Last week’s Niseko Classic 2024 marked the 11th event of its name—and the 9th year since it became an official UCI Gran Fondo World Series qualifier event. This year’s 150km and 80km flagship racers had to show even more resilience and technical skill in their battle against gravity and the elements; tackling the Classic’s winding climbs, speedy descents and historically rare bouts of inclement weather, amidst another incredible turnout for Niseko’s premier summer sporting event. RoomBoss is once again proud to have been a sponsor of the Niseko Classic, which proved to be another resounding success this year! Great passion and determination was demonstrated by all involved, with ever-impressive riders, a fantastic spectator showing, and incredible local support—all tied together by an eclectic range of events, stalls and eateries for spectators and competitors alike to enjoy throughout the weekend.
Last Friday, the RB Sapporo team had our very first team dinner and indulged in the local specialty known as “shime parfait”. In Sapporo’s vibrant nightlife scene, this delicacy marks the perfect conclusion to an evening of fun. Following a delectable feast of Yakitori and beer, we ventured to a shime-parfait cafe called “Sinner”, conveniently located just a minute’s stroll from Hosui-Susukino station Exit 1. Here, amidst laughter and camaraderie, we savored our very first “shime parfait,” toasting to the opening of the new Sapporo office and the memorable evening we had shared.
As we leap into 2024, the entire RoomBoss team would like to extend our warmest wishes to all of our valued partners and clients — from near and far. We’re excited to continue this voyage with you, and look forward to continuing to provide software & solutions to assist and empower you in all of your endeavours. Wishing you an exciting and prosperous new year — and as always — thank you for using RoomBoss!
Ghosts, ghoulies, and little monsters were out on the prowl in Hirafu town for Halloween 2023! Despite being utterly terrified by all of the incredible costumes and outfits worn by the kids (and big kids alike), we would like to thank everyone that dropped-by during this year’s Hirafu Halloween — it was an absolute treat!
The 2023 Niseko Classic has come to a close after another inspiring cycling spectacle—and in its wake of sweat, tears, and triumph, we look ahead to next year and eagerly anticipate an even stronger turnout.

A big congratulations for new team-member Alix on his successful completion of the Hokkaido Marathon last weekend. After months of dedicated training and one final day of gruelling effort, he now takes his very sore and substantially slower legs on the road to recovery. On an unrelated note, Alix has now moved to a ground-floor desk after reports of congestion in the 2F stairwell.
