    Description

    Hello!
    We are a Japanese family living in the beautiful countryside of Nagasaki, Japan.
    We live on a 6 acre farm property, so we want to make the best use of the space in a sustainable way so we can enjoy it with family and friends.
    We are a relaxed family and look forward to welcoming new friends to our home! I can speak English, but even without strong English skills, my husband and kids also love interacting with workawayers!
    Hope to see you soon,
    Nozomi, Tetsu, Maruno, and Tsukino!




    - We will start accepting people again from February 2025. We will start accepting messages about 2025 in December 2024. To help us keep organised, please do not message us too far in advance!
