With Tokyo Tower nearby, Shiba Park gives us an easy place to sit together, share snacks, and enjoy the transition from daylight into the evening. This is not a formal networking event or a structured activity — it’s simply a comfortable social gathering where conversations can develop naturally. The picnic is open to expats, locals, internationals, travelers, students, remote workers, and anyone interested in making friends in Tokyo. You can move between conversations, stay with one group, take a quiet break, or simply enjoy being around others. There is no pressure to be highly outgoing. Most attendees come alone, including many people joining Tokyo Expat Social Club for the first time, so arriving without knowing anyone is completely normal. 📸 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 (UNO, playing cards, etc.) • Bug spray What to Expect: 🗼 Evening picnic near Tokyo Tower 🌿 Relaxed outdoor atmosphere in central Tokyo 💬 Natural conversations without forced networking 🌍 A 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 • Central location with several nearby train stations • Space to talk, listen, relax, and move between groups • Welcoming atmosphere for both new and returning members • A calmer alternative to bars, clubs, and crowded social events What to Bring: • Drinks/snacks if you’d like • Water, portable fan, or cooling towel recommended • Light clothing for summer weather How to Join: 1.
