Program Snapshot


Discover Rural Japan While Supporting Sustainable Forestry

Urban hotspots like Tokyo and Osaka get all the press, but rural Japan offers a different kind of adventure—fresh air, close-knit communities, and landscapes that change dramatically with each season. By joining our forester working holiday you’ll live where Japan’s famous cedar and cypress are grown, help local cooperatives replant after harvests, and learn sustainable silviculture practices. From mist-shrouded valleys in Kyushu to hillside tea fields in Shizuoka, you’ll gain insider access to regions most tourists never see—all while earning a solid salary and strengthening Japan’s green future.


Eligibility & Visa Guidance

To join, you must:

  1. Hold a passport from a country with a Working Holiday Visa for Japan program.
  2. Be 18–30 years old (some countries 18–25).
  3. Speak conversational English (basic Japanese helpful).
  4. Be able to perform outdoor forestry tasks safely.
  5. Own a current driving licence in your home country (is a plus, but not mandatory)
