Earlier this month, RoomBoss team members from across Japan, including Niseko, Sapporo, Furano, Hakuba, Izu, and Shimane, gathered in Sapporo for a team dinner. Although we collaborate daily from different locations, sharing a meal around the same table offered a rare and meaningful opportunity to connect face-to-face. The evening also marked a significant milestone: the 10-year work anniversaries of Dan and Cesar, two of RoomBoss’s earliest contributors. Their leadership and long-standing commitment helped lay the foundation of the company and continue to guide its growth today. At RoomBoss, we take pride in being a distributed, multicultural team built on shared purpose and mutual trust. Our ability to work seamlessly across distance isn’t just part of our culture. It’s one of our greatest strengths. As one team, we remain committed to continuously improving our system.

ROOMBOSS Hakuba staff joined the Snow Machine Festival this year! Hakuba village came alive with energy as music, snow, and an international crowd came together. DJs spun an amazing blend of electronic music and driving beats, getting everyone dancing—and sometimes wiping out—in the snow. Between sets, we enjoyed ramen and karaage in front of a bonfire. The combination of great music, the electric atmosphere, and delicious food made the festival unforgettable. The crowd was a fantastic mix of people from all over the world, adding to the already vibrant vibe!
