​Welcome to the Japan x Korea x Canada Travel Club! 😃 This isn't just a one-off event group—it’s designed to be a social community in Toronto built around a shared love for Japan, Korea, Canada, and travel.

​What to expect
​Join us for a group outing to Aki no Tabi (秋の旅 / Autumn Journey) at the Japanese Canadian Cultural Centre!
​Inspired by the nostalgic charm of autumn in Japan transitioning into winter, this seasonal event brings together Japanese and Japanese Canadian culture through food, crafts, live music, and community connections. It's a fantastic chance to wander the market, sample delicious foods, chat about upcoming travel plans, and make new local friends.

Who is this for?

​Anyone who loves Japanese/Korean language, culture, and travel.
​​Torontonians who want to make new and awesome friends! 😎🫰
​Japanese and Korean expats, students, or newcomers in Toronto who want to meet locals and build a lasting community.
​Your English does not have to be perfect to attend. This is a safe space to practice languages as well.

Practical Details

Cost: The very small fee collected for this event is to ensure we know exactly which members to expect, and this alsol helps us cover some logistical costs of running the community.
​Food, artisan items, workshops, and activities at the festival have separate fees of their own.

​About Your Host
​Hi! I’m Zeal, a Toronto local with a deep passion for Japanese and Korean cultures and travel. I’ve explored 18+ prefectures across Japan—from quiet rural towns and hidden ryokans to bustling city backstreets—alongside trips through South Korea.

​Outside of organizing this group, I run EnMusubi Journeys, a small Toronto-based travel design studio where I help people curate unhurried, off-the-beaten-path travel blueprints. I started this Meetup group because I love building genuine, lasting connections, sharing real stories over good food/coffee, and bringing together a tight-knit community of locals, travelers, and newcomers from Japan and Korea.
