Following the success of our two off-sites in 2024, we are kicking off the Cherry Blossom season with another overnight stay on the rocky, windy coast of Kamakura, following a spiritually nourishing tour of the area's "power spots", hidden temples, secret museums, and not least, refined coffee and tea shops.
Building on last year's proven model, we will meet at 2pm at Kita-Kamakura station for a local tour, before checking in at the hotel, where we will be privately treated to a selection of premium local produce cooked to perfection by the hotel chefs.

How did you prepare for the change?
