[Strategic rest] to maximize performance at Amafuruoka (hereinafter referred to as “the hotel”)
We will start offering a “time-off” plan that incorporates this, limited to one group per day, starting October 1, 2024 (Tuesday).
* ■What is “strategic rest” that maximizes performance*
Even though productivity is not high, in Japanese society, staying busy and enduring stress is a badge of honor, and taking time off is seen as a sin. Times have changed and overtime and overwork are no longer virtues.
There is a growing mindset among managers and executives that not taking a day off is a sin.
The concept of “strategic rest” that our hotel has focused on is not that “rest is something you take as a reward for your work,” but rather that “rest is something that creates the foundation for good performance.” In other words, by setting aside time for leisure, not just leisure for work, you can regain your productivity and
creativity.
Indulging in activities unrelated to work is the modern form of leisure, and effective rest is not just about relaxing, but about planning and taking it intentionally.
■”Time-off” proposed by “Bettei Tenfuruoka”
We offer a wide variety of plans to maximize your daily performance. Additionally, if you wish, our coordinator staff can produce and suggest personalized leisure time based on preliminary questionnaires and interviews.
Decide how to spend your time in nature, away from the hustle and bustle of the city, and look for something rewarding that will allow you to focus on what’s right in front of you.
Getting work out of your head and entering a flow state will help you think more clearly and be more productive. Through various forms of rest, new discoveries and stimulation can be obtained, making creative work possible. It’s truly a “strategic rest.”

*Be particular about your sleeping environment*
Limited to this plan, we will provide amenities from TENTIAL Co., Ltd.’s “BAKUNE Recovery Wear & Bedding.”
In the afternoon, I enjoy non-caffeinated and alcohol-free drinks. Soaking in a hot spring will raise your core body temperature, creating an environment that makes it easier to fall asleep and ensuring you get at least the recommended 7 hours of sleep.
*Enjoy self-reflection and alone time*
You can deepen your thoughts by taking a quiet alone time in a bedrock bath, sauna, or ceramic spa. In addition, through journaling, sutra copying, and painting, you will have the opportunity to face yourself and reconsider your thoughts and actions in a style of your choice.
* Move your body actively *
Spending time in nature doing yoga or meditation while soaking up the morning sun and moving your body improves blood circulation and stimulates brain function. Walking, especially in unfamiliar territory, is said to activate the brain’s default mode network (*DMM), increasing creativity and problem-solving abilities. It is also said that jogging and swimming, which are a bit strenuous and require effort, are effective.
*DMM is a network that is activated when the brain is in a resting state.
*Digital detox*
Keep your smartphone in the loaner box and out of sight, disconnect from work, or limit it to urgent matters.
You can stop endlessly checking social media and become more conscious about how you use your time. It also shuts out information that disturbs your mind.
*Enjoy immersive play*
By concentrating on one thing, such as playing Othello or a board game, you can relax your brain, which has accumulated fatigue from daily decision-making and sifting through information.

■About Bettei Tenfuruoka
Bettei Amafuru Oka is a “healing resort that unwinds your mind and body” surrounded by nature
Our hotel is a resort hotel located on a hill in Ibusuki City, Kagoshima Prefecture, surrounded by vast nature the size of 77 Tokyo Domes. The brand concept is “a healing resort that unwinds your mind and body.” We provide a space where you can escape from the hustle and bustle of everyday life and be surrounded by nature, where you can reset your accumulated fatigue with a relaxing and luxurious time, and where you can feel like you have been reborn both physically and mentally with our sincere hospitality.
In addition to the starry sky from which the hotel takes its name, you can also enjoy a variety of spa facilities such as forest bathing and Ibusuki’s famous sand bath. You can enjoy the natural hot springs gushing out from Ibusuki’s source in the large communal bath, private open-air bath, and guest room open-air bath. In addition, the only infinity pool on the mainland of the prefecture uses heated water, so it can be used all year round (it may not be available during part of the winter).
