Hey folks,
I’m moving to Kyoto soon to work as an electronics engineer, and I'm really hoping to plug into the local tech and maker scene.
I have a decade of experience in embedded systems, and in my downtime, I'm always working on side projects—everything from PCB design and firmware programming to building custom hardware for next funky thing.
Since I'll be new to the city, I'm trying to map out the local community:
Are there any English-friendly (or bilingual) maker spaces or hackerspaces in Kyoto?
Does anyone know of any regular hardware or embedded tech meetups in the kyoto or osaka region?
Where is the best place to meet other hardware nerds and DIY enthusiasts?
Any pointers to local groups, forums, or even just your favorite electronics supply shops would be amazing. Looking forward to exploring the city
