From a 'Place to Work' to a 'Place to Foster Relationships': and US Opens Off-site and Workation Facility 'RETREAT PLACE ASAHI' in Toyama

and US Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Toyama City, Representative Director: Shina Hirooka) has opened 'RETREAT PLACE ASAHI,' an off-site and workation facility for corporations, in Asahi Town, Toyama Prefecture.

In recent years, while the importance of internal communication and team building has grown due to the diversification of work styles, many companies face challenges in fostering deep dialogue and generating new ideas during daily operations. In response, and US established 'RETREAT PLACE ASAHI' as a venue where people can deepen their relationships and foster co-creation amidst a rich natural environment. The facility offers new value beyond being just a 'workspace,' serving diverse needs such as corporate training, off-site meetings, workations, and team building.

### Background: The Value of Relationships Beyond Efficiency While remote work tools have enabled flexible locations, many organizations struggle with departmental silos, the distance between management and staff, fewer opportunities for innovation, and a lack of team unity. Believing that 'new value is born from human dialogue,' and US created this space in Asahi Town to allow teams to disconnect from daily routines and focus on interaction and co-creation.

### Facility Features - Location highlighting the natural beauty of Asahi Town, Toyama. - Accommodation spaces designed for group stays. - Relaxing environments suitable for long dialogues. - Dedicated spaces for BBQ and social interaction. - Design that emphasizes a non-routine experience. - Integration with local experience-based programs.

### Future Vision The facility plans to expand its offerings to include corporate networking events, regional experience programs, collaborations with local businesses, team-building projects, and well-being-themed stays. It aims to become a community hub that broadcasts new ways of working and connecting from Toyama.
