What is "fairly far"? Weeks or months? Also do you know if you can arrange for 1/2 day (eg afternoon) or only whole day?
you can do half days (at least in Nara that was possible).
not sure about how long in advance but the request period opens 2 or 3 month before the requested date (so that is when you can start asking for a volunteer )
