2024 Minka (Traditional House) Japan Summit - Talking with the Event Organizers

The 3rd annual Minka Summit will be held once again in Hanase Village (about an hour from Kyoto station). In this preview talk about this year's event, Lauren, Andrea and Stuart join to give insights on the special speakers, minka mall, minka tours, locals and the village, and how the event has changed over the last 3 years.

Key Takeaways

They are expecting the biggest turn-out yet this year at around 500 people and have chosen to go back to Hanase village's location as there are more areas to mingle and interact with one another. Great sponsors and local vendors are involved as well as a local vegetarian and organic food restaurant to cater to the vegetarians who come. So impressed by how well this small team of organizers creates such a fabulous event each year!

Looking forward to seeing you all there!
