Kamakura Head Office:

Kamakura, is a historical ocean side city surrounded by mountains. You can get here from the city center in about one hour by train. Why did we established our head office in such a location. It was a courageous choice. We have to admit the physical disadvantages of distance from city center. But, there are many abundant advantages. In the morning, you can work up a good sweat taking a walk in mountains before you go to the office. In the afternoon for a little while, go out and catch some waves, then back to work (but, please don’t fall asleep). In the summertime, invite our distant clients in for a wonderful lunch at the best seaside house. Many people find this style agreeable. This is the ideal life style where we can enjoy both leisure and work.

Traveling branch：

Temporary short stay overseas office. That’s a “traveling branch”. It works this way, We rent rooms overseas for months at a time, and our employees live there. The idea is do our jobs overseas just like they do in Japan. This is not a company trip, it’s building a temporary overseas office. Working in unfamiliar surroundings would be a stimulating and motivating experience. After work hours we can explore and enjoy the local cultures and cuisines. It serves a dual purpose. The advantages overcome any disadvantages.

Play 24 hours Work 24 hours：

Kamakura head office and traveling branch.
We are not limited by where we work.
Fortunately in our industry, IT related, it does not matter where our office is located.
Of course, we still have to go to the city center for meetings, but we can work even in a train.
We can access the internet almost everywhere.
In time as internet communication technology develops, any disadvantages that we may have, will be overcome.
We will take the initiative to cultivate these conditions.
Don’t you think, it’s really not that necessary for everyone to work in high-rise buildings?
Someone should challenge that perception.

But to be honest in business, if an office is located far from the city center it is considered a disadvantage.
All the more, we must make every hour, minute and second count.
Play 24 hours Work 24 hours.
We established our head office in Kamakura because we want to enjoy the sea and the mountains.
We made a “traveling branch” because we want to live and experience life abroad.
It’s necessary to have the determination to keep on doing what we want.
It’s necessary to keep our efforts and sensitivity so as to be moved to tears even by the sight a tiny pebble on the road.

“Private life should be separated from your job life”, people who say this are wrong.
If we have two values, life speed must be slow.
If KAYAC is the place where we can do what we want, we do not need to separate our private lives from our job life.
A company where we can do what we want.
We want to be such a company.

When we were in elementary school, we learned the phrase “urban blight”.
Of course though it’s a stereotype, the word conjures up images of an empty life, which separates private life from job life.
We want to bring together work and play.

In order to achieve this goal, we need complete preparation to Play 24 hours and Work 24 hours.
During playtime, we discover ideas for our jobs and when we work, we discover ideas how to best enjoy our lives.
A company in which all the employees work in this manner is strong.
Having our head office in Kamakura it is our goal to be such a company.
