Restoration Sessions

Contribute to our mission of restoring Japan's beautiful rural townhouses and natural landscapes by volunteering on one of our build sites. We provide breakfast, lunch, and dinner for all of our volunteers. Sign-ups are free and open to all — Akiya Company guests and local residents alike!
