ホストのお二人には温かく迎え入れていただき、また、都内では見られない景色・味覚などを優しくご説明いただきました。採った野菜を使ってみんなで一緒に作った料理はとても美味しかったです。
夜は満天の星空で、これも忘れられない景色でした。
色々考えを持たれた若いお2人の経験に…少しでも参考となっていただけたら嬉しいです。
野菜作りも是非挑戦してみて下さいね。
お天気にも恵まれ満点の星空も満喫していただけて良かったです。
秋冬の星空も格別です。又お待ちしています。
この度はありがとうございました。
私と同じような農泊初心者に向けて、感想をまとめたいと思います。
①楽しめると思う人
・田舎の移住に興味のある人(戸叶さん夫婦も同じように移住された方なので、移住歴10年超のリアルを存分に聞くことができます。)
・お子さんがいて、自然や農作業と触れ合う体験をさせてみたい方
・田舎の雰囲気を楽しむ目的でゆっくりしたい方
②当日を100%楽しむために
・オレンジペコでの体験に限らず、事前に自分たちから「今回の旅行ではこういうことがしたい!」ということを伝えておいた方が良いです。(私たちの場合には、釣り堀で釣り体験がしたいと伝えていました。余談ですが、鹿島槍ガーデンという釣り堀で、川魚を刺身で食べられるという貴重な体験ができました!大量だったのでご夫婦に捌いていただき、一緒に食べました!)
・田舎でのんびりする目的で行く方は、事前にその旨を伝えておくと齟齬がないのかなと思います。
③見どころ
・築160年の古民家
2010年ごろにボロボロの古民家を購入したそうですが、ご主人は元大工、奥様は元インテリアデザイナーだったこともあり、かなりのオシャレ空間に生まれ変わっております!
・農作業体験で自分で収穫した野菜を食せる!
・緑のある景色を見ながら食べる朝食が最高!
・夜の星(満月に注意!)が綺麗!
④最後に
限られた時間の中で、⑴農作業体験、⑵ゆっくりする、⑶周辺観光(釣り、登山、温泉など)、⑷移住経験談などを楽しみきるのは難しいのかなという印象です。狙いを絞って、その旨をご夫婦に伝えて楽しむのがいいのかなという感想です。普通の旅行とは異なりますが、逆にカスタマイズが効いて面白味があるのかなと思います。農作業体験を省略する場合には、ご飯時間にご夫婦とのコミュニケーションの時間を確保するといいのかなと思います!
オレンジペコを訪れる方々が100%良さを体験できるよう、私のレビューが参考になると嬉しいです。
この度は遠方よりお越し頂き有難うございました。
また、帰宅後早々〜お疲れの所クチコミコメントを書いて下さり、無事帰宅された事に安堵しつつ感謝致します。
民泊初体験という事で、なかなかこちらの趣旨が伝わり辛くご不安、誤解等があった事、申し訳ありませんでした…
滞在中はお天気も良く、ご希望の釣った川魚をお刺身で食せ喜んで頂けた事は頑張って捌いたかいがありました。
機会ありましたら〜次回は親戚の家に遊びに来る感覚でお越し頂けたらと思います。
今後の方へのアドバイスとして詳しくレビューを書いて頂き有難うございました。
