Ryunohara's Year in Review: 2023
2023 was a year of firsts - the volunteer programme began, we started farming rice on larger pieces of land with a new source of water, and then we renovated a volunteer house and started Ryunohara Hatago. Join me in this review of 2023, and here's to 2024, the Year of the Dragon.

About Ryunohara: Ryunohara is a place for people to reconnect with nature through tea and rice planted with no fertilisers, herbicides, or pesticides. We are located deep in the mountains of Wakayama, Japan, in a village called Ryujinmura.
You can book a stay at Ryunohara Hatago, a 120-year-old farmhouse that has been restored with modern amenities, dine at the main house next door under a kayabuki thatched roof, prance around with the resident goats Deko, Honda, and Makita, and cuddle with our Ryujin chickens (some of only 300 left in the world).
