The Real Japan MeetUps
by Rob Dyer
Different year, different location
Every year* I run a The Real Japan MeetUp in a different location in Japan.
It’s an opportunity for members of The Real Japan community to get together over a few drinks and a bite to eat, to share travel stories and experiences, and to make new friends.

Meet old friends and make new ones
Attendees often establish firm friendships at TRJ MeetUps – which is great to see.

The Real Japan Travel Goodie Bag
Oh, and everyone attending has the chance to win The Real Japan Travel Goodie Bag – packed with an exciting (and useful) selection of Japan travel-related goodies and a tasty snack or two!

Watch videos of the previous MeetUps below…
