will be ready for another wwoof in Japan.

I learned a lot that I could never learn from a book
It was my first WWOOFing experience, and it was extraordinary.
My main aim was to meet Japanese people and speak Japanese language.
After one week, I was much more confident talking to people in Japanese.
The host was so well organized. It was a great joy for me being part of the host’s everyday life. I felt so much compassion and patience underlying in every moment I was there. Nobody is perfect. But this place shows how perfect a group of people can be when they are united with love. I learned a lot that I could never learn from a book or film. Living together with them gave me an opportunity to make observations from inside.
Every day I was doing different things to help. So I was learning new words and knowing new people and getting different instructions.

The home cooked food was AMAZING!
From the moment you enter, the hospitality the G-family showers on you make you feel at home instantly. The traditional Japanese house is fully functioning and spacious, with good facilities that exceeded my expectations, even as a city dweller. The home cooked food was nothing short of AMAZING and probably the most authentic food I've eaten in Japan!! Many ingredients were from farm-to-table and the freshness is unbeatable. Working on the farm did not feel like work at all, as I got to learn many things as G-san patiently answered all our questions. I enjoyed every moment of it! From feeding chickens, to tying up tomato plants and washing the plant trays at the paddy field. When we had some free time, I looked forward to cycling around this community in the evenings and just taking in the countryside or going to the food marts.
