What we’re about
🇯🇵 Connect, Work, and Chill in Old Tokyo! 🍻💻
Welcome to Asakusa / Kuramae Digital Nomads! ( https://aknomads.tokyo )
We are a community hub connecting international remote workers, travelers, and locals in the East Tokyo area (Asakusa, Kuramae, Sumida).
Asakusa is famous for its history, and Kuramae is known as "Tokyo's Brooklyn" with artisan coffee shops. We believe this area is the best place to live and work in Tokyo.

Digital Nomads working in Tokyo.
Travelers who want to meet locals and other travelers.
Locals / Japanese who want to speak English and make global friends.
Creators, Engineers, Artists, and anyone who loves this vibe!
🍻 What we do:
Casual Meetups: Drinking nights at local Izakayas (e.g., Hoppy Street).
Morning Coffee: Start the day together at riverside cafes.
Co-working: Focus sessions at work-friendly spots.
Info Exchange: Sharing tips about hidden gems in Asakusa.
🌟 Our Mission:
To eliminate loneliness for travelers and create a "home" where global minds can mix with Japanese culture. The organizer used to be a digital nomad abroad and wants to pay it forward to visitors in Japan.
⚠️ Important:
This is a friendly community for networking and making friends.
No solicitation, MLM, or aggressive sales allowed.
Let's respect each other and have fun!

💡 Why am I doing this?
Hi, I’m Tacchinardi, I work at a platform company in Tokyo. When I was a digital nomad abroad, local meetups helped me so much. I wanted to create a similar "home" here in Asakusa.
Asakusa is not just for sightseeing—it's a great place to work and live. Let's build a community together!
