Workations for Individuals
For Individuals
Wakayama is easy to get to from the Tokyo metropolitan area, and its abundant natural environment, UNESCO World Heritage sites, hot springs, and other sightseeing attractions make it an inviting destination for workations. Come and experience a distinctly Wakayama workation.

Looking to the future in a sanctuary of revival that governs the past, present, and future
I believe that a true workation allows you to enhance your well-being and strengthen your self-leadership by unwinding deep in natural surroundings, while doing your usual work remotely.
The connections made through workations not only broaden your world and enrich your life, but also grow your links to the local community, which also come into play in disasters.
In 2022, we launched an initiative called the Ume (Japanese apricot) Harvest Workation in Minabe Town to address the labor shortage in ume orchards. We invite you to experience a workation in Wakayama, where you can unwind, deeply engage in your work, and rejuvenate both your body and soul.
How to Set Up a Workation

STEP.1 Let's look at a workation plan
using the top itineraries as a guide!Here are some plans that allow you to fully enjoy the unique attractions of Wakayama. For example, you can choose an itinerary that offers experiences both in the city and the countryside, ranging from downtown Wakayama City to the fishing port areas around Kada or Wakanoura. Or, embark on a healing trip in the town of Aridagawa, where you can enjoy craft beers, rejuvenate in beauty-enhancing hot springs, and connect with the legend of the Buddhist priest Kukai (Kobo Daishi)!
