Circuit Tokyo 3: An Invite-Only Social in ShibuyaCircuit Tokyo
Oct 17, 2026 at 7:00pm ~ Oct 17, 2026 at 11:00pm
The international community Circuit gathers again in Tokyo on Saturday, Oct 17 for an evening of drinks, music and conversation at Bar Nanzuka Taken in Shibuya.
Event Overview
Circuit is a referral-based network of driven people from around the world, founded on the idea of members supporting one another’s growth. Led by Kira Shishkin, the group brings together artists, entrepreneurs, builders and other creative minds across a long list of host cities, among them New York, London, Paris, San Francisco, Los Angeles, Chicago, Denver, Boston, Mexico City, Tel Aviv and Kyiv. Tokyo is one of the more recent additions to that roster, and this third local edition keeps the format relaxed: a night out with drinks, a soundtrack and plenty of room for conversation.
The group describes its gatherings as purely social. There’s no exchange of business cards and no deal-making agenda, just peers getting to know one another. Four shared values shape who is invited: a pursuit of excellence, a commitment to authenticity, an open mind and heart, and a genuine wish to see others succeed.
The evening also marks a change at the local level. Circuit Tokyo now has a new leadership team, and this social is a chance to meet the people steering the chapter going forward.

The Plus-One Tradition
A defining habit of Circuit events is how the guest list grows. Each approved attendee is invited to bring one plus-one, ideally someone they believe would add something to the community. That companion needs to register separately through the event page, so it is worth sorting out ahead of time rather than at the door.
Guests should also plan around the dress code. The evening calls for all black chic, so a sleek monochrome look fits the brief.
How to Reserve
Registration runs through Circuit’s Luma page, where three ticket options are available, all free and subject to approval: Guest, Circuit Member (with priority access) and a “Can’t Attend” option for those who would like an invitation to future gatherings. Circuit keeps its events free on purpose, while the approval step lets organizers curate a guest list in line with the community’s values. The event has reached capacity, though a waitlist remains open.
Membership in Circuit itself is by referral only. Metropolis readers are welcome to apply and can list “Metropolis” as their referral.
Note that this gathering is not sponsored, so attendees settle their own bills at the bar.
Why Go
For professionals, creatives and newcomers looking to widen their circle in Tokyo, Circuit Tokyo 3 offers a low-key setting to meet ambitious people from different industries and backgrounds. The invite-only format keeps numbers manageable, the Shibuya location is easy to reach after work or a weekend outing, and the arrival of a new local leadership team makes this a timely moment to get involved with the chapter.
