In January 2025, our laboratory held a joint hot springs trip and New Year party with the Intelligent Communications Laboratory. We stayed at Jozankei View Hotel, which provided an excellent opportunity to strengthen relationships, transcending the boundaries of laboratories.

We enjoyed delicious meals and spent a wonderful time together. After dinner, we organized inter-laboratory games to deepen exchanges between both labs, which resulted in intense and exciting competitions.

This trip was planned and organized primarily by Mr. Imukai, Mr. Kimura, and Mr. Ueda from our laboratory, along with Mr. Konishi, Mr. Shishikura, and Mr. Yabe from the Intelligent Communications Laboratory. We would like to thank everyone who helped create these wonderful memories.

Through this trip, the bond between our laboratories has strengthened, giving us a good start for our research activities in 2025. Let’s all work together and do our best this year!
