Experience of the stay
I work remotely, so I usually work from home. However, I often find that there are days where I haven't stepped outside at all, barely taking a hundred steps. In such times, I feel my thinking dulling, and it often worries me. So, I decided to come to Wakayama for a workation to refresh myself. I chose to stay at Guest Living Mu Nanki Shirahama. I thought as long as I could work, I’d keep my luggage to a minimum.
This guesthouse turned out to be an ideal place for workation. There are many workspaces in the building conducive to focusing on tasks. The area near the reception on the first floor, a place where you can overlook the sea, and spaces where you can work comfortably while relaxing on tatami mats were all pleasant, and I greatly appreciated that the environment was well-prepared.
What I particularly enjoyed was being able to work while looking at the sea. Watching the calm sea view that I can't experience at home naturally refreshed my mood and increased my work efficiency. The quiet environment around me also helped, allowing me to concentrate comfortably.
Furthermore, the facility also has an onsen, where I could thoroughly rejuvenate my tired body after long hours of work, which was a major plus. Soaking in the hot spring allowed me to further refresh, leaving me feeling light both physically and mentally, and I could approach the next day's work positively.
Working while breathing the fresh air outside cleared my thoughts and sparked new ideas. I reaffirmed that it’s important to occasionally change environments to refresh. The ample workspaces and onsen at Guest Living Mu Nanki Shirahama became my ideal place, enabling me to reacquaint myself with the significance of workation!
Experiences during the trip
To practice the saying that 'ideas are proportional to the distance traveled', I decided to change my workspace within Wakayama. Simply changing my usual surroundings broadens my thinking and leads to new inspirations. This time, I went to a bakery and cafe within the SHIRAHAMA KEY TERRACE HOTEL SEAMORE, accessible on foot from the hostel.
What was particularly impressive about this cafe is the infinity foot bath that seems to merge with the sea. Soaking my feet while gazing at the beautiful sea in front of me envelops me in a sensation of becoming one with nature. Such a relaxed environment provides just the right break amidst work, promoting a refresh of both body and mind.
Moreover, accessing it by foot provided an opportunity for my often sluggish body to move a bit, and I felt a pleasant fatigue. This, in turn, heightened my concentration when resuming work. Also, the coffee here is delicious. Its rich and smooth flavor calms my spirit, making me want to drink several cups.
I felt that changing my environment and refreshing both body and mind with just a bit of movement is the key to enhancing the quality of creative work. It was a day where a simple action of moving allowed me to liberate my thoughts and open doors to new ideas!Get Extra Bonus Coins! Sign up with this user's referral code now!
