Connect, learn, and build together in Japan's cultural heart

A relaxed, conversation-first meetup in central Kyoto.

We grab coffee, grab a table, and talk about whatever people are building or exploring: AI workflows, indie apps, creative coding, career paths in Japan, or day-to-day life in Kyoto. No agenda, no presentations.

It's simple, friendly, and a great way to start the day before work.

A collaborative working session where we ship projects.

Bring an idea, help someone else, or join a team on something that interests you. Projects stay intentionally small and shippable, and everything lives openly in the Kyoto Tech Meetup GitHub organization.

It's creative, practical, and a great way to contribute to the local ecosystem.

Small, high-signal gatherings where people actually talk to each other about what they're building, learning, and struggling with. No stage, no slide decks, no pressure.

Meet a mix of locals and visitors: software engineers, founders, designers, researchers, and remote workers from all over the world. It's a uniquely international, high-signal environment.

Use the meetup to find co-founders, collaborators, study buddies, or just people who care about the same weird tech rabbit holes you do.
