Tokyo Expat Padel Social — Holiday Afternoon Games at Mizumachi 🎾

Tue, Sep 22 · 3:45 PM JST

Padel Tokyo Mizumachi, 1 Chome-32-4 Mukojima, Sumida City, Tokyo 131-0033, Japan, Tokyo, JP

🗓 Date: Tuesday, September 22, 2026
⏰ Time: 3:45 PM – 6:00 PM
📍 Location: Padel Tokyo Mizumachi
1 Chome-32-4 Mukojima, Sumida City, Tokyo
💴 Fee: ¥3,500 per person
Racket rental included; rental shoes available for ¥300.

Event Details:
Spend the holiday afternoon playing padel with Tokyo Expat Social Club at Padel Tokyo Mizumachi.
We have three courts reserved for two full hours, giving us plenty of space to rotate teams, mix up opponents, and keep everyone playing throughout the session.

Padel is easy to get into even if you’ve never played before. It combines elements of tennis and squash, but the smaller court and walls make rallies easier to build and the game naturally quite social.
We’ll keep the atmosphere casual rather than highly competitive. Some people will be joining for the first time, others have played at previous TESC padel events, and more experienced players are welcome too.

You don’t need to bring a partner or already know anyone. We’ll organize the rotations on the day so you’ll have chances to play with different people throughout the afternoon. The courts at Tokyo Mizumachi sit close to the Sumida River and Tokyo Skytree, making it a fun place to spend part of the holiday outdoors.

This is an easygoing social picnic rather than a structured event. You can move between conversations, sit quietly for a while, meet a few new people, or simply enjoy the view with the group.
Odaiba gives us plenty of open space, waterfront scenery, and a slower atmosphere than central Tokyo — making it a nice place to spend part of the holiday without needing a big plan.

The event is open to expats, locals, internationals, travelers, and anyone looking to meet people in Tokyo in a relaxed setting.
Many attendees come on their own, and plenty of people will be joining Tokyo Expat Social Club for the first time, so arriving solo is completely normal.

Tokyo Expat Board Game Social — Saturday Afternoon at Impact Hub 🎲

Sat, Sep 26 · 3:00 PM JST

Impact Hub Tokyo, 〒153-0063 東京都TokyoMeguro, 2 Chome−11, 目黒区目黒 2-11-3 印刷工場１階, Tokyo, JP

🗓 Date: Saturday, September 26, 2026
⏰ Time: 3:00 PM – 5:45 PM
📍 Location: Impact HUB Tokyo
Meguro City, Meguro, 2 Chome−11−3 印刷工場 １階, Tokyo
💴 Fee: ¥2,000

Event Details:
Spend Saturday afternoon playing board games and meeting people at Impact Hub Tokyo.
We’ll have a mix of casual board games and card games that are easy to learn, fun in a group, and leave plenty of space for conversation between rounds.

You definitely don’t need to be a serious board-game person. Some people come because they love games, others mostly come to meet people, and plenty are just looking for an easy indoor plan for the afternoon.
We’ll split into smaller tables depending on the games people want to play, switch things around throughout the afternoon, and keep the atmosphere casual rather than competitive.

Board games also make meeting people a little easier: there’s always something happening at the table, so you don’t have to walk into a room and immediately make conversation from nothing.
Many attendees join solo, including first-timers, so coming without knowing anyone is completely normal.
