24-hour access to all ZuCity Japan facilities - coworking, lounges, parties, dinners, and workshops. Explore community coliving, bleeding-edge biohacking, and traditional rural lifestyle experiences.
ZuCity Popup is hosted in ZuCity — our own neighborhood (codename Brooklyn 2.0) made from buying abandoned houses in Komoro, Nagano and turned into community-owned coliving infrastructure. Unlike traditional popup cities that rent hotels and vanish, everything built here stays. The venues, the equipment, the relationships — they compound year over year.
This month-long popup city is for builders, artists, scientists, and free spirits in the mountains of rural Japan. Not a conference or temporary society, its one more step towawrds a self-soverign future. You live together, eat together, build together, and figure things out together. Four themed weeks covering self-sovereignty, DeSci, longevity, geoploitics, and community governance.
