We are a pear farmer family of five with three children, farming pears, rice and a small amount of chemical-free vegetables. You can enjoy picking and cooking wild plants in spring, play at Saji-gawa river in summer, and enjoy the beautiful starry sky on a sunny day. It's cool at night so we don't need an air conditioner. How about to enjoy cooking rice in the wood-fired stove in Japanese traditional way?
