What it is like hosting a farm stay in Japan.

A few times a year we act as hosts for farm stay students from larger cities in Japan who haven't experienced the countryside. This is what we and many people do to show them what the countryside life is like.

Early next year i plan to expand my rural Japan cafe to include rescuing stray cats in my area to turn it into a unique Cat Cafe. Any help is very much appreciated.

I was on the edge of my seat for the least dramatic build up hahaha, I can tell I'm getting older now because I was rooting for it and my kids were like, "what are you talking about?" 😂

[@user-cx1yb4ug9t]

"movement at the station" , so endearingly Aussie for "finally something's happening".

[@GeneralChase]

LOL seems like the old guy wasn't the only one who wanted to use it.

[@RealRuralJapan]

This old guy couldn't help himself either!

[@treasurechest1993]

He's one the microphone, meawhile everyone just keeps on with their own conversations.

[@stephenfreeman8617]

Maybe it’s their love of karaoke 👏 and the microphone is part of that.

I lived in Gunma-ken for three years, and seeing this stuff takes me back. These things that you just can't explain to people when you get back home.

[@RealRuralJapan]

Gunma is nice.

Japanese gentleman with mike sharing details of the event in Japanese: conversations continue, no one notices. Steve with mike sharing shoutouts in Aussie: conversations pause, then everyone waves. There is a learning here, but for the life of me, I cant figure it out. 😎👍

[@scottmiller299]

beautiful property

[@RealRuralJapan]

Cheers

[@cocolenchojapan]

I keep my neighbors happy with takenoko 😊

[@RealRuralJapan]

Nice work. I am actually eating some right now for breakfast chopped up in my miso soup as i type!

[@virtuallycasey6121]

That was great. I would have loved an excursion like that in high school. The weather looked lovely too. I love the sound of frogs and birds in your creek area and the sound of a crackling fire. Fun video! Everyone looked happy.

[@pripri3404]

Loved your microphone shoutout, lol.

[@thadtuiol1717]

Pro tip guys: Think twice about accepting an invitation to a Japanese wedding. Not only will you have to endure near endless speeches like this, but you'll be expected to fork out 30,000 yen for the privilege.

[@RealRuralJapan]

That made me laugh.

[@bentonhomestead]

Very entertaining, hahaha. Looking forward to when we can come visit for a farm tour too. Dinner and dessert looks delicious :)

[@RealRuralJapan]

Cheers looking forward to it!

[@mobpsy1526]

What are they talking about so much when the students sit there? Guess they train them for the endless meetings you mentioned.

[@VagueRANT100]

the HAT GUY should have been a politician!!!

[@acholosjourney]

The shout outs! You're too funny brah Aloha

[@thorstenh]

Your commentary was so funny!

[@RealRuralJapan]

Cheers Thorsten!

[@TenYen4796]

Soon I'll be in Japan....I rather be on that side of the video 😀

[@HeatherMims-mu4hx]

Hello Steve! Great video.

🎉 noice.....

[@MareikeCookie]

Hello, you're content is amazing, you're giving a good glimps on the rural japanese life. Is it also possible for someone from overseas to come and help on your farm or is it only possible for japanese students?

[@RealRuralJapan]

I don't have a farming operation yet i only supply my own cafe but if you want to travel around Japan doing this HelpX Japan is the best. You don't need a working visa you just do volunteer work, and the farmer supplies you with food and accommodation. I have met quite a few people who have used this, and they all spoke highly of it.

[@chappiescollectables]

​@@RealRuralJapanthat's great to know!

[@MareikeCookie]

Thank you very much, I've never heard of this organisation, I only knew WWOOF. Maybe HelpX would be the right thing!

[@GregK235]

Very cool to see such activities. Did you get any "ookini"s from the visitors?

[@RealRuralJapan]

I had to check my wife as i never heard of it. She said adults use it not so much the young people.

[@yogiSan]

Do you get Mukade up there??

[@RealRuralJapan]

Yep

[@MrGhostsword]

enjoying these videos.. do you have like an hostel or something? would be awesome to book a day or two in the village, a proper japanese rural experience.

[@RealRuralJapan]

My friend Shinobu has an Airbnb home stay just near my house.

[@BigBowl9]

This is cool, is it possible to do this with limited japanese?

[@RealRuralJapan]

My Japanese is pretty amateur and i manage.

[@richardlau2447]

I’m 65 and fit, can I visit and do farmstay for 2 or 3 weeks?

[@RealRuralJapan]

HelpX Japan you can do this all round Japan. Check it out.

[@stephenfreeman8617]

Chicken breast dish looked fine to me Steve 👏

[@RealRuralJapan]

Tasted good and they liked it so that is the main thing.

[@SlenderHime]

Is this a regular thing? Farming with students?

[@RealRuralJapan]

Every year some schools send students to our village.

[@SlenderHime]

@@RealRuralJapan i see, while in there you are the cool uncle for them lol
