Retreat recap · Japan

Tokyo & Nikko 2026

The chapter’s Japan retreat paired Tokyo’s food and car culture with mountain days near Nikko.

The story

The EO Diamond Bridge Chapter gathered in Japan for its 2026 retreat, splitting the days between Tokyo and the mountains around Nikko.

In Tokyo, members started early at Toyosu Market and spent an evening inside Japan’s JDM car culture with a driving experience. In the mountains, the group traded city streets for ski runs.

Between the outings, forums met in person, and members who usually see each other on a screen across several time zones shared the same table.
