For my first solo trip as well as my first accommodation on Worldpackers, Chuck made me feel welcome to be of help to the farm. I had a very comfortable stay and learned a lot about organic farming and sustainability. Chuck provided me with lots of help with transportation, groceries, and learning how to do farm work. I would highly recommend the farm to travellers and would love to come back!

It was great to experience the country side of Japan for two weeks. Chuck is very keen to tell you his knowledge about farming and about what to do in the area. I had a wonderful experience staying at the farm!
