COMPLETED
  Tokyo, Japan

  Apr 5, 2023 - Apr 11, 2023

Come join us in Tokyo, Japan, for a fun-filled and community-centered worldschooling gathering April 5-11, 2023. The Worldschool Pop-Up Hub provides super casual, budget-friendly opportunities to gather, connect with other worldschoolers, learn about the local area, instill new friendships, share your insights, and immerse in a friendly, accepting mobile community. Our activities highlight local nature, arts, history, food, and culture... but you'll also have plenty of time to relax, get to know each other, and even stray from the itinerary to add activities that cater to the group's interests. Pop in for a few days or the full week. Join as many activities as you'd like. It's up to you! Our itinerary will include activities such as the following: *Ueno Park and zoo for a picnic, paddle boats, and national museums *Ameyoko, a lively outdoor street market with discount shops and restaurants *Asakusa, a cultural center with temples, pagodas, and shops showcasing Japanese traditional snacks, clothing, & toys *Akihabara, the electronics, manga, and anime mecca *Harajuku, a trendy district known for kawaii (cute) fashion culture *Shinjuku, the skyscraper city within a city along with a vast underground network and 45th floor observation deck atop the Tokyo Metro building *Odaiba, an expansive area on reclaimed land from Tokyo Bay with entertainment-oriented attractions, science center, shopping centers, and Tokyo's wholesale food market *Yokohama city with its Chinatown and bay area attractions including the Nippon Maru sailing ship, Cup of Noodles Museum where you can design and make your own Cup of Noodles, and the monstrous Gundam moving robot *Eating at an izakaya restaurant, where each restaurant serves up a variety of small, delicious Japanese dishes, generally unique to each establishment *Eating at kaiten sushi, a rotating conveyor belt sushi restaurant *Singing your heart out in a private echoing karaoke room, or applauding (or laughing) at the others while enjoying snacks and drinks *Nakameguro Cherry Blossom Festival (our dates line up with the tail end of cherry blossom season although viewing season changes yearly depending on the weather, so this is not guaranteed)
