In 2014, the Sanrō Research Institute surveyed 2,000 member companies, and 122 gave valid answers. 29.1 percent said they had revived company events. Among the companies holding leisure and recreation events, the most common was the company trip, shain ryokō, held by 46.0 percent.
Employees are less sure. In a December 2024 survey by the company Selva, 300 office workers in their twenties to fifties were asked about company events. 47 percent were against them and 23 percent in favor. About half said they did not want to take part in company trips or sports days.
