I worked as a farmer in Fukuoka prefecture as a kenshusei too. For 3 years thanks God I made it. Working long hours under the sun when it's summer and shivering outside when it's winter. I did grass cutting, tilling the soil using small machineries, using cell trays when it's time to start planting, harvesting crops and others. There were hard times coping specially the culture, weather, food and most is language. It's not easy living in a foreign land and I feel you.
I'll be waiting for your next post because I believe that "there's a sunshine after the rain". がんばってくださいね
