Farmers’ homestay
Join us for a two-day, one-night experience at a farmhouse in Senboku City!
As part of the Akita International Student Exchange Promotion Conference, we have been offering international students from within Akita Prefecture the opportunity to take part in agricultural work and to enjoy a homestay experience with farmers since 2012. Every year, we hold two agricultural experience programs: the first is the “Agricultural Experience Tour” in October, where participants stay at a farmhouse and work on the farm while interacting with the farmers, and the second is the “Harvest Thanksgiving Tour” in November, where participants cook with the harvested crops. International students are invited to make Nishiki-machi, Senboku City, their third home in addition to their home in Akita Prefecture, where Akita University is located, and engage in meaningful encounters and learning. We are really looking forward to welcoming you to the farm!
