One of the peaks of Yatsugatake

09 Aug: “YATSUGATAKE” A New Location Available in the System

Yatsugatake is located across Nagano and Yamanashi prefectures in Japan. Yatsugatake, which means “eight peaks” in Japanese, is a volcanic chain which stretches across 25 km from north to south with the peaks of 2,500m or higher above sea level. The expansive area has long fascinated Japanese tourists and alpinists as both an incredible highland hot spring resort, as well as a mountaineering and rock climbing mecca. Still a hidden gem in the international market, Yatsugatake is close to Nozawa Onsen which is popular among the international travelers, with its cold but sunny winter weather allowing the resorts to create perfectly groomed ski slopes ideal for ski lessons, and offering many attractive nearby destinations where you can delve into the history of Japan, such as Suwa Taisha Shrine.

24 Jul: [TRUST] New Flexibility in Managing Housekeeping Costs + More Powerful Options for Building Charge Models based on Guest Age Category

Introducing an exciting addition to our Trust Accounting module that empowers you to exercise greater control over housekeeping charges. Now you have the flexibility to set specific housekeeping charges for each night of the stay directly within the system. This means you can automatically charge fees, for example for guest consumable items, to a designated account. A more tailored and efficient method for your team to manage housekeeping costs. In addition, we developed a feature to model trust accounting charges, such as daily breakfast revenues to pass to management, based on the age category of guests.
