GenkiJACS is proud to announce a new course, in conjunction with Willing Workers On Organic Farms (WWOOF) Japan. Our WWOOF farmstay course involves two parts:
1. Japanese Study
At GenkiJACS' main school location in Fukuoka City, study the Japanese you will need to be able to participate fully in farm life. You will take four Japanese lessons per day, two in standard conversational Japanese, and two specifically geared towards living and working on a farm. During this time, you can choose to live with a Japanese family or in a private apartment.
2. Farmstay
When your study is complete, you will move to a nearby farm to begin your farmstay. As per the conditions of WWOOF membership, you can choose to stay for as long as you would like, up to a maximum of 6 months, or move to other farms within the WWOOF network.
GenkiJACS will arrange everything for you, from your accommodation during your study with us, to your WWOOF application, to helping you choose the best farm to start your stay.
Please note that this course is only available at certain times throughout the year, as follows:
Course start dates:
Third Monday of February
Third Monday of April
Third Monday of September
Third Monday of November
The standard course is for two weeks, but if you would like to study for longer, the WWOOF course can be combined with any of our other courses.
