About us

Welcome to Mori & Mocha Joggers! 🌲☕

We're a friendly, no-pressure group for people who want to start their weekend with a gentle jog through one of Tokyo's beautiful forest-like parks — and meet some good people along the way.

Most running groups in Tokyo gather around Yoyogi or the Imperial Palace. We do things a little differently: our events are held in the leafier, more spacious parks of south and west Tokyo — places like Kinuta Park, Komazawa Olympic Park, Rinshi-no-Mori, and maybe Showa Kinen. Fewer crowds, more trees, and a calmer weekend morning vibe.

This isn't a fitness club. There's no target pace, no training plan, and no one getting left behind. If you can jog (or jog-walk) for a while in good company, you'll fit right in. Some of us are regular runners, some are just here for the trees — both are equally welcome.
What to expect at each event:

A relaxed morning jog (around 30–45 minutes) at a chatty pace
A scenic route through a green park in south or west Tokyo
An optional coffee stop afterwards for anyone who wants to keep the morning going — no pressure to stay

Solo joiners, beginners, expats, locals, and everyone in between — come as you are. The hardest part is showing up; we'll handle the rest.
See you on the trail. 🌿

🌳 Forest Jog in the Middle of Tokyo + Cozy Cafe Hangout ☕ | Meet New Friends

Sat, May 2 · 8:15 AM JST

武蔵小山駅, Tokyo, JP

ㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤWelcome! 🌿
◆━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━◆

Welcome to the Mori & Mocha Joggers event — Saturday, May 2nd! 🎉

We're a group built around one simple idea: make new friends while doing something nice for yourself on a weekend morning.

This is a social event first and foremost — the jog is just a fun way to get the conversation started, and the cozy cafe afterwards is where the real hangout happens.

◆━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━◆
ㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤWhy You'll Love It
◆━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━◆

🌳 A real forest in the middle of Tokyo — Rinshi-no-Mori is a former forestry research site, packed with huge mature trees. It really doesn't feel like Tokyo.
☕ A cozy cafe to wind down in — Lily's Cafe is the warm, friendly kind of spot where an hour disappears in a flash.

💬 Socializing is the whole point — chatty pace, no one left behind, leave with new friends.
🗣 English-friendly — host language is English; perfect for casual language practice.
