Experience Unforgettable Moments in Nature at Qkamura Resort in Fukushima

Qkamura Resort's Inaugural New Graduate Retreat

Nestled in the stunning natural landscapes of the Bandai-Asahi National Park, Qkamura Resort is set to host its first-ever two-day retreat for new graduates starting on May 31st. This innovative program aims to enhance the enthusiasm of new hires while building a sense of connection and reducing the potential for withdrawals after job offers. In an era where opportunities are plentiful, many students seek deeper understanding and connections with organizations before making their career choices. This initiative provides a platform for meaningful dialogue between peers and senior staff, fostering mutual understanding.

At Qkamura, unique experiences await as you gather around a warm campfire under a star-lit sky, creating unforgettable memories. Here's what makes the new graduate retreat truly special:

1. On-Site Exploration

To ensure new hires have a clear vision of their future roles within nature’s grandeur, the program features an On-Site Exploration. Participants will delve into various aspects of working and living in a national park—beyond the glamorous surface—to gain insights into the behind-the-scenes areas of the hotel, employee dining facilities, and staff accommodations. This experience aims to mitigate future mismatches post-hire. Additionally, participants will have opportunities to interact with veteran staff, fostering deeper understanding of company culture and job responsibilities.

2. BBQ Under the Stars

Meals will take place at a vast campsite within the hotel's premises, where new hires will bond over a BBQ dinner. This setting encourages participants to strengthen their ties with each other before their official onboarding, cultivating a sense of camaraderie and comfort. The evening will conclude with a roundtable discussion by the campfire, enabling new hires to engage with Qkamura staff, sharing experiences and insights about working at the resort.

3. Stargazing Program: Insights into Community Contribution

Facilitated by a local stargazing expert, participants will enjoy the "To the Stars" program, where they will observe celestial wonders through telescopes at the resort’s observatory. Following the stargazing experience, a dialogue session will help participants understand how sharing astronomy with guests contributes to the local community, enhancing the enjoyment and purpose of the Qkamura venture.

4. Hiking at Goshikinuma with Local Guides

The next day, participants will hike around Goshikinuma, renowned for its mystical beauty and awarded a Michelin Green Guide star. Led by a local nature guide, the hiking experience will reveal aspects of Goshikinuma that aren't captured in brochures, deepening appreciation for the environment and highlighting the resort's exciting opportunities.

With activities designed to engage the senses and promote exploration of the majestic region, the retreat promises to create deeper connections with nature and the core mission of Qkamura Resort.
