GOKAYAMA

Japan, with its serene, snow-veiled destinations, transforms into a wonderland during the colder months. Among its winter gems, Toyama stands out as a haven for those who embrace the beauty of the season. Just a 2 to 3-hour ride from Tokyo via the Hokuriku Shinkansen, this coastal prefecture offers access to snow-covered areas of Japan.

 

From Gokayama's postcard-perfect villages to the soul-soothing Unazuki Onsen, we've curated the must-see spots in Toyama for a winter adventure like no other. So pack up, grab your gloves, and get ready to explore this polar paradise!

 

Gokayama

Gokayama, tucked within the mountains of Toyama, feels like a scene from a snow globe. Known for its 40 small villages, two of which—Ainokura and Suganuma—are UNESCO World Heritage sites, the area comes alive in winter, covered in a thick blanket of snow. These steeply pitched roofs, designed to handle heavy snowfall, are surrounded by quiet, pristine landscapes that invite you to pause and take it all in. Accessible by bus from JR Takaoka Station, Gokayama is your gateway to experiencing Japan’s rich cultural heritage backdropped by white topography. During winter, the villages of Ainokura and Suganuma host magical lighting events, illuminating their snow-covered scenery and creating a serene winter spectacle

Amaharashi Coast

The Amaharashi Coast, stretching along Toyama Bay, offers a captivating mix of the rugged coastline and the marvelous Tateyama Mountain Range. In winter, the snow-dusted mountains create a stunning contrast against the crashing waves, which draw surfers to the area. This peaceful and dramatic landscape makes the Amaharashi Coast a perfect place for those who want to immerse themselves in nature's beauty, whether it’s the quiet of the beach or the energy of the sea.

Toyama Castle

Toyama Castle offers a different kind of winter charm. Located in the city center, the castle stands as a reminder of the region's history and culture. Surrounded by a peaceful park, the scene becomes even more magical in winter, when snow decorates the traditional architecture and reflects in the still waters of the moat. Originally built in the 16th century, the castle offers visitors a glimpse into Japan’s feudal era not far from the city.

Shogawa Gorge

For a tranquil yet stunning setting, head to Shogawa Gorge. The dramatic cliffs and clear waters of the Shogawa River take on a serene, icy beauty during winter. Scenic boat rides and walking trails provide picture-perfect views of snow-covered landscapes. Just a 70-minute bus ride from Takaoka Station via the JR Hokuriku Main Line, this hidden gem is a peaceful retreat into nature, ideal for those seeking quiet beauty.

Unazuki Onsen

After a day of snowy escapades, unwind at Unazuki Onsen, a cozy hot spring town calmly situated in Toyama’s mountains. Located along the Kurobe River, this resort is the ultimate spot to soak in thermal waters while admiring the white-capped view. Traditional ryokan inns add to the charm, making Unazuki Onsen a perfect mix of relaxation and nature. It’s easily accessible by train from Toyama City, so you can enjoy its rejuvenating warmth without hassle. In addition to its famous footbaths, Unazuki offers visitors the chance to purchase handmade necklaces crafted by local artisans, a perfect souvenir to remember your serene escape.

Toyama’s Traditional Seafood

Experience the true flavors of Toyama, where fresh seafood from Toyama Bay like white shrimp and firefly squid take center stage. Don’t miss the local Winter Yellowtail–known as the “king of winter delicacies”–paired perfectly with the region’s smooth craft sake. Each dish reflects Toyama’s deep connection to the land and sea, offering a tidal taste of the area’s local heritage and natural resources.

 

 

 

This winter, skip the tropical heat and embrace the quiet magic of Toyama’s snow-covered landscapes. From the fairytale charm of Gokayama to the towering snow walls of the Tateyama Mountains, Toyama showcases winter at its finest. Add the cozy retreats of Unazuki Onsen and the scenic beauty of Shogawa Gorge, and you’ve got the ultimate snowy paradise.

TP earns Gender-Inclusive Workplace recognition at UN Women 2024 Asia-Pacific WEPs Awards

 

TP in the Philippines wins the 1st Runner-Up award for the Gender-Inclusive Workplace category at the 2024 UN Asia Pacific Women’s Empowerment Principles (WEPS) Awards. (Second and third from left) Chief Operating Officer Tanya Famador and Executive Vice President & TP Women Chair Toni Tompar receive the award presented by UN Women Program Analyst Antoinette Santos, Australian Ambassador to the Philippines H.K. Yu, and Amy Baume, UN Women Regional Office for Asia and the Pacific representative.

Teleperformance (TP) in the Philippines has been honored as 1st Runner-Up for the Gender-Inclusive Workplace category of the United Nations Women 2024 Asia-Pacific Women’s Empowerment Principles (WEPs) Awards.

As the only business process outsourcing company to be awarded under the Gender-Inclusive Workplace category, this milestone marks TP’s first recognition from UN Women, “the United Nations entity dedicated to gender equality and the empowerment of women and girls.”

 

“This award is a testament to our shared commitment to champion women empowerment and gender equality across all levels of the organization,” said Toni Tompar, TP Women Chair and Executive Vice President of Operations. “It is an affirmation of the meaningful progress we have made across the years in building a workplace where women are empowered to grow, lead, and make an impact. Now, more than ever, we are inspired to continue breaking barriers and driving change for an even more inclusive future.” 

 

TP’s high-touch and high-tech approach was instrumental in the attainment of the award, with its globally acclaimed and multi-awarded TP Cloud Campus remote work solution complementing the efforts of TP Women, the company’s grassroots employee resource group (ERG) of women-empowering-women.

 

Under the company’s dedicated Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DE&I) program, TP Women has built a vibrant community of women leaders and advocates, that provides mentorship, care support, and regular engagement activities for over 35,000 women employees across TP’s 27 sites in Luzon, Visayas, and Mindanao. Since its inception in 2019, TP Women continues to hold spaces and provide a wider platform for women to share experiences and strengthen their leadership capabilities. 

 

In response to the reconfiguration of the business landscape and new workplace dynamics, TP launched its Cloud Campus solution, further expanding and augmenting its operations in the provinces outside Metro Manila. In 2022, TP established the Laoag Cloud Campus microsite in northern Philippines, and then a second one at General Santos City in southern Philippines in the same year as well.

 

Lauded locally and internationally, TP Cloud Campus contributes to the growth of local economies, bringing more rewarding opportunities for communities and, especially to marginalized individuals such as solo parents, persons with disabilities, and working students.

 

In particular, women have greatly benefitted from the increased economic empowerment and redistribution of domestic carework brought about by remote work opportunities in the IT-BPM sector. Presently, over 60% of the workforce employed across TP’s Cloud Campus hubs are women. 

 

“Through programs like TP Women and TP Cloud Campus, we are not only creating opportunities but also ensuring that every woman is heard, empowered, and celebrated. We will continue to innovate and partner with organizations like UN Women to gain more ground in championing women’s career development and gender equality, within TP and across the communities where we operate,said Tanya Famador, Chief Operating Officer of Teleperformance in the Philippines.

 

The UN Women Asia-Pacific WEPs Awards is “the first regional awards initiative that recognizes companies who are taking action for gender equality in the region aligned to the Women’s Empowerment Principles.”
