If you love or are interested in workation, why not come and make some connections in Shibuya, Tokyo on Tuesday, November 25th?

■What is Workcation MEET UP?

The Japan Workation Association, a general incorporated association, holds "Workcation MEET UP," a networking event for people who love or are interested in workcation, tailored to the needs of the whole country. Now that it's easier to meet in person, we've received voices from all over saying that people who are interested in workcation want to "interact and connect," so we've held events in various regions.

We are currently holding events across the country, and this time it will be held in Shibuya, Tokyo. We hope that even those living in the Kanto region will have the opportunity to learn more about Shibuya, one of Japan's central areas. We aim to bring together various ideas, exchange ideas, and engage in exchanges around the theme of workation. Click here to see photos of past events. Participants are also posting on various social media platforms such as X (formerly Twitter) using the hashtag #workationMEETUP.
