Digital Nomads Osaka

This is the CLIMAX of Digital Nomad Week Osaka 2026 Spring! ✨

We are taking you on a full-day, immersive journey through the "Deep Osaka" that you will never find in a guidebook.
Inspired by Hideyoshi Toyotomi—Japan's first "Community Manager" who united the country through networking and tea—we will travel through time, connect with locals, and build our own global family.

Our special local host for the day is Mr. Koshiba (Nickname: Genki-san), the owner of a traditional Japanese house (Kominka) cafe called "anywhere cafe".
He knows everyone and everything about this deep local area!

What we will do (Draft Schedule for Thursday, April 10th):

• 10:30 AM: Meet up at our coworking space, The DECK (Sakaisuji-Hommachi).
• 11:00 AM - 12:00 PM: The Retro Tram Ride!
  We will head to Ebisucho Station and hop on the historic "Chin-Chin Tram" (Hankai Tramway) like true locals, riding down to Abikomichi Station.
• 12:00 PM - 4:00 PM: Historical Fieldwork in Sakai.
  Guided by Genki-san, we will explore Sakai City—Get ready for an exclusive, up-close visit to a traditional blacksmith's forge to witness the intense art of Japanese knife-making. Afterward, we will visit a local knife museum for a very special session: hearing directly from a French artisan who has dedicated his life to mastering Sakai's traditional knife-making techniques!
• 4:00 PM - 6:00 PM: Kominka Experience & VR Tour @ anywhere cafe. We will return to Genki-san's traditional cafe. Experience cooking rice using an old-school wood-fired stove (Kamado) and make your own "Onigiri" (rice balls). We'll also enjoy a cutting-edge VR sightseeing tour of Japan!
• 6:00 PM - 8:00 PM: Sanshin Experience & Local Party!
  The grand finale! Try playing the Sanshin (traditional Japanese guitar), enjoy a live performance, eat, drink, and party with the local people.
