We are looking for passionate individuals who love tea and wish to improve their knowledge and understanding of Japanese tea and culture. Our program offers a unique opportunity to connect with people from all over the world, to gain intercultural experiences and build meaningful relationships. During your 3 month time at Obubu you can expect to learn about brewing, preparation and basic tea chemistry. Obubu’s internship offers a unique experience, which allows you to follow the process of traditional tea production from leaf to cup. You will have the opportunity to interact with our Japanese employees, farmers and local community members. You will experience Japanese culture firsthand through events, social interaction, and daily living. We offer an internship with a twist. Daily schedules are dependent on the seasons. A typical day can consist of tea tour hosting, farming, packing, tea processing, or other related activities. You may also contribute your own skills through individual and group tasks and projects. However, within your schedule there will be regular contact with Obubu assistant managers and staff members, who will offer guidance and access to relevant resources. Obubu interns will be expected to be involved in the following: Tea tours Tea farming Tea packing Community events Social media and publicity Engagement with local media Website content Program management Hospitality for clients and guests Household maintenance DISCLAIMER: Living and working in the small town of Wazuka may be very different than what you are used to. Fluency in English is a requirement and conversational Japanese would be preferred for the internship. If you do not speak Japanese, there will be language barriers that require patience and understanding. If you wish to work in the fields, you must be physically capable and understand that the conditions can be less than comfortable (hot and humid weather in the summer, heavy machinery, wildlife etc.) By completing the application you are acknowledging these factors in the experience and confirming that you are fit and able for the job. The participation fee, which also covers facility fees and rent, will be 30,000 JPY per month. Location: 〒619-1201 Kyoto, Soraku District, Wazuka, Sono, Otsuka−２
