What we’re about
Events organized by C2 Kyoto, a café/hackerspace located near the Gojo/Karasuma train station.
C2 Retro Gaming Night - an event where retro-computing lovers can chat, have a beer, and play on authentic old-school hardware. Usually the last Saturday of the month.
C2 Makers Meetup - An event for those interested in making things. (Games/apps, robotics, art, etc.) Chat with other creators as well as share your own creations.
C2 Gamedev Meetup - Similar to Makers Meetup, but focused on just one thing: Indie game development. Hang with other devs, see and show your stuff.
C2 Kyoto Riichi Mahjong for beginners - What can we say, Akiko loves Mahjong and will get you addicted too, so be careful.
C2 Board Game Lovers - Let's get-together and play some fantastic board games in a relaxed and friendly environment.
We also sometimes host community-focused events organized by others like the Kyoto web Designers and Developers Meetup and Kansai Rust.
Stay updated on events by following us on twitter.
C2 is owned and run by Seth and Akiko, hit us up if you have any questions.

See all- C2 Board Game Lovers (June)C2 Kyoto, Kyoto
Love board games? Well, let's get-together and play some fantastic ones in a relaxed and friendly environment!
Note: This is on a Saturday from 5 PM to 10 PM!
Fee: One drink minimum - we're loose and not really keeping track, but please support the event by buying a drink roughly every two hours or something. (note: currently we're only able to accept cash payments)
Can I bring my own food/drink?
No, sorry. Please don't bring in outside food or drink. There will be a menu with beer & wine as well as healthy non-alcoholic options. All sales support this event. Cash only!
Sometimes Akiko has food items on the menu as well.
Do I have to be there exactly at the starting time?
Nope! Feel free to come late or come and go as needed.
What if I sign up but later can't make it?
No problem, but please mark yourself as not-attending, if anyone is on the waiting list, they will get automatically moved to the attending list.
What board games do you have?
We have 100+ popular board games. See pics to get an idea. You're more than welcome to bring your own (and hopefully teach us to play!) as well.
What language are your board games?
99% of our games are the English versions. While English tends to be the most popular language at our events, we absolutely welcome people of all languages and will do our best to help everybody have a good time. (and try to recommend the perfect game for any specific group!)
It's too loud and/or I need more space!
Check the 2nd floor, there is a big table up there.
Beware of Google maps being wrong!
There are two addresses in Kyoto with our address (different postal code), so if you type the address into Google/etc make sure it's the one that's a few blocks from Gojo station. To avoid problems, search for "C2 Kyoto" instead - or click the map on this page, or visit www.c2kyoto.com which has a map as well.
Notes and misc:
Code of conduct: Be nice! If you have any questions or problems find Seth or Akiko.
Allergy warning: We have a friendly cavalier named Ten-chan.
Bicycle parking available. (just park 'em anywhere on the driveway in front of our building)
Non-smoking.
Talking outside the building: Please be considerate of noise levels if outside, for our neighbors’ sake. Better to chat inside the building than out on the street. (We've never had complaints, but want to keep it that way!)
Photo Policy: Please respect everyone's privacy by refraining from publicly posting unblurred photos of attendee faces without their permission. Some individuals prefer not to have their faces scanned by bots and AI, as it can disclose their whereabouts on specific dates, which can be creepy.
