Quotations from participant interviews Total impression of the activity (Case 1) I really enjoyed the barbecue and harvest festival. (Case 2) Seeing the vegetables grow made me happy. (Case 3) It was good to meet lots of people and make friends. (Case 4) I enjoyed the activity. Rice farmingwas harder than I expected. (Case 5) I wish I could have participated in August, but I was in the hospital at the time. Subjective change (Case 1) I sleep better than before. My life has becomemore regulated. (Case 3) I sleep well on the day of the activity. (Case 5) I found I could work with other people. Emotions (Case 1) It is far better than doing nothing. (Case 2) I have noticed how strong I am. (Case 3) I feel refreshed going back home. (Case 4) I realized how hard farmers' lives are. (Case 5) I felt a sense of satisfaction and achievement. Quotations from the staff interview I think they enjoyed the program very much. The quality of their sleep has improved. They have started to regulate their lives, especially on the day of the program. Listening to their small talk at the end of each activity, I thought that the content of their conversations became richer as the program proceeded.
