Event-Space City Hub in Tokyo
The 'World Unite! City Hub' is the located on the ground floor of our World Unite! building in Tokyo. It is a multifunctional space that is used almost around the clock.
Japanese Language Classes
Firstly, our Japanese language classes take place in the City Hub’s rooms on weekdays in the mornings and afternoons. Once a month, our group conversation courses for beginners start. The courses are aimed at participants of our Working Holiday, internship, and volunteering programs in Japan, but can also be booked by anyone solely for language lessons for a duration of 1-8 weeks.
We also run a special "Culinary Japanese" course twice a week in these rooms, which is aimed at participants of our cooking classes and restaurant internships in Japan.
In the late afternoon, our Japanese-English language exchange also takes place in these rooms three times a month, which program participants can attend at no additional cost.
Cultural Workshop Space
On Saturdays and Sundays, we regularly arrange cultural workshops in the City Hub rooms, which can be booked by anyone and which participants of our Working Holiday, internship, volunteering, and language programs can attend either at no additional cost or for a small extra fee. These include, for example, kimono dressing with a photo shoot, calligraphy lessons, or workshops in various disciplines of traditional Japanese crafts.
Lounge Area for Residents of Our Sharehouse
When no language classes, workshops or events are taking place in the City Hub, the rooms are available to all residents of our Shiohama sharehouse. This is usually the case in the evenings and at night. Access is via a smart lock.
As a resident of the sharehouse, you can use the sofas, video projectors, a table football, an electronic dart game, a music keyboard, a large gaming monitor, and a book collection, or simply spend time in the rooms to study, work, or have fun with your housemates.
Event Rental Space
External organizations and individuals can rent one or more rooms of the City Hub by the hour at attractive rates, for example for events or courses.
We are located in a relatively central location within walking distance of Kiba (Tozai Line) and Shiomi (JR Keiyo Line) train stations, Kiba Park, the Museum of Contemporary Art Tokyo - MOT, and the Monzen Nakacho and Toyosu areas. There are three rooms of different sizes, all fully air-conditioned, with smart lighting, video projectors, whiteboards, and tables and chairs for up to 40 people. We also have a small, soundproofed video studio with professional lighting and green screen, white screen, and black screen backgrounds.

Kunden auf Go-Karts durch die Straßen von Tokio zu führen klingt herausfordernd. Gab es eine ordentliche Einführung?
Ja, es gab eine Einarbeitungszeit. Du fängst hinten in der Gruppe wie ein Kunde an und beobachtest einfach, was der andere Tourguide tut. Abhängig davon, wie schnell du die Strecken gelernt hast, darfst du nach ein paar Mal nach vorne gehen, zunächst mit einer kleinen Gruppe von Kunden, und du hast den erfahrenen Tourguide hinten, der dir über Funk-Kopfhörer Tipps gibt, zum Beispiel wenn du mal falsch abbiegst.
Für mich dauerte der gesamte Prozess am Ende etwa einen Monat, bis der Tourguide, der mich ausgebildet hat, im Grunde genommen nur noch wie ein beobachtender Kunde war. Aber ich hatte Glück, dass ich schon einmal in Tokio mitgefahren war und mir die verschiedenen Spots gemerkt hatte, und darum kannte ich schon einige der schwierigeren Stellen von Tokio.
