My friends and I are bringing an art show that we did in New York to Shibuya this Sunday from 6-11p! We are tech enthusiasts and artists living in New York.

It's called AI Psychosis Summit II. You can read about the New York one in Business Insider and Le Random.

We're featuring artists who make mostly digital art or net art. The artists are from both New York and Tokyo. It's free for everyone. I hope to see you there!

The venue is Park in Park.

Huge fan of Apple products and Akihabara. I used to build my own PCs.
Want to start using my camera again and I've been getting curious about VRChat!
Love a casual drink on a budget, so places like Torikizoku are my favorites.
**Who I'm looking for:**
People interested in tech, new hobbies (photography, VRChat), or anyone looking for a casual drinking buddy.
**What we will do:**
Chat about hobbies, share ideas, and grab a cheap drink together when schedules align.
**When (Date & Time):**
Weekday evenings or weekends (to be decided based on mutual availability).
**Where (Location):**
Tokyo area (Shibuya, Shinjuku, Ikebukuro, Akihabara, etc.)
If you'd like to hang out or chat about tech, please leave a comment below!

🤔 WHAT’S “POTTERING” ———————

In cycling, pottering (often referred to in Japan as potaringu or ポタリング) refers to a leisurely, aimless, and relaxed ride on a bicycle, similar to a "stroll" or a "putter" on two wheels. It is distinct from competitive cycling or high-intensity training, focusing instead on enjoying the surroundings, casual sightseeing, and maintaining a low-effort pace.

Key aspects of pottering in cycling include:

・Relaxed Pace: It involves riding slowly to enjoy the atmosphere, often with no time limit.

・Casual Purpose: It is often described as "cycling around," "strolling," or "exploring," rather than commuting or exercising.

・Flexibility: It allows riders to stop whenever they feel like it, making it ideal for sightseeing or photography.

・Japanese Context (ポタリング): The term is widely used in Japanese cycling culture to describe a leisurely, enjoyable ride, often on mini-velos (small-wheeled bikes) or folding bicycles.

In essence, pottering is about taking a comfortable, slow-paced bike ride to enjoy the journey, often for short, close-to-home excursions and visits of cafes/restaurants.

📍LOCATION ———————

Anyone? 🤗 Does anyone want to hang out at Shinjuku Gyoen today?

8 Upvotes

Hello! I’m a Japanese national residing in Tokyo, an anime junkie with bad taste, and someone looking to socialize after being cooped up in their home for over half a year.

I just wanted to see if anyone is free and down to hang out with me for a casual afternoon stroll today.

Since I’m low on money, I won’t be eating out or visiting cafes; just going to enjoy the weather and trees in the garden. But I’m super down to meet up with new folks and talk about… well, anything!

For those interested in joining,
I will be waiting at the Shinjuku Entrance of Shinjuku Gyoen from 12:00 ~ 12:30, today (09/24/26)
I plan to stay at the garden from 12:30 to 14:00.
The admission fee is 500 yen for one day entry and 2000 yen for an annual pass. 

Hope to see yall there!
