[Company system] I went to Okinawa using my refreshment leave

This is Nakauchi from the Technical Sales Department

At Beyond, we have implemented 41 systems and improvements from September 2017 to the present.
(And this number will continue to increase.)

One suchrefreshment leavesystem is called

To explain the system, after 5 years of service, employees
receive a two-week vacation and a bonus (100,000 yen) from the company.

This system was established in November 2018, and since I had already met the five-year service requirement at that time, I
decided to use it during my summer vacation this year. I'm the first employee to take advantage of it.

After obtaining the license, I decided to go to Okinawa in the summer and began preparing

Expedia's strongest

In an effort to reduce travel costs as much as possible, I browsed various travel websites.
I think I've probably looked at almost every travel website currently available.
I also calculated the total cost by combining bookings from websites that only offer flights and websites that only offer hotels.

Among them,Expedia!! (This is just my personal opinion.)

Also, the site is easy to navigate

Let's go!

It was pouring rain at Kansai Airport, and to make matters worse, a typhoon was approaching Okinawa

The plane was delayed by an hour, and the person sitting next to me at McDonald's was telling me that the flight to Miyakojima had been cancelled, so we somehow managed to take off despite the dark clouds looming!

I slept soundly on the plane, and when I woke up I was relieved to see that the weather was clear

Okinawa Marriott, a drinker's paradise

The hotel I stayed atthe Okinawa Marriott Resort & Spawas

I also received a service bonus from my company, so I splurged on a room on the executive floor

I went there thinking it would just be a slightly nicer room, but
I was surprised by the variety and content of the perks.

One of them is the private lounge

There are two types of lounges: Ocean (no entry for those under 20) and Forest.
Food, desserts, and several types of alcoholic beverages were always available at each lounge during the following times.

6:30 AM - 11:00 AM Breakfast (American Breakfast)
11:00 AM - 5:30 PM Afternoon Tea Time
5:30 PM - 7:30 PM Appetizers & Cocktails
7:30 PM - 9:30 PM Desserts & Cocktails
9:30 PM - 12:00 AM Evening Tea Time

All of this is included in the accommodation fee. It's like free drinks and free food!

All of the drinks listed above are free of charge at the hotel pool

I was drinking beer in the morning, just casually drinking an Orion beer because I woke up thirsty

Since our family of four consumed a considerable amount of food and drinks,
I think it might have been cheaper overall if we had stayed in an executive room. (Although I don't know for sure...)

Other perks are as follows:

• Valet parking (entry and exit service)
• Reservations for breakfast buffet seats (there are long lines at the restaurant in the morning)
• Late check-out (12:00)
• Free umbrellas and deck chairs on the nearby beach
• Other miscellaneous items

At night, there was a live sanshin performance on the bridge over the pool, and it was my first time experiencing the trendy night pool!!

It's worth visiting the Fukugi tree-lined street

I think the spot that most people go to when they go to Okinawa is the Churaumi Aquarium

Did you know that there is a spot called Fukugi Tree Avenue nearby?

By the way, I went to the Fukugi Tree Avenue on the second day and the aquarium on the fourth day, and I realized that the two spots are close to each other, thinking, "Didn't I pass this road the other day?"

It's so close!

This road continues for several kilometers and you can rent a bike

The nearby sea is also very beautiful

I recommend visiting the camphor tree avenue in the cool morning hours and then heading to the aquarium in the hot afternoon hours

lastly

The main theme of this trip was not only to entertain the children, but also to make my wife happy

I took care of the children myself, and my wife spent all her time hanging out in a lounge that was off-limits to people under the age of 20

It was quite difficult, but I was able to complete it thoroughly, so I was very satisfied. (Although I fell asleep on the third day.)

I was able to take this trip thanks to the company that created the system, and the team members and engineers who worked on my behalf. I am truly grateful

When other people go on a relaxing vacation, I want to be the one to provide thorough support!!
