Voices of planners and participants The biggest attraction of Kuroki's work camp is the warmth of the local people. The local people do not treat the members who came to the work camp excessively specially, but treat them kindly and intimately. People in such areas will surely help. When the camp is over, there should be a lot of things to gain at the same time as a sense of accomplishment. Please have fun. (Past leader)
Other activities Other activities Join the local events, many opportunities to learn the local wisdom, etc. Sightseeing, short trip (hot springs, famous places here).
