you can writing Japanese is ok :slight_smile:

I travel to Tokyo few days,
I have a postcard with the 7/21 Letter Writing Day (ふみの日) Stamp,
maybe hold a mini meetup (2-3 people) ?
I do not use PC logo, so you can use it free ^^"

7/21
I will go to use special postmark in 京橋郵便局5F

if you want to join it, please DM me or leave a comment in advance.
Thank you !!!

Hello.
That is a cute postcard that matches the stamp design perfectly!
Is the postcard handmade by you?
Is it home printed?
If I could meet you, would you be willing to give me some of those postcards?

And I think the postmark on the 21st is from Tokyo Chuo Post Office.
Probably not the Kyobashi post office.

Tokyo Chuo Post Office is here.

横から失礼します。
東京中央郵便局の初日印は、京橋郵便局内に押印会場が開設されます。ですので機械押印をしたい場合は、京橋郵便局に行く必要があります。時間は9:00〜15:00です。
東京中央郵便局の窓口でも、手押しは対応してもらえます :raised_hands:

わぁ! :scream:
そうなんですね!!
教えてくださってありがとうございます!!
私の方が間違っていたわ。
嘘を教えてしまうところでした💦

Hi!I am glad that you are coming to Japan, I would like to meet you on the 21st, can we meet?
I would like to attend your meetup.
I am not good at English.
Please let us know your detailed meeting plan and what you will bring on the day of the meeting.
Where will the meeting be held?
It is difficult to have a meeting under the rules inside theStamp venue.
It is not suitable (as well as the rules of the Philatelic Museum make it difficult to have a meet-up on the 23rd inside the museum.
I think we will be warned if we have a meeting there. The meeting room is for the sectional meetings and non-members cannot rent it).
I think it would be preferable to gather at each location and hold a meetup at a cafe.
What do you think?

Hi, thank you all ask :slight_smile:

I reply together :

(1)
my card from Taiwan illustrator :胖肚子

I invited her to help me draw,
Printed in a printing store. ^^

(2)
I visit Kyobashi post office 2 times for First day postmark,
because this one from 押印機, only in here. ^^

(3)
I find a coffee shop near Kyobashi post,
maybe meeting in here ?
星乃珈琲店 築地店

(4)
I’m not familiar with the Postal Museum,
if someone can find a place for meeting,
I can go here
=> I will go at the ticket gate of JR Mejiro station on 13:00

because postmark time is this:
~郵便局特設窓口~
切手の博物館 エントランス
(〒171-0031 東京都豊島区目白1-4-23)
開設時間
10:30~13:00、14:00~17:00

PS.
If you want to join meetup,
plz tell me how many cards do you want ?
One piece is 80円, ( including the cost of invitation and printing)
I need to print soon, I will use different paper. ^^"

Thank you vikamiya for your reply and understanding.
ok, let’s do it here! (3) On the 21st, we will start at Hoshino Coffee and meet at 10:00 Japan time?
Please let me join.
10 cards please.
Let us know if there is anything else we need to prepare.
If you are ok to join, please add me to the list. Looking forward to it :blush:.

As @yurakana san says, if it’s held at the cafe from 10:00, I’d like to join too :raising_hand_woman:
May I have 10 postcards, please?
But I don’t have confidence in speaking English. Let’s do our best together :rofl:

Thank you for confirming the plan! I’m looking forward to seeing you all :smiling_face:

My opinion✍️

  1. Before I go to the cafe, I plan to buy new stamps at the nearby post office.
    私はカフェに行く前に、先にどこかの郵便局でふみの日の切手を買おうと思っています。

  2. Since this is a great opportunity, it would be great if we could sign a few cards together.
    I’m going to print and distribute the postcrossing logo sticker.
    せっかくなので、何枚かのカードにサインし合えたら嬉しいです。よければポスクロのロゴ(+登録商標の文言)のステッカーを印刷してお配りします。

  3. Just in case, I’ll leave one address available. Shall we decide based on remaining time and space?
    念のため、オフィシャルの枠を一つ空けておきますね。時間やスペースの有無によって決めましょうか :thinking:

I will make a group private message for the participating members on the 21st.
Because it’s more convenient to have a dedicated message!
I will answer any questions about your notes here.
First of all, I will send you a pm.
Please reply there once.
I will invite two people if I can confirm.
Let’s hear there :blush:

Hello
no problem :smiling_face_with_three_hearts:
But my postcards have already been printed,
If you want to increase the number of postcards?
I have to count it after I receive it"

I have made a meetup sticker with LOGO
If I receive it smoothly, I will bring it for everyone to use freely :kissing_heart:

Yen小姐,妳好!我是住在千葉縣的日本人叫Sami。我剛剛看到這個活動。可以的話,我要參加。
可是已經人數太多了,是不是?我很久以前住在台北半工半讀的過日子。
如果下午有空的話,也可以。

您好,還可以參加,但我下午有約,
如果您早上10點方便,可以一起在咖啡廳集合?
請問您需要留多少張片呢?

太好了🥹 那我也要參加。
可以的話,我也要十張明信片。
這是我第一次參加的Meet Up,很高興跟台灣的postcrosser見面。明年,我也要去台灣跟postcrossers交流。

参加される皆様、中国語で失礼しました。さみと申します。
ご本人に『参加したいのですが、人数が全部で5名となるので無理でしょうか』と聞いたところ、快諾頂きました。金曜日に10時にご一緒させて下さいませ。
Meetup初参加なもので勝手がわからず、ご迷惑をおかけするかもしれませんがどうぞよろしくお願いします。台北で仕事をしていた事があるので多少中国語でコミュニケーションはとれると思います。

Thank you to all Japanese participants
this is my first Japan meetup. :smiling_face_with_three_hearts:
