Campsites instead of offices , which offer more options for how to work.
Like Mr. Yamaguchi, thinking about living and playing in parallel with working will, whether we like it or not, rethink and redefine working itself.
. The way to enjoy "HINOKO TOKYO" is left up to the user. Some people may actually work as a place of workcation, while others may enjoy the sauna.
. from the standpoint of efficiency, it may be better to work at home or in an office. But I wondered if I would be happy working solely from the standpoint of efficiency. . In fact, I like the outdoors, and if I separate it from my work, both become less satisfying. In my case, actually playing can have a positive impact on working."
Some people think of play as laziness, but Mr. Yamaguchi thinks differently.
I like snowboarding, and sometimes I do backcountry skiing, which is an extreme sport, but very occasionally I encounter a near-miss situation. . I can see the wide expanse of sky and land, and I can physically and mentally expand my field of vision. I can also see the wide open sky and the earth , and my physical and mental horizons are expanded.
Of course, human beings are not working machines. Is a way of working that pursues only efficiency, just like a machine, really human? It is said that those who will be able to survive in the future society will be those who have the power of imagination and creativity that only human beings possess, which machines do not have. If this is the case, then humanity will become an indispensable element of what we look for in a company and working environment.
In the future, the company that will be chosen as a good place to work may be one that provides an environment where people can work comfortably, rather than one that only measures performance and efficiency.
As Mr. Yamaguchi describes the future, we should all welcome the diversity of working styles, in other words, the increase in the number of work options. A society in which people are allowed to work in an environment where, as in HINOKO TOKYO, the office floor is replaced by soil and the ceiling by a blue sky. Such a future may be just around the corner.
