Fujeida-Shi, Japan

I spent three weeks in Fujeida-Shi, a city located in the Shizuoka prefecture. I found the countryside and its people to be inviting and photogenic.

While there, I stayed with a wonderful family who took the time and effort to teach me organic farming practices and principles. From day to day I helped tend the family’s organic tea fields and orange orchards, harvest organic wheat, and other farming chores. Everyday the family and I would cook delicious food together and enjoy each others company. I made some lifelong friends while in Japan and I look forward to the day I visit Fujieda-shi again.
