【Living together under one roof】
The farming experience was a one-week experience. Farm work usually began at 8:30 in the morning, finishing around 12:00 and returning to the house.
We had lunch at the house and then had free time. Those who wanted to help out farmers more could go out to the farming sites. Those who wanted to do their own work could work. Those who wanted to hang out could hang out. Completely free. And then dinner. Then bed. That was the basic schedule.
The house we were staying is renovated into the public accommodation from a private house that will likely become abandoned and demolished in the near future.
Now air conditioning, Wi-Fi, a bathroom, a laundry dryer, a wide-screen TV, cooking utensils and ingredients provided. So the old house was transformed into an incredibly comfortable house.
As for meals, side dishes were provided by the people who runs a restaurant in the area where we were helping out the farmers. Cooked food was brought to us in airtight containers once every three days (menus were posted on the fridge). We can heat it up in the microwave, cook rice with an electric rice cooker, or whatever you like.
As for ways to spend your time outside of farm work, for example..., taking a walk around the neighborhood, seeing how the crops are sold at the vegetable market, going to a public bath or hot spring, or going to a local sake shop.
After farm work or after having a fun until evening, it would be pretty tired for us to cook a meal. Thanks to the meal support, we were able to continue working for the farmers without any difficulty.
Thanks so much to the people who produced this experience, the farmers who taught us how to farm, the people who supported our food, and the local people who welcomed us so warmly.
Thank you so much for everything.
