XR Tokyo is a self-funded organisation of volunteers united with a common passion for XR technology and it's potential for society, whether it be in next generation entertainment or productivity and training tools that can bring positive impact to our world.

Our History
From 2017 until today, we continue to grow the community
VR Hub Tokyo - First Event
Our very first meetup was focused mainly on Virtual Reality (VR) and also welcomed those interested Augment Reality. The event was hosted and in conjunction with the Impact Hub in Meguro.
We Became XR Nights
It became apparent during the many events that we had run that we needed a name that better captured and welcomed all within this close family of technologies. XR was becoming the go to term here and one we embraced.
XR Nights Returns!
After a long break during the pandemic, it was uncertain if there was still an interest in an international XR meetup. With the help of some new re-boot cofounders we found that within the year the community returned and the interest in XR was as strong as ever.
XR Tokyo - The Rebrand & New Mission
We sensed a really positive shift in the energy of the community and its members since we returned with the event. Realising that being an international community, we could leverage our voice to share with the world the great work happening in XR here in Tokyo and Japan. With this new mission, and a new organisation team we became XR Tokyo.
XR Tokyo - Looking Ahead
As we enter another year, we're launching a new site that will be the platform with which we write about and share events and industry news. We look forward to extending our reach and letting the world know about Japan's XR industry.
