In the days when Japan, like the rest of the world, was adjusting to a new routine in the face of life under Corona virus restrictions, many began working from home.

Along with this new work routine, nature reserves in the country have begun to entice office workers to go out and work from the heart of nature.



This is part of an extensive program, designed to find solutions that will allow for social distance without abandoning work.


Insider magazine reports that a number of nature reserves in Japan have installed wireless internet access points and even set up work stations for rent, which are located in hotels as well as at various campsites.

All this, with the support of the Japanese Ministry of Environment.



"We want people to work remotely while experiencing rest and relaxation in nature, away from their normal daily lives," says an official at Kyukamura Kishu Kada Resort, located in the Setonaikai Nature Reserve, a huge reserve with picturesque fishing villages.

Other nature reserves that have joined the new venture include the Aso-Kuju Reserve, which has active volcanoes, and the Nikko Reserve, which offers a wooded area on a hillside.

What's wrong with working from here?

The program's entrepreneurs further determined that each and every reserve will determine for itself how to promote the project, and how to implement in the field everything necessary for remote work.

Thus, some of the reserves decided to establish accommodation sites with spaces designated for work.



These can be rented by the hour.

And there are also reserves that set up work stations right in the heart of the open nature, outdoors.

They offer tents, charging points and of course, Wi-Fi.



These temporary and "natural" workstations are set up and dismantled by reserve workers on demand.

You can even order food for them, thus focusing on work without distractions.

"The idea is to offer our guests a program where they can work in the morning, and enjoy activities such as nature walks or canoeing with their families, in the afternoon," the same source said.



The new program operated as an initial pilot from April to July, and was proven effective, and was sympathetically accepted by the employees who participated in it.

It is now operating on a large and full scale.



Japan is not the only country that encourages work from nature and recreation sites.

Both Bermuda and Barbados in the Caribbean, offer a unique visa for professional workers and students from around the world, who want to combine work and vacation at the same time.
