Hokkaido is hosting an agricultural internship program offering students and professionals a free, hands-on farming experience for approximately two nights and three days. Participants will engage in harvest work and local community exchanges to gain firsthand insight into agricultural life.

To help people feel closer to agricultural work, Hokkaido is hosting an 'Agricultural Internship' program where participants can experience farm work alongside farm managers and experienced workers at agricultural corporations and other farming entities.

This offers valuable, on-site experiences that cannot be gained through the internet or social media alone. Anyone with even a slight interest in working in agriculture is encouraged to apply.
