we are an artist couple live in the beautiful small-town by the sea called Ushimado, which is located in Setouchi area.
We are always looking for long-term volunteers for our renovation project of an old hospital building in exchange for bed and meals.

If you are artist, We also welcome artists in residence.
Please contact us for more detail.

[For Cyclists]
We are getting many same-day requests from cyclists recently.
However, our purpose of hosting is to exchange ideas and learning each other. We'd like to show you around my town and do things together like friends. If you are in a hurry to the next destination and only looking for a free accomodation, please search for others.

［For CouchFishermen]
I understand that travelers also want to have a choice of stay and secure your future accommodation. If you are couch surfer sending request to several hosts for the same date, I want you to understand that it’s very heartbreaking to receive a decline message “I found other host” from guests whom we already accepted their request.
