About this event

🗓 Date: Friday, October 9, 2026 ⏰ Time: 6:30 PM – 9:00 PM 📍 Location: Hibiya Park Fountain, Tokyo (https://maps.app.goo.gl/wp3Hy4tYsaA4YYmv6) 1-6 Hibiyakoen, Chiyoda City, Tokyo 100-0012, Japan (3-minute walk from Hibiya Line – Exit A14) 💴 Fee: ¥1,200 Event Details: Spend Friday evening meeting new people at a relaxed outdoor picnic in Hibiya Park, right in central Tokyo. We’ll settle in together for a few hours of conversation, snacks, and an easy start to the long weekend. There’s no formal networking, no icebreakers, and no structured program — just a comfortable social setting 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, join a game, take a quiet break, or simply enjoy being around others. There’s 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 • Bug spray What to Expect: 🌿 Relaxed Friday night picnic 💬 Natural conversations without forced networking 🌍 A mix of expats, locals, and internationals 👋 Lots of solo attendees and first-timers 🍂 Early autumn atmosphere in central Tokyo Why You'll Enjoy It: • Easy way to meet people in a comfortable setting • Very central location with convenient train access • 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 Friday-night events What to Bring: • Drinks/snacks if you’d like • Water • A light layer in case it gets cooler later in the evening How to Join: 1.
