THREE SMALL STEPS

Your first time. Your own pace.

We value wanting to understand each other more than speaking perfectly. You do not need to be at the center of the group from the start. It is enough to come with curiosity and a wish to connect.

  1. 1

    Find an event that interests you

    Read the announcement for the date, meeting point, fee and availability. Ask before joining if a deadline or what to bring is unclear.

  2. 2

    Message us on LINE or Instagram

    Include the event name and date, for example: ‘I'd like to join the hike on September 12.’ Feel free to add any questions or concerns.

  3. 3

    Read the joining details and come along

    Check the organizer's reply for where to meet and how to join. Use the same contact if your plans change or you can no longer attend.

QUESTIONS

Before your first visit

Can I come on my own?

Yes. First-time and solo participants are welcome. If anything feels uncertain, message us on our official LINE account or Instagram before the event.

Do I need to speak English well?

No. This is not a language competition. We mix Japanese and English and value the wish to get to know one another.

Where and when do you meet?

Dates and locations vary by event. We also take trips outside Tokyo. Check the current announcement and Instagram for the latest details.

Are there fees or joining requirements?

They depend on the event. Check the date, location, fee and availability in its announcement, and ask on LINE or Instagram about anything that is not listed.

WHAT WE DO

Small shared experiences. New connections.

Our activities grow from the things members would like to try. Whether you want to meet new people, explore a culture or do something for others, there is room to start at your own pace.

Cultural exchange

Talk, laugh and discover different languages and cultures. You do not need to be confident in English; curiosity about one another is a good place to start.

Volunteering

We bring together small things we can do for others, gradually growing activities that connect us with local communities and children.

Culture in Tokyo

Walks, food, books and art. Members' interests open the door to local culture and perspectives we have yet to discover.

LET’S TALK

Start with what's on your mind.

Tell us which activity caught your eye, or ask anything about your first visit. A short message is a good start.
