4. First day (2nd June 2018)
The next day, we got to talk to each other
properly. After meeting Kentaro-san and his beautiful dog Shiro beside his rice
fields, we presented ourselves again before breakfast where I gave my WWOOF
permit. Even if the gape in language was big, communicating wasn’t so hard and I
must admit that, even if Japanese anime are not representative of the real
life, they helped me understand many words and use them as well. After, I was
treated to a surprisingly good breakfast with a taste completely new to me. I
tasted the amazing rice that Kentaro-san makes in his large fields. It was
surprisingly good and was different from any rice I ever tasted. After, we went
to work. We reclaimed a piece of earth that we transformed into a big pile of
mud. It was hard work, but Kentaro-san always told me to take my time and told
me to take many breaks. A student of Kentaro-san, named Koichi, was also
helping us. This day, I met political representatives of the Niigata prefecture
that made a speech to the village of Funato and friends of Kentaro-san. At the
end of the day, we enjoyed an amazing hand heated onsen with a breath-taking
view to a waterfall in the mountains.
