A New Opportunity for HR Professionals: The Official Bus Tour

An exciting initiative has been launched for the HR community in Shizuoka, as the 'HR Festival 2026' prepares to gather human resource professionals from across the region. From October 10 to 11, participants can take advantage of a specially organized bus tour that facilitates easy travel from Hamamatsu, Shizuoka, and Mishima straight to the event venue, OKUTAMA+ in Okutama. This article dives into what the festival has to offer and how the official bus tour enhances participation.

The Essence of HR Festival 2026

The HR Festival is designed to create an engaging environment for HR personnel, executives, and anyone involved in human resources. Participants will experience a rich agenda that encourages learning beyond company borders. During the day, attendees will navigate through sessions filled with mini-seminars, workshops, and dialogue sessions in repurposed classrooms of an old school building. The evenings promise an opportunity for deeper connection amid campfires, offering valuable networking and candid discussions not typically found in standard conferences.

This event is not just for HR professionals but also for managers and executives tackling organizational challenges collaboratively. With the Support of Trustyyle, the festival focuses on generating meaningful dialogue and experiences for its engaged audience.

The Highlights of the Official Bus Tour

To facilitate seamless participation, the bus tour offers a round-trip service that eliminates the hassle of switching trains. On the morning of October 10, the bus will depart from Hamamatsu Station, stopping at Shizuoka Station and Mishima Station before heading directly to OKUTAMA+. This direct route allows participants to relax and focus on the event, ensuring they arrive together with fellow attendees—from their region.

1. No Transfers Required
By taking advantage of this bus service, participants can travel straight to the venue without the inconvenience of transferring trains. This convenience means more time can be dedicated to the enriching experiences that await at HR Festival 2026.

2. Overnight Stay for Full Experience
Participants who opt for this tour enjoy not only the daytime sessions but exclusive evening activities. The festival includes nighttime events just for overnight attendees, such as bonfire activities and night gatherings, providing an environment for sincere conversations and connections that extend beyond the daytime events.

3. Connect with Regional Peers
Riding the bus alongside fellow HR professionals from Shizuoka and the Tokai region enhances the experience. Not only do participants share the journey, but they also build relationships and share insights along the way. As they return home, they carry with them new connections and ideas to implement in their workplaces.

Special Workshop with Amane Career

In collaboration with Amane Career, a workshop titled 'Dialogue with Chikuwa' is scheduled, aiming to engage attendees in discussions about local areas and work styles. This interactive workshop adds an exciting dimension to the festival, allowing participants to connect over both regional issues and broad HR practices, preparing them to drive change upon returning to their businesses.
