Kamakura Nature & Founder Reset (Community Meetup)
Step away from the noise of the city and spend a day in the calm of Kamakura’s forests, trails, and temple areas.
This is a small-group community meetup (max 12 people) designed to give founders and professionals space to slow down, walk together, share a meal, and have meaningful conversations outside the office.
We’ll move through nature at a relaxed pace, connect organically, and create space for clarity and fresh perspective.
This is not a guided tour — it’s a casual group hike and networking day.
🌱 Who This Is For
This gathering is designed for founders, freelancers, entrepreneurs, and business professionals who need a break from the constant pace of city life and work.
If you’re mentally overloaded or stuck in “always-on” mode, this day offers:
Fresh air
Movement
Real conversation
A change of environment
No hiking or meditation experience is needed.
Spouses and partners are welcome. Join solo or turn it into a shared reset away from Tokyo.
👋🏾 Hosts
Lee Jean – CEO of Pulsar Innovations
Maki Mizuno – CMO of Pulsar Innovations
Lee and Maki are co-founders of Pulsar Innovations, a company on a mission to make Japan the best place in the world to build global startups from.
They will facilitate introductions and light networking conversations during lunch, but this is a relaxed peer gathering — not a structured workshop or tour.
