Three sample stays, hour by hour — a weekend out of Tokyo, a full week from Narita, and a team offsite with the ranch to yourselves. Steal one as-is or remix it.
Beat the weekend crowd in reverse: work Friday afternoon and Monday morning from the fiber desk, keep Saturday and Sunday for the plateau.
