Iām skipping this weekās video because itās been a week of little things like installing bamboo blinds, insect mesh, buying lamps from Ikea, talking to the butcher, and lots of boring administrative work. More substantial updates in next Saturdayās video, I promise!

Itās been raining all week here and Iāve been busy planting rice, cutting grass, and laser engraving the tea boxes so that they can be sent out early next week.
That left little time to record a video, so thereās no video this weekend ā big update next weekend!

Ryunohara is a place for people to reconnect with nature through tea and rice planted with no fertilisers, herbicides, or pesticides. We are located deep in the mountains of Wakayama, Japan, in a village called Ryujinmura.
You can book a stay at Ryunohara Hatago, a 120-year-old farmhouse that has been restored with modern amenities, dine at the main house next door under a kayabuki thatched roof, prance around with the resident goats Deko, Honda, and Makita, and cuddle with our Ryujin chickens (some of only 300 left in the world). Book here: airbnb.com/h/Ryunohara.
We also have a volunteer programme, where you can come stay for 3-4 weeks to work on And if you're interested in booking a stay here: forms.gle/QX1BiR4bo8SkdDJu5
