The Grocery Store

ZuCity's main coworking and event venue in the center of Komoro. A renovated storefront with 2 floors. The street level has open floor, high ceilings, mural walls, AV setup, and high power AC. USD $500 per day. Capacity fifty. Conferences. Retreats. Hackathons. Community dinners. Workshops. Residencies. 5-minute walk to all ZuCity homes. 70 minutes from Tokyo on the shinkansen. Mt. Asama on the skyline. Castle ruins, onsens, cafes, restaurants, and parks within a 15 minute walk. For Zuzalu alumni running the next popup city. For d/acc research groups needing a week offline. DeSci collectives publishing together. Longevity labs in retreat. Solarpunk builders running Build Month workshops. Network-state convenings that want to experience Real Japan. Not a hotel ballroom. Not a WeWork. No branded coffee, no AV rental upcharge, no conference-center aesthetic. The quiet mountains of Nagano outside your door. A venue is a container. What it holds is the only measure.

Where the magic happens

ZuCity's beating heart in Komoro — a fully-equipped event home built for conferences, retreats, popups, and the long Sunday lunches in between.

Built for gathering, not just renting

The Grocery Store isn't a hall you book by the hour. It's a community center with a working kitchen, a bar, bedrooms upstairs, projector and sound dialed in, fast wifi, and a team that's run hundreds of events here. Show up with an idea — workshop, residency, retreat, dinner club — and we handle the logistics.
