We are a family of 6, Japanese and American couple and the kids who speak both Japanese and English. We are interested in meeting new people and learning from them about their world. Our biggest interests at the moment are our kids and their future with more holistic, cooperative and creative approach.

We are moving to a new town called Hanaizumi in Ichinoseki city, Iwate prefecture.
So we are very new to the town, and at this point we will probably be discovering as much with you:)
You can gain experiences of living in an old Japanese house in a countryside. Brian (Dad/Husband) will be doing lots of DYI and hopefully some gardening so whatever knowledge he can pass down, you will be able to acquire. We are also interested in learning these things from workawayers ourselves!

Ayuda
We are looking for someone who is;
-Someone who has an experience with DIY and building with hands.
-Someone who can have fun with and be patient with children.
We need help with DYI projects around the house. If you have professional knowledge and skill, it would be super helpful.
We have four children; ages 12, 9, 7 and 5. It is very important that you also have some experience being around children, have patience and curiosity while interacting, engaging, and playing with them.
Idiomas hablados
Inglés: Fluido
Japonés: Fluido
Alojamiento
You will have a private room, but the rest of the house is shared with our family. Meals are provided in that we welcome you to eat with us and share in what is prepared; the cuisine is homestyle Japanese and simple.
We would like your help keeping the house in order. We will not ask you to do our household chores or clean the toilet, but we do ask you to clean up after yourself and help out... just like a member of the family would.
Algo más...
As mentioned above, when we welcome someone into our home, we treat them like a member of the family and we would like them to return the same consideration:
Please conserve energy and water
Please keep the house and amenities clean
Please keep cell phone use to a minimum around children (We do not have TV in the house. We try not to be on our phone or computer when our children are around.)
