I have questions for younger generation who are not residing in Japan, but have considered it.

1. Would you be interested in travelling to Japan to work on a farm?
> No specific farm, it might be anything.

2. What modern conveniences do you require?
> Heating, Hot Water, Internet, Electricity, Rice-Cooker, Computer...

3. What is the minimal sq. ft. of personal living space you require?
> 20 x 20, 10 x 10...

4. Would you work the 4/2/1 day?
> Explanation: 4 work day, 2 free day, 1 society day - In contrast to 5 work day, 2 free day

5. Would occasional cultural exchanges/group volunteering be interesting, or not interesting?
> On previously mentioned ↑ society day - Society day might have more varying purposes.

This is speculation, but there is possibility of starting something with various local areas.

No problem if you are older, and this is just speculation.

To expand on the meaning of the society day, it is not work day, but also not free day. Society day will likely benefit the local area, in this sense it can be many things.

I wouldn't pause my life for a year to work in a farm anywhere.

It is not the physical work, it is setting everything aside and then having to pick it up again against people with more time doing the stuff than me.
If it would add anything to myself it would have no problems doing so but i would rather pause my life to construct a vilage in Congo than having an average farmer life at Japan

>> No.12144907

1. Maybe. I've always been interested in farms and farm animals so I could see myself being okay with working on one.

2. What modern conveniences do you require?
> Heating, Hot Water, Internet, Electricity, Rice-Cooker, Computer...
All of the above.

3. No set dimensions, but a small room is okay. Just as long as I have enough room for a bed, computer desk and clothes storage thing.

4. Sure, 4/2/1 that sounds good.

5. I guess it depends on the activity, but if its something to do then that's good.

I'd actually be interested in doing this, but I'm going to move to Canada to live with my partner very soon and we aren't planning on moving out of the continent, so maybe next time. I also have shit for physical strength and my Japanese is shit as well. I've been a NEET for five years and the lack of income is starting to get pretty frustrating, so having some sort of work would be nice, you know?

>1. Would you be interested in travelling to Japan to work on a farm?
Yes only if the work entails light duty such as picking berries for an hour or two in the morning before it gets too hot out. If you expect me to dig holes or clean up after livestock then fuck off. I know for a fact that most farmwork is brutal, back-breaking labor so don't think you can trick me.

>2. What modern conveniences do you require?
Everything you listed, basically what a modern apartment would provide. Also a 100+mbps connection. Also room service, I want free pizza and chinese food delivery.

>3. What is the minimal sq. ft. of personal living space you require?
I would be content with about 300 sq ft, a personal bathroom is an absolute requirement. I would also like to have a garage with a lift, air compressor, and several roll around boxes filled with good tools like Mac or Snap-On.

>4. Would you work the 4/2/1 day?
Sounds okay, how much do we get paid again?

>5. Would occasional cultural exchanges/group volunteering be interesting, or not interesting?
Yeah I want to go to soaplands and get my dick sucked, will there be a tough looking japanese dude to escort me so I feel safer around the yakuza guys who run the places?

P.S. I also have about a dozen firearms, including several semi automatic ``assault weapons''. I would need to be able to take them so exemptions must be made to japan's laws.

Is this a thinly veiled WWOOF recruitment thread?

>> No.12145149

>>12144784
If you want input from a 33 years old guy that lived in Japan for a few years...

1. Would you be interested in travelling to Japan to work on a farm?
Yeah, I don't mind something like milk cows, but something like working in a paddy field is perhaps too much. Also some very rural areas of Japan are REALLY rural...

2. What modern conveniences do you require?
Electricity and perhaps Internet are a must. If the house doesn't have a bathtub or shower the hot water is unnecessary.

3. What is the minimal sq. ft. of personal living space you require?
I lived in a 5 square meter room with shared restroom and kitchen, without bathtub nor shower. That is probably the bare minimum. In a 20 square meter apartment with non shared bathroom and kitchen I lived quite comfy.

4. Would you work the 4/2/1 day?
Depends on the salary. I worked like that for 6 months (not in Japan, though) and was unable to pay all the monthly bills by myself.

5. Would occasional cultural exchanges/group volunteering be interesting, or not interesting?
Depends of the community. I had a few bad race based discriminations while in Japan and I don't think some farm oriented community would be very foreigner friendly...

OP, you realize what you are suggesting sounds a lot like "WWOOF"

>1. Would you be interested in travelling to Japan to work on a farm?
Sure, but it depends on if my boss or host knows english well enough for me to direct correctly, I wouldnt want to upset my boss because I dont understand him/her.
I know very limited japanese, but im willing to learn.

>2. What modern conveniences do you require?
Running Water, Electricity, Basic Food, Modest pay for the work I do in order to buy things while in the country.

>3. What is the minimal sq. ft. of personal living space you require?
I'm 6'0'', enough room to stretch out, and a little bit of space to store personal items.

>4. Would you work the 4/2/1 day?
How many hours a day?
I would be willing to work 4 days a week.

>5. Would occasional cultural exchanges/group volunteering be interesting, or not interesting?
Depends on the varying purposes, I don't want to be abused as a slave lol.
Cultural exchanges sound fun, do you mean exchanging information about mine and your culture?

Hi, it is possibly, be sure it is fair for you, see below for example of the WWOOF.

>>12145129
>>12145151
Hi, this is not regarding WWOOF Japan.

WWOOF requires membership fee, both host and volunteers. The duration of stay is normally not long, it has not long-term stay in mind. You are required to pay for travel costs. WWOOF provides farmers cheap labor, they are called 'volunteers' for reason.

This is potential personal project which is different, the farms will be Gaijin-operated, with year-round employment possibility. This means you share job and home with others, this allows many types of jobs, not just labor.

That is the idea, very different and should not be compared. Also, I would tell more specifics, but it is early.

>>12145099
Hi, I did not respond to >>12144915 because it seems joke.

Effectively all of the above, I can live with no PC as long as i have my tablet with me and an access to internet that is relatively stable.

Something around 10x10 should be enough to live rather comfortable, presuming cooking area ain't included in that 10x10

That sort of schedule to work seems reasonable enough, though depends from what the work hours are.

Hi, yes, I am Japanese. I reside America currently.

>If the camp or compound is Gaijin-run, how often would we be working with japanese people?
Not camp or compound, farm. Imagine to sell produce, the efforts alone require interaction. Also, I mean primarily Gaijin-run, Japanese might reside also.

>If this is a farm or place with more than just labor jobs, what kind of place would this be? A nature park? or some sort of factory?
I have many partner and friends, currently I think probably large greenhouses and field, variety of produce. That is one possibility, not common in Japan.

>Are you looking for youthful men mainly? or are you also looking for women "volunteers"
Probably any. 'Volunteers' is WWOOF term. I state this has nothing to do with WWOOF, it is job and home opportunity in Japan, NOT cheap labor for Japanese farmers aka WWOOF.

Doing farmer things in Japan could be fun, way back in high school the family of one of my friends participated in an agricultural exchange program where some japanese farmers came to work at their orchard and see how stuff works in america. They were pretty cool dudes and seemed to have a good time.

I'd probably be willing to do something similar, though I'm not sure about the mechanics you suggest. Does the person get any sort of compensation for their work, such as a small food stipend, or is it just a free room? Or are you looking for more of a commune?

Hi, I shall explain.

Japanese agriculture is dying, farmers are old, they work few hours.

This makes produce is expensive in Japan, we import many. Also, a result is farmland is very cheap.

I mean no offense by stating Gaijin-run farm, it is only true that Japanese are not interested. Possibly some special jobs might be to apprentice Japanese farmers, it is a concern for me.

I want to solve by creating self-operating, primarily Gaijin-run farmhomes with capability of year-round produce. Thank you for asking.

That mostly depends on what kind of work would be involved, I wouldn't want to do only physical labor all the time, but operating heavy machinery, driving tractors, etc? Hell yes.

Fast internet, computer, hot water+shower or bath. A kitchen to cook my own meals would be nice, but not required.

It can be any size as long as it's a personal room that I don't have to share with anyone. A personal bathroom would also be highly preferred.

1. Yes but where will we be working in Japan ? Who's going to pay for the plane ? How are we going to the farm ?

2. at east a bit of Heating at cold seasons , Hot water is not necessary for me , internet + computershould be there so even if there is not much to do in the area we will probably be able to relax when we are not working , and also not be absolutely isolated from the rest of the world and get news from our family/countries , ....
about food , if we are doing physical work , you want your farmers to be healthy , i dont care about food so you should find out what is an healthy way of eating for us , since your farm is made for money you can find the cheapest aswell , i dont care as i said i dont enjoy food that much , here at least , so as long as you dont make us starve .

3. I dont really personnal space , what i mean is for exemple you put all the beds in one room , all the computers ( if there are some ) in another , and so on , it's fine with me

4. sounds ok but you ll need to give a bit more of information about what's on your mind like the number of hours of work , the details on the society day , what we are allowed to do on free day

5. Well i dont know about culutral exchange , whta do you mean ? basicaly if we are going to work there and leave everything behind it must mean we really want to know what japan is so if it's with japanese it's good , if it's like something else i dont see the point , at least for us , but you might have business purpose in head or something else

Also , will you give us something to learn japanese , like books or else , because it is important to be able to speak the language of the country you live in

I really think this is an interesting concept. However I think you'd find a lot of people rather wanting to do English teaching even if it's not in Japan simply because of the relative difficulty. I'm past College age but I guess I can answer as if I was in college. Right now I have family members to care for and this wouldn't be something I can really do.

>1. Would you be interested in travelling to Japan to work on a farm?
I think maybe I would have been when I was in college. I really didn't like school and got a degree for no reason, and I sure don't use it now.

>2. What modern conveniences do you require?
Hot Water, heat, and Internet. When I was in college I only ate rice and had Internet and heat, that's it.

>3. What is the minimal sq. ft. of personal living space you require?
I can see some people being okay with 10x10 rooms but I think some people might want more than that. I'd probably be fine with anything, I actually lived in a 4x8 closet for about half a year, just with my laptop and bed.

>4. Would you work the 4/2/1 day?
I would personally be fine with this.

>5. Would occasional cultural exchanges/group volunteering be interesting, or not interesting?
It could be interesting but would this be the kind of thing you'd supply translators for? It seems that anyone who is even slightly bilingual could manage something better, unless they have a really big interest in farming already.

Why do your farms need to be run by foreigners? What do the logistics for transporting and accommodating a whole bunch of foreign workers for physical labor look like? This isn't like the US-Mexico labor relationship, the foreigners aren't willing to work any more or get paid any less.

3. What is the minimal sq. ft. of personal living space you require?

Not much i could live comfortably in 20x20. 10x10 would be way too cramped

4. Would you work the 4/2/1 day?

Yes i would

5. Would occasional cultural exchanges/group volunteering be interesting, or not interesting?

Sounds interesting to me

>1. Would you be interested in travelling to Japan to work on a farm?
Not particularly, I prefer using technology. I technically have some experience with yard work, but that is mostly from my mother's terrible yard plans, and that she would buy any tree saplings she saw on sale, and make me and my younger brother plant them.

>2. What modern conveniences do you require?
If I went, I would hope for internet, Heating, Hot water, electricity, access to cooking supplies, and some cooling system, whether or not it was A/C doesn't matter unless it gets really hot (>90 F).

>3. What is the minimal sq. ft. of personal living space you require?
I could probably survive on 10 x 10, but I honestly would prefer 20 x 20 because I pace a lot.

>4. Would you work the 4/2/1 day?
Probably.

>5. Would occasional cultural exchanges/group volunteering be interesting, or not interesting?
I would be interested, but I am incredibly Introverted so I might or might not actually attend.

For me, though, I would have to ask what the work hours would be, and they would likely be the reason I do not go, as I am not very strong physically, as well as I have low stamina, so that limits what jobs I willingly take.

Education is free in Finland (the only mandatory expense for me was the membership fee for the university's student union, which was about 100€ for one academic year) and if you live alone you get a student welfare of 479€ / month, so there isn't really any need for parents to pay anything.

Definitely. I can't take a lot of physical labor myself, but I've got some subsistence farming experience and am willing to learn and do more. Pay's what mostly motivates me, but I'd really like to do something I love, and farming's one of those things.

>2. What modern conveniences do you require?

If I'm allowed to bring my own Computer, I will. If not, then add that.

Anywhere between 20x20 and 15x15. I'm used to living in single student dorms.

Yes! I'd love that. Giving some back to the community one day of the week seems actually much more fun than an extra work week.

It would be interesting, definitely. Learning about other cultures is part of why we travel, isn't it?

I have to say, I love this initiative/idea. I know what you mean about the younger generations not living the farming lifestyle. My country's pretty lucky to have a 50% rural-living population, but further towards the West, things aren't as bright on the agricultural front. And, have a great day.

Hi, to answer your questions,

>1. Would you be interested in travelling to Japan to work on a farm?
I have lived in a rural/agriculture town all my life and have previous farm/ranch work experience since age 8. Absolutely.

>2. What modern conveniences do you require?
Bare minimum. Call me casual, but I could easily stop using any wired sources that I currently use and only watch movies or play games on a hand-held device for the rest of my life. I could also create music or travel in my spare time.

>3. What is the minimal sq. ft. of personal living space you require?
Whatever can accomodate a 6' 2" 240 lbs. male. I am more flexible/open than your average American.

>4. Would you work the 4/2/1 day?
Only if it covers my health care and living expenses while still allowing me to save up at least 30% of my total income for medium-long term goals each month then yes.

>5. Would occasional cultural exchanges/group volunteering be interesting, or not interesting?
I am interested in cultural exchanges about your culture, but you might not find my culture as exciting as yours. Americans aren't actually at all what every country makes then out to be.

>This is speculation, but there is possibility of starting something with various local areas.

It's about the same in The Netherlands as far as I know. You can also travel for free by train/bus during schooldays (you can't on saturdays and sundays). But if you fuck up your school / don't get your degree, you have to pay back everything you've used. You still have to pay for your books and college money though, but you also get about 100 euro per month for free to cover most of that up just because you're a student. And just like in Finland, you can get up to 500 euro per month if you don't live with your parents because your school is located far away, and taking the train/bus would be too inconvenient.

On the other side, people pay enormous taxes in this country. That's where all the money comes from.

1. Would you be interested in travelling to Japan to work on a farm?

Sure! If it could be anything, working at an orchard -style of farm might be nice, but I'm okay with any farm. I would take the heavy labor as a way to better myself physically regardless.

I would still like to continue my studies in a school though, so I hope I have enough free time for that!

2. What modern conveniences do you require?

I don't know how cold or hot Japan gets so heating and an AC sounds nice. I doubt I'll be spending that much time in my room, depending on how busy I am, but a computer and internet would be all right. Other than that, I just want the freedom to customize my room as time goes on.

Yes. 18 years old and in shape for the most part so no problem with farm work.

Heating and hot are water would be nice but definitely required. I would need access to food, electricity, and internet. And my laptop I suppose. But the bare minimum I'd be fine with is food and water.

10x10 would be fine.

Yes.

Sounds interesting actually.
