Next availability: Please inquire Hi there, I’m Leon. Through COVID, I saw how serious not having food self sufficiency could be, and started to think about agriculture. Currently, I work at a strawberry farm, invested in a vegetable farm, and just got started on a yuzu farm. The average age of farmers in Japan is at 69.2 (as of 2024) and is set to worsen. There is a serious lack of young people choosing to do agriculture. Your help will be truly appreciated by the farmers here. I started my learning journey in agriculture through volunteering, so I want to create similar opportunities for others to learn, and hopefully inspire people to choose agriculture. I will try my best to give you a meaningful experience during your time here! Please let me know if you have any other skills you can contribute! Where is this? Himeji city of Hyogo prefecture. Himeji city has a population of ~500k people, and is considered “inaka” or countryside by many Japanese people. You can get away from the ...

※Hello, fellow adventurers! Due to a few recent cancellations, I now have availability from April onward. Winter in Kumihama is a beautiful and quiet season, with snowy scenery, fresh local oysters, and relaxing hot springs. But more than that, it’s a time to enjoy everyday life together — cooking, talking, laughing, and sharing simple moments when we are together at home. I’m happy to welcome social, open-minded, and positive volunteers who enjoy communicating, staying active, and bringing good energy into daily life. This is a shared-life experience rather than just a work exchange.

About Us I live with three roommates in a very old house in Toshima Ward, Tokyo. My roommates are Japanese and Nepali, including a queer woman. They enjoy anime, games, and music. Japanese is our common language. I'm an IT engineer who works at home, and they are a voice actor and a student. If you answer all questions of my profile, you have a better chance to be accepted.

The average age of farmers in Japan is close to 70 years old. Many farmers don't have successors, and as they age out, they can no longer work their farmland, leading to the farmland getting abandoned. Also, when they pass on, their precious knowledge will disappear with them too. Food self-sufficiency and security will become a major concern if this trend continues. We are start up farmers, founded in 2024 in order to tackle this growing concern. We will become the next generation of farmers, learning and taking over the reins from the previous generation. We hope you will come and help us, learn about agriculture, and take part in the opportunities to carry on agriculture in Japan. We are located in Awa City of Tokushima Prefecture. Awa City is considered rural Japan. It is quiet and peaceful here, especially at night. There are many shrines, temples and hiking areas. Our members Hide is our main point of contact at the farmhouse. He can speak English too. He will take care of yo...

We're a lo-fi, older style guesthouse with only around 10 rooms. Right on the edge of two of the most interesting historic neighbourhoods of Kyoto! Secluded somewhat in a discreet side street, everything you could otherwise want is at a mere stone's throw away. Our goal is to provide clean and comfortable accommodation for guests visiting Kyoto, as well as providing opportunities to do language/culture/study exchanges. The most common so far has been language exchange. You can help us by maintaining the cleanliness of the facilities, as well as creating any improvements that will hopefully help to enhance the general atmosphere. Creative initiatives are welcome! Hours can be pretty loose and flexible - although we have a default plan of five-hour shifts four times a week. (You also get to sleep in, since business hours are from 12pm to 11pm.) You'll therefore have plenty of time to get to know Kyoto and Kansai (nearby Osaka, Kobe, Nara etc.), and or spend time studying language or wha...
