A Message from Welcome Tokyo: Why We Started This Event
Many large-scale parties with over 100 guests happen every weekend in Tokyo. While they offer many chances to meet people, we know that many of you feel, "I'm too shy to talk to strangers," or "I don't know how to start a conversation." The founders of Welcome Tokyo felt exactly the same way when we started 20 years ago. We were once in your shoes—wanting to connect but feeling hesitant in large crowds.
That is why we created our unique "Shuffle System." With the help of our experienced organizers, you can meet new people instantly and guaranteed. By rotating groups multiple times throughout the event, we ensure that even those who aren't "natural communicators" have multiple opportunities to connect with different people effortlessly.
For 20 years, our mission has been to help you build meaningful connections and lead a happier, more global life through these shuffle events. Don't worry about being shy—come join us, let us handle the introductions, and start making friends today!
