Tokyo Expat Picnic at Kitanomaru Park — Autumn Saturday Social 🍂🌿

About this event

🗓 Date: Saturday, November 14, 2026 ⏰ Time: 2:30 PM – 5:00 PM 📍 Location: Kitanomaru Park (https://maps.app.goo.gl/voRVfG5JDDp9esiC6) Meeting Point: Clock Tower near Nippon Budokan (https://maps.app.goo.gl/7Nhd9zjJaNAkJeRu7) 💴 Fee: ¥1,200 Event Details: Spend Saturday afternoon meeting new people at a relaxed autumn picnic in Kitanomaru Park, one of central Tokyo’s quieter green spaces. We’ll settle in together for a few hours of conversation, snacks, and an easy afternoon outside as Tokyo moves further into autumn. There’s no formal networking, structured activity, or pressure to be especially outgoing. You can move between conversations, stay with one group, join a casual game, take a quiet break, or simply enjoy being around other people. The picnic is open to expats, locals, internationals, travelers, students, remote workers, and anyone interested in making friends in Tokyo. Most people come to TESC events alone, including many first-timers, so arriving without already knowing anyone is completely normal. Kitanomaru Park sits beside the Imperial Palace area and is only a short walk from Kudanshita Station, giving us plenty of greenery while still being very central. 📸 Instagram: @tokyoexpatclub (https://www.instagram.com/tokyoexpatclub?igsh=MWc3Zmc4eDFjaDh0OA%3D%3D&utm_source=qr) 🪩Discord: Tokyo Expat Social Club (https://discord.gg/E9wS8da5bS) 🌿Substack: Tokyo Expat Social Club (http://tokyoexpatsocialclub.substack.com) 💬LINE Group: Tokyo Expat Social Club LINE Group (https://line.me/ti/g2/59cCXk2LJxd9QKnnDpgQZgZJ8Od9d0GK8c3fsw?utm_source=invitation&utm_medium=link_copy&utm_campaign=default) What’s Provided: • Picnic sheets • Light snacks to share • Optional games such as UNO and playing cards • Bug spray if needed What to Expect: 🍂 Relaxed autumn picnic in central Tokyo 🌿 Green, quieter park setting 💬 Natural conversations without forced networking 🌍 Mix of expats, locals, and internationals 👋 Plenty of solo attendees and first-timers Why You’ll Enjoy It: • Easy way to meet people in a comfortable setting • Plenty of time to talk, relax, and move between groups • Welcoming atmosphere for both new and returning members • A calmer alternative to bars, clubs, and crowded weekend socials What to Bring: • Drinks/snacks if you’d like • Water • A light jacket or layer for later in the afternoon How to Join: 1.
