Once A Decade Cold Front in Japan - WE SURVIVED!
Will we survive Japan's coldest cold front in a decade? After a brief water outage due to bursting pipes I've upgraded the insulation with heated cables, just in time to greet our first Ryunohara Volunteer, Mary-Ann! Work's progressing at breakneck speed at Ryunohara Hatago and it's all hands on deck.

APPLICATIONS FOR VOLUNTEERS NOW CLOSED: I'm no longer accepting volunteer applications for now because we have filled all the available spots till June 2023. Thank you for the enthusiasm and interest in the Volunteer Programme!

About Ryunohara: Ryunohara is a kominka cafe nestled deep in the mountains of Ryujinmura, Wakayama Prefecture.
We make our own tea from wild tea plants, and serve it at Ryunohara Kissa, where we also serve stewed meats, fried rice, seasonal pastas and other dishes that showcase ingredients from across the Kishu region. We also serve pesticide-free, chemical fertiliser-free rice that we've grown ourselves, and as many vegetables sourced from within Ryujinmura as possible.
The two buildings on the property are traditionally-built 60 and 120 year-old minka (farmhouses), and there will be another 2 farmhouses that will be renovated into guesthouses in 2023.
