Rural Village Volunteer 'Wakaba's Hometown Cooperation Team' in Ueno Village, Gunma Prefecture

A short-term program where you experience life in a rural village through assisting in farming activities and participating in local events. The village has the smallest population in the Kanto region. Is there nothing compared to the city? No, because of that, Ueno Village has a rich life. Let’s encounter the mountains, clear streams, and people (and possibly animals) of Ueno Village, and feel a different way of life from the city! The activities include farming experience, making local dishes, mountain climbing, woodworking, plant dyeing, BBQ, and interaction with villagers and migrants. ■Notes The application deadline is September 10 (Wed). Since the capacity is 3 people, please apply early!
