About us

Tokyo has lots to offer, but there's so much more to discover beyond the city.

Let's explore together through nature, local food, Japanese culture, hands-on experiences, and meaningful connections with people.

This group is for those who enjoy getting outdoors, discovering hidden places, experiencing local culture, meeting like-minded people, and making the most of weekends beyond Tokyo.

This group is not just about joining a one-off day trip. We're building a community where people with similar interests can make friends, reconnect, and continue exploring together.

We're based in Ogawamachi, Saitama, just about one hour from Ikebukuro by direct train. Many of our events take place here, combining nature, local food, and hands-on experiences such as hiking, farming expreiences, seasonal cooking, forest activities, and exploring the Japanese countryside. We also organize day trips to other unique destinations that are easy to reach from Tokyo.

Rather than simply sightseeing, we believe the best way to experience Japan is by getting involved: spending time in nature, sharing meals, trying new activities, and meeting local people.

Our members are mostly nature lovers, and it's always a pleasure to meet people who share similar interests. About half of our participants are returning members and half are first-time visitors, so you'll always find both familiar faces and newcomers. Whether you come alone or with friends, you'll be warmly welcomed.

Our organizers speak both English and Japanese, so there's no need to worry about the language barrier.

We look forward to exploring with you!
