We carried out staff training at Kawaguchiko for three days (November 18th to November 20th) under the theme of “Team building” .
On the first day we had our company meeting and BBQ (Churrasco Night).
Representatives from each division gave a project update and all staff members gave their self introduction. Representative director Takehuchi spoke about the vision and the outlook for the future for the company.

We did a “Team cooking contest” at night.
Following a set theme using a limited amount of ingredients, each team worked hard together to create some tasty cuisine.

The last day we went to Kaizouji, where we experienced zazen (seated Zen meditation, usually in a cross-legged position), the making of a handwritten copy of a sutra and the Japanese green tea ceremony.
Not only for the staff from foreign countries, but also for the Japanese staff it was a really valuable experience.

Lastly, we took a group photo in front of the temple.

It was a training trip without any big problems, one which raised our awareness in various ways!
