Can you focus on your work while riding a ferris wheel? — MANFRED RICHTER/Pixabay

The coronavirus pandemic has turned one Japanese theme park into a new workplace for teleworkers, with a haunted house for the bargain. Last week, Yomiuriland, an amusement park in Tokyo, launched an “amusement workation” package to include a working booth next to its pool, and a ride on its observation ferris wheel with a portable WiFi router.

“I love working outside. This is a good plan, and it feels great, ” said Tatsuki Yamamoto, 47, president of a IT solutions firm FLEQ, sitting on a white pool chair with his laptop.
