The Tokyo spontaneous hangout welcomes any kinds of members and variety of activities.

I will do my best to set up interesting events, and will try to give tips of exploring Tokyo as local, but I couldn't be any happier if you would suggest ideas proactively (and spontaneously!!), which will help us make this meetup more and more active. Join us and have fun together …

Since the last 30 years we see more and more movements who propose us …

Experience Tokyo is a group for people who want to take advantage of all that Tokyo has to offer. I will be planning small outings to festivals, markets, and historical sites, as well as “Shitamachi” old Tokyo neighborhoods and deeper areas you won’t find in a guidebook.
