Digital nomads are people who can work from anywhere by utilizing digital technology.

It is believed that the number of digital nomads has increased rapidly due to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic. Currently, more than 50 countries are issuing digital nomad visas to attract digital nomads, and Japan has also begun seriously considering a digital nomad visa this year.

In this event, we will be inviting two leading figures in the digital nomad movement as guests to discuss the potential of Japan as a mecca for digital nomads.

A one-day-only social bar, "Nomad"

Our two guests will be acting as managers for the day, and we'll be hosting a one-day-only bar called "Nomad"! We'll have some light refreshments waiting for you.

Enjoy casual interaction!

Participation fee: Cash only (light refreshments will be provided.)
