To prevent coronavirus infection, please wash your hands, disinfect with alcohol, and gargle thoroughly every time you enter a room from outside. Please keep your room clean for the next guest.
If you have vomited or defecated, please be sure to clean up after yourself.
The second floor is a warehouse, and there are no handrails, making it dangerous. Please do not climb the stairs or enter the building.

Please do not open fire near propane gas cylinders. Please be very careful when handling fire.
If the power is turned off due to excessive use of electricity, wait 15 seconds and the power will be restored. If the power does not come back on, it is a power failure. In the unlikely event of a power failure while the manager is not present, please contact us. We will consult with you about possible measures.

[About garbage segregation].
Please rinse cans, bottles, and PET bottles clean with water and separate them into designated bags.
Food scraps should be placed in a colander in the sink. If it is full, please separate it into the designated compost bin located outside. (Do not put paper or plastic together.)
Please also put paper trash, etc. in the designated trash cans.

Please do not build bonfires, etc.
Please do not build fires directly on the ground, but use a fire pit. Please use a fire pit instead of a fire pit. Please be very careful not to start a forest fire and clean up after yourself.
The eaves of the terrace are made of polycarbonate resin. Never use the eaves for BBQ, bonfires, or fireworks, as the eaves will be deformed by heat.

Fireworks
Fireworks should be set off in designated areas. Fill a bucket with water and place the bucket in front of the fireplace. After the fire is sufficiently extinguished, dispose of it with burnable garbage.

About electric fences in rice paddies
Electric fences have been installed around the rice paddies to prevent wild boars. Never approach the fence to avoid electric shock. We cannot compensate for any injuries or accidents.

About "as-is" and "as-needed".
Please return the guesthouse, garden, camp site, and rice paddies to their current state before leaving. Everything in these areas is necessary. Please do not pull out any stakes or move any stones or timbers.
Never put stones or sticks in the rice paddies. Stones can break into small pieces and get mixed in with the white rice during the milling process, causing injury. In particular, please do not touch anything outside of our rice paddies.
Do not enter other people's farmland or forests or dump garbage. Please refrain from noisy or conspicuous behavior that disturbs neighbors.

Injury, hospital, etc.
Please keep an eye on small children. Please do not leave small children unattended. Please understand that this is an accommodation facility that utilizes farmland to experience nature.

The pit viper and mountain lion are poisonous snakes that live widely throughout Japan and are also found in this area. If you are bitten, immediately take the victim to a hospital by ambulance or other means for treatment.
Snakes live near water, in the grass, and in the mountains, and will not attack unless provoked. Do not carelessly put your hands in water or grass, or step into them wearing short sleeves and short pants.
Similarly, be careful not to provoke bees to sting you, and if you are stung, please take care of it yourself by calling an ambulance.
Please check the emergency hospitals in Mutsuzawa-cho and Mobara City (Chosei-gun City) on the day of your visit.

A beautiful property with lovely hosts

We had a very nice and relaxing time at this Satoyama for 2 nights - after a hectic visit to Tokyo it was the perfect ending to our vacation in Japan. The accommodations were wonderful and we had beautiful weather to enjoy the outdoors. The food was excellent and we enjoyed picking Yuzu and eating a few fresh oranges from a tree on the property!

Thank you for coming all the way to Iwai Farm.

It's a small farm, so I was worried whether you would be satisfied. I'm glad that you enjoyed your walks around the neighborhood early in the morning and that you liked it. I'm relieved.

If you come to Japan again, please come and visit us again in a different season.
I look forward to seeing you.

2回目の滞在でした

夏に一度お世話になり、自然豊かな気持ちの良い環境に虜になり、今回違う季節に再度伺いました。
今回はお餅つき、お野菜の収穫にトライ。お餅つきも数回つくところは経験したことあっても、最初から最後までつくのは初めて。家族4人でひーひーいったものの、とても良い経験!つきたてのお餅にきな粉やオーナーさん手作りのあんこ、海苔などと一緒に食べました。最高でした。子供達も「自分でついたからよりおいしい!」と夢中で食べていました。お野菜も、里芋、柚子、蜜柑、レモン、ナスを収穫し、里芋はその晩芋煮にして下さいました。ひんやりした空気の中食べる芋煮は格別。
今回も自然の恵とオーナーさん達、そして愛犬ジンちゃんのおかげで素晴らしい滞在となりました。ありがとうございました。

最高の滞在となりました

6歳と4歳の息子達と4人でお世話になりました。優しいオーナーさんお二人が温かく迎えて下さり、幸せな2泊3日の滞在となりました。子供達は外でずっと虫やカエル、トカゲなど生き物を探し回っていて、「あと100回ここに泊まりたい!」と。普段虫が苦手な私も美しい自然の中だと平気になるのが不思議!なかなかお目にかかれない黒トンボも見つけました。黄色く輝く稲を刈る体験も、幸せなひと時。子供達に良い経験をさせてあげられました。そして滞在中に頂いた梅ジャム、パエリア、イノシシのワイン煮込みはどれも絶品!イノシシは臭みを全く感じませんでした。お家の中もオシャレで、どこを写真撮っても絵になります。そしてオーナーさんの愛犬ジンちゃん!撫でるとどんどんすり寄ってきてくれて人懐っこく、癒しの存在でした。
岩井ファームさん、本当にオススメです!我が家もまた違う季節に行きたいと思っています!

癒やしです

数えてみると5度目利用でした。
今回は、2泊で初日にパエリア作りと野菜収穫体験を友人家族と利用させていただきました。うちの犬も慣れてきた様で、落ち着いておりました。家族全員もっと泊まりたいと。
家よりぐっすり眠れたと暑がりの私以外の感想です。
外は暑かったです。BBQは汗だくでした。
また行きます
