The camp and outdoor facility in Mie Prefecture, Everglades Kahada, will change its regular closing days from the usual 'Tuesday' to 'Monday and Tuesday' for about one month, starting from Monday, May 18, 2026.
This initiative is triggered by a male staff member taking paternity leave, aiming to create a more stable facility operation and a better working environment.
In this effort, we see the staff's paternity leave not just as an 'individual's leave' but as an opportunity to review the entire facility's operational structure and update to a more sustainable way of working.
By strengthening staff collaboration and reorganizing the work system, we aim for long-term stable facility operation, thereby maintaining and improving service quality, and challenging ourselves to realize 'campground management suited for the new era.'
Everglades Kahada will strive to provide a comfortable outdoor experience for our customers and aim to be a 'campground for the new era' where each staff member can continue to work with peace of mind.
