About us
Explore Nature Tokyo is a community for people who love nature, outdoor experiences, and meaningful international friendships.
We organize weekend hikes, nature walks, coastal walks, and outdoor adventures around Tokyo, exploring Japan's beautiful mountains, forests, parks, islands, and waterfronts.
Our goal is simple: enjoy the outdoors, discover new places, meet open-minded people from around the world, and build genuine friendships through shared experiences.
Whether you're new to Japan or have lived here for years, everyone is welcome. We value kindness, respect, and an inclusive atmosphere where people can enjoy great conversations while exploring and experiencing Japan together.

ð¬ð§ ABOUT THIS EVENT
Experience one of Japan's most magical summer evenings at Enoshima!
For a limited time, Enoshima Lantern Festival 2026 transforms the island into a breathtaking world of glowing lanterns, beautiful coastal scenery, and traditional Japanese atmosphere. Recognized as one of the Kanto Three Great Night Illuminations, the festival features over 1,000 lanterns illuminating Enoshima's shrines, gardens, and historic streets.
During this special weekend, we'll also experience Shadow Art Night, an exclusive live performance held for only two evenings at Samuel Cocking Garden.
We'll explore Enoshima on foot, walking through its charming streets, historic shrines, and lantern-lit pathways together. Along the way we'll enjoy the sunset over Sagami Bay, take a relaxing break, and finish the evening with the spectacular Shadow Art Night performance.
Whether you're visiting Japan, new to Tokyo, or have lived here for years, everyone is welcome!
