Takada Travel Co., Ltd., a travel agency with the mission of "creating encounters with the unknown and continuing to provide new perspectives," today began pre-registration for the first wave of members for "Shiritorippu (https://sillytrip.com/)," an online relaxation gym for home workers, ahead of its official release in November.
■Release Background
Due to the impact of COVID-19, an increasing number of companies are promoting telework. While teleworking has the benefit of enabling highly productive work styles regardless of time or place, it can also blur the lines between work and personal life, making it difficult to find time to be yourself. In fact, according to an online survey conducted by the Cabinet Office (*1), the result was that "satisfaction with the fun and excitement of life" has fallen by 1.95 points compared to before the spread of the infection.
Furthermore, in a survey conducted by the Brand Research Institute (*2), when asked "Would you like to travel using the Go To Travel campaign?", half of the respondents answered "I don't want to travel," which shows that many people are hesitant to travel amid the impact of the spread of the infection, and there is a lack of opportunities to get away from their busy daily lives and refresh their minds. 。 English: *1: Cabinet Office, "Survey on changes in lifestyle awareness and behavior under the influence of COVID-19" (June 21, 2020) https://www5.cao.go.jp/keizai2/manzoku/pdf/shiryo2.pdf *2: Brand Research Institute, Inc., "Survey on awareness and needs regarding the Go To Travel campaign" (August 3, 2020) https://news.tiiki.jp/articles/4557 ■About "Shiri Trip," an online relaxation gym for remote workers (https://sillytrip.com/) Given the above background, many remote workers now find that their homes and smartphones have become their workspaces, leaving them feeling mentally drained and lonely. In such a situation, if a training gym is a space where you can consciously refresh your body, then it would be nice to have a gym where you can "rest" as a space to consciously refresh your mind. With this in mind, Takada Travel Agency has launched "Shiritorippu," an online relaxation gym for home workers. It's an extraordinary space where you can simultaneously experience "chance encounters" and "mental refreshment" while feeling like you're traveling. As the name suggests, "Shiritorippu" is a combination of "Silly" and "Trip." Through a variety of online experiences planned and managed in-house, we provide an environment where users can share aimless, "silly" time. We offer "your own trip," where you can experience new discoveries and stimulate your senses while completely disconnected from work. "I want to be myself, chat with someone about trivial things, and laugh together." Shiritorippu is a psychologically safe space that responds to the inner voice of such home workers.

[Partial lineup of online experiential content]
*The event times are generally scheduled for weekdays (Monday) through (Thursday), from 12:00-13:00, 13:00-14:00, 19:00-, 20:00-, and 22:00-.

▼"Escape from "Recklessness""
Are you so engrossed in work that you don't have time to brew and drink delicious tea? That's why we're holding a tea brewing and drinking workshop to help you take a break from work. First, we'll deliver Japanese tea from a different region each month to your home. Then, you'll receive an online lecture on the tea's history, brewing techniques, and more, while you actually brew Japanese tea with your own hands. One of the best parts is being able to share your impressions of the taste and aroma with fellow tea lovers.
This content allows you to forget about work and immerse yourself in a sense of "immersion" in a quiet and warm atmosphere. Enjoy a safe journey while discovering a new Japanese tea, which changes every month.
▼"Shiritori @ Shiritori Trip"
Are you tired of conversations at work because you're trying too hard to have constructive discussions? Shiritori is an intuitive, open-ended word association game whose rules we've known since we were little, and which you can naturally start playing with even people you've just met.
The time spent concentrating on Shiritori is, in most cases, a time when you can be your innocent, pure, and natural self, seriously generating free-form ideas from the connections between the words presented to you. Keywords that suddenly pop up can reveal unexpected aspects of the participants' personalities, and the conversation may even develop into casual conversation.
This is the perfect content for those who want to spend time filled with serendipity and creativity.
▼"Goodnight Lillian"
Do you ever suddenly feel emotional or restless before going to bed, making it difficult to settle your hands? When that happens, take some time away from blue light and immerse yourself in Lillian.
Lillian is a thin, round string made by finely weaving silk thread. It may look difficult at first glance, but once you get the hang of it, anyone can easily knit a lillian. As you work earnestly, you'll find your mind clearing before you know it.
Another great thing about lillian is that when you've finished, you might find yourself a little stumped about what to do with it, which makes you chuckle. This is the perfect content for concentrating, occasionally chatting, and producing output with a completely different perspective from work, giving you a sense of fulfillment.
*We also plan to offer other real-life experiences that take you outside as optional extras.
[Examples of Real-Life Experiences]
▼"Bonfire Rest Tour" (Separate participation fee applies)
This is an event where we take you to a bonfire after work, giving you time to relax and unwind by the bonfire. Let's gather around a campfire in a place surrounded by nature and enjoy some heartwarming conversation.
■About Takada Travel Agency
(https://takadatravelagency.com/)
＜Founder's Vision＞
Having worked in HR for many years and also worked as a career counselor in my private life, I have always wondered what it means to work better. For hard-working people, half of their lives may be spent "working." I believe that the key to making "work" more enjoyable is to come up with good ideas, put them into practice, and feel a sense of accomplishment. As James W. Young describes in his book "How to Create Ideas," we wanted to create time to "completely abandon problems and focus your mind on anything that stimulates your imagination and emotions," so we created a company to support "work" and make it more enjoyable.
Takada Travel is a travel and event company with the mission of "creating encounters with the unknown and continuing to provide new perspectives." By providing high-quality rest time, both in person and online, Takada Travel aims to further grow by helping workers enjoy their time both on and off the job and living their own way.
We look forward to your continued support.
