Looking for more than sightseeing in Osaka?
One of the best parts of traveling is meeting new people.
At MITSUWAYA, we regularly host community events where our guests can connect with local Japanese people and travelers from around the world.
This time, we’re excited to collaborate with ito, a wellness community in Osaka, for a special Takoyaki Party.
Before the party, guests are also welcome to join ito’s community running event, making it the perfect afternoon and evening of exercise, food, and cultural exchange.
Whether you join both events or just the Takoyaki Party, we’d love to have you!

Why We Created This Event
TESEN share houses are home to people from all over the world, with around 70% of our residents coming from overseas.
Meanwhile, many members of the ito community are Japanese locals who enjoy wellness activities and are interested in meeting people from different cultures.
By bringing these communities together, we hope to create a relaxed space where conversations happen naturally and meaningful friendships begin.
More Than Just a Takoyaki Party
Takoyaki is one of Osaka’s most famous local foods.
But this event isn’t just about eating.
It’s about cooking together, sharing stories, laughing, and connecting with people you might never have met otherwise.
Whether you’re traveling solo, studying in Japan, or living in Osaka, everyone is welcome.
You don’t need perfect Japanese or English.
Just bring your curiosity and an appetite!
Start with a Run, End with Takoyaki
Before the Takoyaki Party, ito will host a community running event around Osaka.
It’s a great opportunity to explore the neighborhood, meet new people, and break the ice before dinner.
Prefer to skip the run?
No problem!
You’re welcome to join us directly for the Takoyaki Party at 6:00 PM.
