For some reasons, we have been unable to accommodate any guest from overseas at our inn for a while.
If you want to come over to our farm for fruit picking and stay for overnight, please find any accommodation by your own. There are several inns and hotels nearby our farm and also a lot more in Kofu area. Yet, if you want to help us as volunteers, we have a nice dorm and you can join us and do some farming experiences. For this case, you can do Farm Stay on our orchard. We will provide you a nice accommodation and nice meals.
If you seek for payed job, you must bring working holiday visa and talk to us first and take interview besides sending us some documents.
In both cases of staying as volunteers & paid workers, you need to bring health insurance that can cover to protect you out of any injuries and sickness while you are staying here. Also, we appreciate if you can bring international driving permit.
Nakagomi Orchard |
Concept: Nakagomi Orchard's inn & Farm Stay Program |
I can be your English speaking guide while you are staying at the inn and when you are enjoying fruit picking on the farm. In addition, if you want, I can be your lecturer and talk about Japanese farming issues at night for free over having dinner or tea. That way, your trip can be a lot more meaningful, I believe, since most of our customers are from city areas. Kazu |
Location | It is located in a very quiet, peaceful area and is only a few minutes' drive from our fruit farm. The inn is surrounded by orchards, vege farm and rice fields with mountains nearby. You can see Mt. Fuji and the Yatsugatake Range very clearly on sunny days. |
Accommodation | The house has a traditional Japanese style with a nice Japanese garden. Only 4-5 rooms can be provided for our customers to use right now.They are mostly tatami mat rooms. Therefore, if you make your reservation in advance, it would be much appreciated. |
