Place: Sinkou-machi Nagano-shi, Nagano-ken



Sinkou-machi, where is 30 minutes far from Nagano-Station by car, is a country hill area with no sightseeing point.  But the place is known to people little by little as “the place of enjoyable countryside between who will appreciate it who can” spreading through word of mouth of the work camp participants. 
A few young people launched “Wakamono-kaigi (Conference of young residents)” in this February.  We wanted you who want to work for liven up local community with us!!

Organic rice making which have started from rice planting in May have gotten in second year. The season of rice reaping now.  We have tried to rice grow with no weed-killer, agrochemicals, chemical fertilizer, and manure.  We plan to make Japanese sake from the rice grow in the field with diverse living things.  Our Japanese sake will be a great taste and good for your health!  We named the project as “Oishinkou-no-sake project”.  The project have been begun to grow rice not using agricultural chemical.  The rice field hold many living things as frogs, tadpoles, dragonflies, larva of dragonflies, and so on.  We could even see lightning bugs in June, Japanese killifish as one of the endangered species in there.  We can rice reaping in such biological diversity place in this work camp.  
We plan to reap rice by hands with sickles as traditional way.  We also dry rice on “HAZA” by sun as traditional way, too.  The rice will be more taste using this way. 

Let’s go to “ONSEN (hot spring)” after work.  It will be very good experience for your body after got sweat body and tired muscle.  

Dinner will be a vegetable meal with mainly wild grass, herb and maybe mushroom that harvested in mountain near place.  You will keep good stomach whether you eat as much as you want.  You can eat dairy products, and sweets not using eggs producing by stuff who will open a coffee house in near future.  

We will have an ENKAI party at night as you expect!  You can taste “YAMAHAI-JYUNMAI-GENSHU-SAKUNOHANA (Japanese unprocessed sake made from organic KOSHIHIKARI)”.  It is mild Japanese sake, so you will not have a hangover next morning.  
A facility for accommodation will be one of rented housings of the local community development volunteer member’s.
