Just spent an incredible day at Higashiyama Zoo with my two new coworkers! It was scorching hot, but that didn’t stop us from exploring everything the zoo had to offer. We saw so many amazing animals, from majestic lions to playful monkeys and even some exotic birds. The heat made it a bit of a challenge, but we powered through, bonding over our shared love of wildlife and the occasional ice cream break.
Spirit Animal
Lion
We had the incredible opportunity to meet a majestic lion, sponsored by our company. This sponsorship isn’t just about supporting wildlife; I believe it’s also deeply connected to our commitment to the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). By contributing to the preservation of endangered species and their habitats I think Dandelions is trying promoting biodiversity and ensuring that future generations can experience the wonders of nature. From my experience this involvement reflects the dedication to responsible business practices and environmental stewardship.
On top of the world
The highlight had to be the breathtaking view from the Higashiyama Sky Tower. You could see the whole city stretched out before us—truly stunning! It was a perfect moment to relax and appreciate the day.
Thoughts
Spending time together outside of work really helped us strengthen our relationships and build team spirit. I’m so glad we had this experience—it’s days like this that make you realize how important it is to connect with the people you work with. Spending the day together helped us bond in a way that only shared experiences can. We laughed, learned more about each other, and left feeling like a stronger team. It’s amazing how a fun day out can boost team spirit and strengthen relationships. Looking forward to more adventures together!
Hi! This is ‘ HelloHa ‘! Today I would like to talk about a trip I took to Higashiyama Zoo with my fellow new employees.
Today we went to The HigashiYama Zoo, Yayyy!!
We gathered at the zoo’s main gate at 10:00 a.m., looking forward to today’s adventure. Our first stop was the rhino exhibit area. Surprise and excitement mixed together as soon as we saw the giant rhinos cooling off in the water. The rhinoceros was soaking in the water and closing its eyes, as if it were enjoying a moment of bliss. Just watching them made us feel relaxed.
Next, we went to the otter area. The otters were really energetic, spinning around in the water and playing with each other. Their lively movements naturally brought smiles to everyone’s faces. The sight of the otters bouncing around was so innocent that it made our hearts skip a beat just to watch them.
When we moved to the seal area, we were greeted by graceful swimming seals. They looked at us with their curious eyes as they peeked out of the water. Their adorable appearance made us shout “Cute! I couldn’t help but exclaim, “They are so cute! The graceful swimming of the seals was a moment that soothed my heart.
Next, we headed to the lion exhibit, where majestic lions were making their presence known. Their majestic appearance was breathtaking, and I naturally stood taller as I stood in front of the lions. We all took pictures in front of the (Dande) Lions.
We also looked around at other animals such as gorillas, flamingos, and black leopards. All the animals are so unique that you never get tired of looking at them. In particular, the serious expression on the gorilla’s face and the flamboyant appearance of the flamingos are worth seeing.
And when I climbed up the tower, the view was mind-blowing. The view from the tower was just spectacular, and the city of Nagoya was spread out. I think Nagoya, which I just moved to, is really beautiful. I am sure the night view of Nagoya will also be colorful and fascinating.
After finishing our visit to the zoo, we stopped by a souvenir store. The store was filled with animal-themed goods, all of which were cute and fun to choose from. I got a stuffed rabbit! We each found an item that we liked, and it was a heart-warming moment.
Finally, as I look back at the many pictures I took throughout the zoo, I realize that today’s adventure was truly amazing. Although it was a hot day, it made our interaction with the animals even more enjoyable and gave us many memorable experiences. We left the zoo with smiles on everyone’s faces and a great feeling that today’s adventure had been a wonderful one.
Hello everyone! This is Junpei from the second unit. We are once again fortunate to have welcomed three new employees to Dandelions Co., Ltd. this year. This time, we will introduce the new employee welcome party held in April.
First, a toast!! ~ pleasant conversation
The welcome party started with a toast signal from the organizer.
Many of our members work at our clients’ offices due to work circumstances, so we had a great time talking about our recent activities and hobbies, even though we don’t usually see each other.
New employee greetings
As the atmosphere started to heat up, we asked the new employees to introduce themselves.
The three new employees were of various nationalities and backgrounds, and although they were nervous, they talked about themselves.
L-kun from China, who loves GundamL-kun from Vietnam, who loves traveling and has visited various parts of JapanK-san, who changed jobs from a different industry and has a lot of work experience
Summary The new employees seemed nervous at first, but as the conversation progressed, their tension gradually eased, and it was a very enjoyable welcome party. In fact, Dandelions is planning on welcoming new members in the future, and we hope to provide an opportunity like this for them to deepen their friendships (and drink) when they do.
This blog will continue to introduce various in-house recreational activities, so please look forward to the next article!
I will introduce the learning contents that I am working on on a daily basis as a technician blog. This time, it is the third unit on the theme of infrastructure.
The third unit is managing the Dandelions’ internal network. To strengthen its security, we have introduced a UTM device called FortiGate. “UTM” is an abbreviation for “Unified Threat Management”. In other words, one device can manage the entire network security.
In this technician blog, we will introduce three functions of FortiGate.
① Email filter
As a measure against spam, FortiGate can check the contents of the emails it receives and add any tag to the subject of emails that are detected as suspected spam.
The tag [Spam] is added.
② Intrusion prevention
This function prevents program vulnerabilities, botnets, and other intrusions. “Other intrusions” are, for example, attempts to access the server’s authentication files.
Prevents access to the authentication files of Linux servers.
③ Application Control
You might think that this is a function that allows you to disable certain applications (programs), but it can also restrict the use of websites, not just programs that can be executed individually.
You can restrict the use of YouTube (website) in detail.
Hello, my name is Roru and I joined Dandelions in April this year.
Reason for joining the company
I started job hunting in Japan last year and joined Dandelions in April this year. The reason I joined the company was when I saw Dandelions’ official blog and thought the atmosphere looked fun. I could tell that the company values diversity and inclusion.
And Dandelions has foreign employees from various countries. I think that working together with people from different cultures and backgrounds can broaden your international perspective. I applied for the company for those two reasons. I felt a warmth during the interview. That’s when I decided to join the company.
Thoughts after joining the company
After joining the company, I had a training period of about three months, during which I received basic IT knowledge training and basic training in programming languages. I learned about the basic grammar and concepts of programming languages. Training in basic programming concepts such as variables, conditional branching, repetition, and functions will help me with future coding. In the HTML and CSS training, I learned about the structure of web pages. I learned how to mark up content using HTML and set styles using CSS. By learning how to write HTML and how to apply CSS, I was able to create web pages that are easier to read and more beautiful. In the SQL training, I learned about data manipulation such as adding, updating, and deleting data. I think that creating subqueries using joins will be useful for data manipulation in actual work. In addition, training was given to acquire effective communication skills in business situations. I learned about appropriate language, how to greet, and points to keep in mind when communicating via email and phone. There is a lot to learn in the training content, but the employees teach me carefully. It is always easy to listen to, and the atmosphere is bright and warm. I would like to work harder in the future.
About me
Before coming to Japan, I studied Japanese on my own because I was interested in Japanese anime and culture. I graduated from a liberal arts university in China and decided to study abroad in Japan, and then enrolled in a liberal arts graduate school in Japan. Then, I joined Dandelions in April of this year. My hobby is watching anime and manga. I have watched a lot of anime. Among them, I especially like the “Mobile Suit Gundam” series. I took advantage of my day off and went to Yokohama to see the 18m life-sized moving Gundam. I thought it looked really cool when the Gundam moved. I also enjoyed the Unicorn Gundam statue in Odaiba.
