Refreshing Moments and Breakfast Delights:
After a well-deserved rest, we began the day with a delectable breakfast comprising a variety of cuisines, from English classics to Japanese specialities. Personally, I couldn't resist the wonderful jelly sweet dish that left my taste senses in perfect delight. Awakened and prepared for the day, some of us participated in an onsen experience while others chose to take a revitalizing shower.The hotel's stunning views left me speechless as the landscape unfolded before my eyes in a really mind-blowing display of magnificence.
Embarking on a Memorable Adventure:
The Kamogawa Hotel Mikazuki was our last stop before reaching Mother Farm, so we parted ways with it at 9:50 AM with a mixture of exhilaration and grief. We got on the bus right on time and started our tour, which promised to be full of wonderful experiences.
An Exciting Visit to Mother Farm:
We were welcomed by Mother Farm's lively atmosphere and wide range of experiences when we arrived. We enjoyed a delicious barbecue feast, tasting the flavors of lamb, chicken, and other foods. We went out to explore the farm's different attractions after our stomachs were full.
Exploring the Beauty of Nature:
The Valley of Flowers, a stunning location with vivid hues and delicate blossoms, was our first stop. The tranquil beauty of the surroundings left us speechless, giving the perfect backdrop for unforgettable memories.
Animal Petting Farm and Delightful Encounters:
We next arrived at the field where the animals were for petting, where we got the wonderful chance to get up close and personal with a variety of cute animals, including sheep, goats, ducks, and more. Petting the animals was comforting and added a new layer of joy.
Savouring Sweet Delights and Connecting with Colleagues:
We came across other department members while we were exploring, participating in pleasant chats and developing bonds over similar experiences. We eventually arrived at a location where we could indulge in wonderful and renowned caramel nuts ice cream, a delight that definitely pleased our sweet tooth.
Rabbit and Guinea Pig House and Farewell:
We made a quick stop at the rabbit and guinea pig house, marveling at the cute residents as the clock approached our reassembly time of 2:50 PM. These cuddly companions gave our trip a special touch of charm and helped us make experiences that we will remember for a long time.
Homeward Bound and Incredible Discoveries:
It was time to say goodbye to Mother Farm and start our journey back to Tokyo once everyone gathered at our prearranged meeting place. Along the way, we made a captivating discovery—the underground tunnel that connected Umi Hotaru in Chiba to Tokyo, this was told by one of our kind colleague. We were astounded by the infrastructure of Japan because it was such an unexpected marvel.
The wonderful two-day training camp came to a close at about 4:15 PM when we returned to Tokyo. Whether it was the first-time onsen relaxation, the deep friendships made with coworkers, or the unforgettable activities at Mother Farm, the experience was nothing short of fantastic. A special thank you to the organizers, whose thorough organization and commitment helped to make the training camp a smashing success.
