Remote work in Tsumagoi, from Tokyo

Telework in Tsumagoi — come Thursday, go home Monday.

Work Thursday and Friday at a fibre desk in the Kotatsu Lounge; the weekend is yours on the plateau. You sleep in a tent, and the lounge is open 24 hours. For company expenses, you issue your own receipt.

¥25,900

Thu–Mon, 4 nights, one adult (tax incl.)

¥6,475/night long-stay discount −10%

Two workdays, and a weekend.

Arrive Thursday at noon, work through Friday, rest at the weekend, go home on Monday: 4 nights of the All-in Camp.

  1. Thu · WorkCheck in from 12:00; the afternoon at a lounge desk
  2. Fri · WorkA full day on fibre. When the first star is out, you are done
  3. Sat · OffLight a fire, drive to an onsen, or do nothing at all
  4. Sun · OffWalk the plateau; warm up in the lounge at night
  5. Mon · HomeCheck out by 11:00 and head back to Tokyo

On Tuesday and Wednesday the hermit is away: a new booking that touches those days must be made by the Sunday before, and the lounge sells no day passes. Thursday to Monday, 4 nights, touches neither; just book a Thursday arrival by the day before (Wednesday).

Coming on company expenses? After you pay, you issue your own receipt with your company name on it (a qualified simplified invoice).

Book 4 nights from Thursday 11/5
