About BeGood Cafe

BeGood Cafe was first established in January of 1999 with the hosting of a "community cafe" event in Harajuku held to work with participants to examine the possibilities of a better society and lifestyle.

Monthly talk events were held on a variety of themes, including food, agriculture, the environment, poverty, and peace. We were able to develop connections with countless people during the roughly 100 events that were held. Today we are focused on creating something beautiful and better for the world through as many connections as we can, with international conventions and collaborations with companies and government organizations that value the environment, society, and community development.

The Mission of BeGood Cafe

"Sustainable society and peace"
Today we are facing times of significant change. Faced with this change, BeGood Cafe aims to promote a shift towards a sustainable and peaceful society through joint actions with citizens, government, and companies by proposing better ideas that are not limited by existing systems and values.
