Talk Event and 50 Carefully Selected Items
"Nicetime Mountain Gallery" is an outdoor shop that opened in July 2018 in Hatagaya, Tokyo. It offers a curated selection of products from Japan and abroad that enrich experiences in nature. The shop's website expresses a desire to enrich users' lives by carefully presenting not only the essential functionality and design of outdoor gear, but also the background of their creation, the thoughts of the makers, and the stories behind the designs.
The event, "Bike Trip plus collaborate with groovisions," centers on enjoying the outdoors by bicycle and proposes ways to do so with invited guests. For this inaugural event, Hiromu Ito of "groovisions," an expert in outdoor touring, has been chosen as the guest. Fifty items ideal for camp touring will be carefully selected and exhibited for sale. When camp touring by bicycle, where carrying capacity is limited, gear selection is crucial. The tools chosen through his discerning eye are worth seeing.
Furthermore, during the exhibition period, under the theme "BIKE TRIP SAKA場," a diverse lineup of guests knowledgeable in various fields such as outdoors, bikes, design, and travel will serve as "shopkeepers" to liven up the venue. It will be a rare opportunity to admire the carefully selected items, ask questions about gear, and discuss the charms of the outdoors and bike trips over drinks. Limited-edition items designed by "groovisions" are also planned for sale. Why not consider spending enriching time on an outdoor tour with gear and tools perfect for early spring?
