Say Goodbye to Awkward Networking

Tired of walking into a room and wondering who to talk to? We hear you. Back by popular demand after our hit Autumn social, this year’s Summer Kickoff is a 100% "Structured Social." There will be zero standing awkwardly in corners. Instead, we’ve designed a dynamic, guided afternoon of movement activities and cozy, small-group connection circles.

Whether you are a seasoned extrovert or a quiet introvert, our intentional prompts make it effortless to share your story, voice your goals, and ask for the support you need in a safe, celebratory space.

Sun. June 21st, 2026. 1pm-4pm JST

In-person event at Impact HUB in Tokyo

Open to Women in Japan

¥500 for Members of FEW Japan, ¥1,000 for non-members.

What to Expect

Pitch Your Passions & Lead the Way

This is more than our final hurrah before the summer programs hiatus — it’s also a launchpad for second half of YOUR 2026.

The afternoon will be completely interactive and facilitated, with structured micro-pitch circles, conversation prompts, and plenty of low-pressure space to connect with other women and champion yourself.

Plus: We are pulling back the curtain on our upcoming calendar, including the reveal of our FEWture conference in June 2027! We want your voice to shape it.

Want to apply for a leadership role on our Board of Directors, pitch a 15-minute masterclass for next year's stage, or pilot a new member-led Community Circle (like a seasonal book club or Tokyo pub quiz night)? We want to make it happen!

Celebrate the Solstice with Community

Come enjoy a refreshing summer drink at the beautiful Impact HUB Tokyo, connect deeply with mission-driven women, and leave with a clear strategy for your summer goals.

Secure your spot today, bring your big ideas, and let’s kick off the season together!

Join us for Part 2 with certified sophrologist Gaelle Chatenet!

This in-person workshop is a follow-up session to extend the heartfelt wisdom, vulnerability, and expert guidance from Part 1. You do not need to have attended Part 1 to participate: all are welcome.

From Gaëlle: "The story you tell yourself shapes the life you live. Change the story, and you transform your world."

 

Thursday, June 18th, 2026 6:30-8:30pm JST

In-Person event in Tokyo at Arisu Iki-iki Plaza

This event is open to women in Japan

¥500 (Payment required at registration)

Rewrite Your Inner Story, Transform Your Life

We all carry inner stories — the silent narratives that shape how we see ourselves, others, and the world. Some stories empower us, while others quietly limit our potential. In this transformative workshop, you’ll learn how to recognize, rewrite, and realign your inner narrative using powerful tools from Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP) and Sophrology.

Through guided exercises, visualization, gentle body awareness, and mindful language shifts, you will:

  • Identify the unconscious patterns that hold you back
  • Reconnect with your authentic values and strengths
  • Learn how to consciously reshape your self-talk and beliefs
  • Cultivate calm, confidence, and clarity for lasting change
  • By changing your inner story, you change the way you experience your life.

Join us for a journey of awareness, release, and renewal — and step into the next chapter of your life with intention and ease.

 

What to Bring:

We will be in a Minami Azabu community center, Arisu Iki-iki Plaza, for this workshop. Please bring your own water and we recommend bringing along a paper and pen.

International Women's Day 2026

You don't need permission to tell your story. But sometimes it helps to have some company.

If you've been thinking sharing your story and showing up online, this is the workshop for you.

Maybe you navigated a massive career shift, learned a lesson the messy way in Japan, or have creative work sitting in your drafts folder.

What if this year, you finally hit publish?

This International Women's Day, FEW Japan is creating space for women ready to put their story in the spotlight.

Sun. March 15th, 2026 2pm-4pm JST

Hybrid event at Code Chrysalis in Tokyo / on Zoom

FEW Japan Members and non-Member women in Japan

¥1,000 for Members of FEW Japan, ¥2,000 for non-members. Attending on Zoom is free.

What to Expect

We'll kickoff with a brief panel conversation with women who've built meaningful online presences by showing up as themselves. We'll explore questions like:

  • What was the first thing you ever shared publicly, and how did it feel?
  • What's something you almost didn't post — but did anyway?
  • What would you tell someone who's been sitting on a story or idea for months?

Then we'll move to small groups where you'll discuss different storytelling formats (creative writing, LinkedIn reflections, creativity on Instagram) and discover what feels right for your story.

You'll leave with something concrete — a good dose of inspiration, plus a plan you can actually act on.

This workshop is for women like you

  • You've been meaning to start a blog, newsletter, a book, or YouTube channel but keep putting it off
  • You have something to share on LinkedIn but worry it's "too much"
  • You've written something personal but can't bring yourself to post it
  • You want to promote your book, project, or business but feel uncomfortable with self-promotion
  • You're not sure which platform or format fits your voice
  • You just need someone to tell you: Yes, your story matters. Yes, people want to hear it.

Who's facilitating?

We're bringing together a diverse panel of women who've found their voices across different platforms and mediums. Guest speakers will be announced soon — watch this space and follow us on LinkedIn!

Sat. February 28th, 2026 11:00-13:00 JST

In-Person event in Tokyo

This is a FEW members-only event (New members welcome!)

¥5,000 (Payment required at registration)

Limited Space: Maximum 8 participants

Create Your 2026 Vision Board

Vision boarding transforms ideas and intentions into something tangible you can see every day. By combining images, words, and symbols that represent what you want to feel, do, or achieve, you create a visual reminder that focuses your energy and inspires meaningful action.

As the leaves begin to turn and the season invites reflection, we're coming together in a welcoming space to nurture meaningful conversations and genuine connections.

This venue provides the perfect backdrop for us to share stories, exchange insights, and support one another's journeys — at any career or life stage.

Whether you're seeking mentorship, looking to expand your professional circle, or simply craving a bit more community, we invite you to join us for this special afternoon.

See you there!

What to Expect

  • A short, guided introduction to vision boarding and how it supports clarity and focus
  • Time to cut, arrange, and create your personal vision board
  • Gentle reflection prompts to help you access what truly matters
  • A friendly, supportive, no-pressure environment—this is about self-discovery, not artistic skill

Why Vision Boarding Works:

  • Clarifies what really matters and cuts through mental noise
  • Keeps your goals front-of-mind through daily visual reminders
  • Engages your creative, intuitive side—making future planning feel energizing instead of overwhelming

What This Session Is NOT:

  • Not a drawing or craft class
  • Not about making a "perfect" or Instagram-worthy board
  • Not prescriptive—your board is unique to you

What to Bring:

Jennifer will provide magazines, glue, and scissors. If you have any of the following, please bring them along (optional but appreciated):

  • Personal images, quotes, or printouts you'd like to use
  • A cardboard base (the inside of an Amazon box works perfectly!)
  • Your own scissors (helpful with a group)

About Jennifer Shinkai

Bonus! Silent Book Club Sumida 9th Meeting @ Atelier Shinkai

Staying after the vision boarding session? Join the Silent Book Club—a relaxed, introvert-friendly reading gathering where everyone brings their own book, reads quietly together for an hour, and optionally shares what they're reading. No required book, no pressure to socialize—just a peaceful space to read in community. This event requires separate registration from the vision boarding session.

In-Person Event at Impact HUB Tokyo

FREE

Open to FEW Japan Members

A Collaboration Between FAJ, FEW Japan, & Startup Lady

To celebrate Women’s Entrepreneurship Day, FAJ invites members of FAJ, FEW Japan, and Startup Lady to a vibrant evening of connection and inspiration at Impact HUB Tokyo. This unique format goes beyond traditional networking: participants will join small themed tables for guided discussions, ensuring authentic exchanges and avoiding the noise of large mixers. We’ll celebrate the ambition, creativity, and tenacity of women entrepreneurs — a chance to connect, support each other, and imagine new synergies together.

Meet your next client, partner, or collaborator!

To ensure meaningful conversations and a comfortable atmosphere, capacity is limited — we have 10 spots reserved for FEW Japan, so make sure to secure your spot early! Please register by Friday, November 7th.

Event Recap

On November 19th, FEW Japan partnered with FAJ and Start Up Lady to celebrate Women's Entrepreneurs Day at Impact Hub Tokyo. The workshop-style event brought together women from across industries—tech, wellness, creative fields, and new ventures—rotating through discussion tables on topics like health, creativity, work-life balance, and the emotional realities of entrepreneurship. One conversation that sparked particular energy: how AI tools can help women entrepreneurs save time and build more sustainable workflows.

What stood out most was how quickly the room felt like a community rather than a networking event. Participants shared openly about their challenges and lessons learned, finding common ground despite their different paths. Many mentioned feeling welcomed immediately, as if they'd known each other longer than just one afternoon. FEW Japan's Katie Marple facilitated one of the discussion tables, guiding conversations on personal growth and encouraging members to share their experiences.

There's already talk of making this an annual tradition—something women across Japan can look forward to each November. Thanks to everyone who showed up ready to connect, and to our co-hosts for making it happen. Interested in co-creating an event with FEW Japan? We'd love to hear your ideas.

Event Recap: An Afternoon of Embroidery, Conversation, and Community

On November 30th, FEW Japan held a crafting & potluck workshop. We ate, embroidered and shared stories.Around our table were women from different parts of the world, each carrying her own history, journey, and her own reasons for being in Japan. Our conversations flowed into topics of relationships, work, and navigating life in another culture. There was laughter, reflection, honesty, and understanding — exactly what our community is about.In many ways, the embroidery mirrored our conversations: slow and intentional. We were all quite proud of our creations!We also shared a potluck lunch! Eating together while our hands were busy with thread and fabric made the whole experience feel timeless — like something women have always done, across cultures and generations.Thank you to everyone who attended this intentionally small gathering: meaningful events aren’t always the loudest or busiest ones. They are the ones where people leave feeling lighter, more seen, and quietly renewed.This afternoon was a great reminder to all of us that community is built in moments, shared stories, warm meals - and some slow stitching!

Event Recap

A Revival of FEW Japan’s Networking Magic… With A Fresh Autumn Twist!

On October 5th, we hosted our Autumn Networking event at the beautiful TOMOSUBA Community Lounge in Tokyo, marking the first regional gathering of our 2025-2026 "Resilience & Renewal" year. The modern, welcoming space buzzed with energy as nearly 60 women from across Tokyo came together for an afternoon of genuine connection and community building.

A Warm Welcome

We were thrilled to welcome special guests from Women of the World, adding even more diversity to our already vibrant community. Throughout the afternoon, the flexible lounge space transformed into a hub of laughter, meaningful conversations, and new friendships forming in real time.

Autumn Mix & Match: Connection Through Color

The highlight of the afternoon was our interactive "Autumn Mix & Match" speed networking activity – three rounds of structured conversations designed to spark authentic dialogue:

Round 1: Colorful Harvest – Participants found their autumn color match and shared what they were "harvesting" this year (skills, connections, or insights gained) and what they hoped to "plant" before year's end.

Round 2: Autumn Opposites – Finding the opposite color, attendees explored how their professional backgrounds differed from expectations and discovered curiosity about industries they knew nothing about.

Round 3: Birthday Seasons – Matching birthday months, participants reflected on interesting insights from the afternoon and considered what "season" their professional life was experiencing.

This thoughtful structure moved conversations beyond typical small talk, and encouraged attendees to speak with people they have never met before. 

More Time to Connect 

Following the structured activities, the event opened into free networking time. Women continued conversations over refreshments, exchanged contact information, and explored potential collaborations. 

We also took time to introduce the 2025-2026 Board of Directors and share our annual theme of "Resilience & Renewal" – emphasizing authentic connection and collaborative support as we move into this new chapter together.

Huge Thanks All Around

A heartfelt thank you to all our individual and corporate members for investing in our mission. Your support makes events like these possible and helps us continue building a community where English-speaking women in Japan can connect and thrive.

We're grateful to everyone who joined us for this warm autumn gathering. It was wonderful to welcome potential new members into the FEW community, and we look forward to seeing familiar faces and new ones at our upcoming events throughout the year!

Special thanks to TOMOSUBA for sharing their space, and to JUSTICE, 16 TYPE, and Yumm Cupcake Bakery for their generous donations that made this event extra special. 

What’s Next?

The afternoon concluded with exciting announcements about upcoming FEW Japan events, including our next regional networking event in Kyoto in November. We're actively seeking community members to help co-host this Kansai gathering!

You asked for it – we brought FEW Japan’s networking magic back to life, in person!

On June 1st, we hosted a Women’s Networking in Tokyo regional gathering at the Good Heavens! Pub in Shimokitazawa. Throughout the afternoon, the cozy pub was filled with laughter and lively chatter. It was such a joy to welcome new faces and reconnect with familiar ones.

We kicked off the event with a colorful and creative activity. As attendees entered, they were handed three post-it notes to respond to the prompts:

“What I Do,” “What I Need,” and “How I Can Help Others”.

These notes offered an instant glimpse into the diversity of women who were in the room. The networking continued with a Bingo Card Challenge that ran throughout the event. The goal? Talk to as many people as possible and find women who matched the squares on your card. The first 10 to score a bingo won some exciting prizes!

To keep the conversations flowing, we also introduced a ‘Speed Networking’ activity, where each person was given a card with five thought-provoking questions to discuss with someone new. It was a great way to go beyond small talk and build real, meaningful connections. 

And of course, we ended with a prize draw! Attendees who dropped in their business cards got the chance to win a Starbucks Gift Card. Congratulations to our two lucky winners!

It was such a joy to welcome potential new members into the FEW community. We look forward to doing it all again soon!
