UX BBQ in Shonan

Tokyo UX Meetup is hosting a casual outdoor BBQ by the water in the Shonan area, giving UX designers, researchers, product people, and anyone curious about the field a relaxed way to meet over the summer. It's a social gathering rather than a talk-driven event, meant for chatting about design, research, and product work while enjoying the evening. The event is free to attend, though guests cover their own BBQ meal, estimated around 5,000 yen. The venue is still being finalized (likely a beach house in the Shonan area) and will depend on the final headcount, so interested attendees are asked to join the group's LINE for updates. Vegan and vegetarian options could not be secured, though the organizers are trying to include seafood on the menu. The meetup is explicitly not a language exchange event: it's aimed at people working in or exploring UX, research, and product roles. It's hosted by Nanami and Jamie, both UX researchers, and takes place on Saturday, August 1 from 4pm to 6pm.
