An amazing experience provided by the most gentle and kind couple we have encountered in our travels. They made us feel part of the family from the very beginning and the food was out of this world. We cannot thanked them enough for their hospitality and warmth. A remarkable experience.

This was probably the best overnight experience you could possibly have. I love these folks who were our hosts and would 100% go out of my way when I come back to Japan to visit with them again. Not only was their home in the middle of what I'm sure was the inspiration for Totoro, but their cooking skills, humor, and generosity were second to none. Their passion for their way of life and excitement to share it with others is so fun to be around. You are honestly messing up if you do not book this right now. It is so far away from everything but that is absolutely one of the best parts. I'm pretty sure my husband is plotting to retire out there, language barrier be damned. Do it, you won't be sorry.

We had a lovely time learning about the area and Tea. Both dinner and breakfast were beautifully presented and had amazing flavors. I really enjoyed learning how to pick and dry the tea leaves. I would recommend this experience.

Farm Stay & Tea Experience w/ Dinner & Breakfast (Shizuoka)

Foodie Stays

We had an amazing time! We brought 12 Americans that spoke zero Japanese and were hoping for a truly cultural experience and this delivered! Out of everything we did in almost 3 weeks across Japan, this was everyone’s favorite. The family was so welcoming and friendly. And the food was incredible, some of the best we had in Japan. But just having the experience to break bread, tell stories and jokes with people from difficult cultures is really incredible and not something people take the time to do. It’s truly a beautiful experience. And the story behind why they began hosting is very touching. I am really doing a poor job of articulating how wonderful the experience was. Just know if you’re on the fence, do it, and you won’t be disappointed. To the family, thank you again and you’re always welcome to join us in Wisconsin!

The hosts were great! There are several buildings to stay in. We were the only group for our one night stay, but in theory I believe separate parties would each use a different building. We made takoyaki, and the hosts made tempura and katsu along with the star Matsusaka beef (bbq’ed and in sukiyaki), plus small side dishes. Way more food than we could possibly consume. Breakfast included homemade rice flour bread, and they sent us off with bentos as well. In fact, because our next stop was a 45 minute drive away (Ise), they drove us to our hotel to drop off our luggage and then dropped us off at Ise Jingu to save us the train ride. I wouldn’t get too excited over the vegetable garden; I don’t think we even ate the vegetables we picked, and if you’ve ever kept a small garden yourself it’s essentially the same experience.

Japan Farm Stay

Take a break outside Japan’s big cities and seize the unique opportunity to immerse yourself in rural life. During a Japan farm stay, you could learn about regional specialty dishes, like soba noodles made from locally harvested wheat and local water, or experience working on the farm, giving a hand to your host. Enter another world and find yourself rolling kiritanpo rice cakes in Akita or exploring tea fields in Shizuoka.
