🏝️ Everything you need to know to get to Kobe, settle in, and live well for a month.

When

October 2026 — one of the best months to be in Japan. Crisp weather, beautiful fall foliage, and (for the party people) legitimately great Halloween parties.

💡 Exact dates and schedule will be published as summit programming locks in. Subscribe to the community calls to get notified first.

Where: Port Island, Kobe

Port Island is already a Special Economic Zone, home to a bunch of the infrastructure we'll use and just a short train ride from Japan's best cities.

• 🏯 Kyoto: 40 min by train
• 🏙️ Osaka: 40 min by train
• ♨️ Arima Onsen: nearby — some of the oldest onsen in the country
• 🛫 Kansai International Airport (KIX): ~1 hour — the main international gateway
