Work and Play, Transcending Borders: Introducing Club Activities at ZenGroup!
At ZenGroup, our mission is “Transcending Borders.” Just as we seamlessly connect Japan with the rest of the world through cross-border E-commerce, we cherish “borderless” connections within our office—beyond nationality, language, and department. With over 400 members from 30+ different countries, our diverse teamwork is powered by our Club Activities, where people connect through shared passions. Here is a digest of 5 official clubs that have been especially active lately. Take a look at the ZenGroup lifestyle, where we play just as hard as we work!
⚽ Futsal Club
Not even the cold can stop our energy on the pitch! In 2025, we held exciting friendly matches with FedEx and Robert Walters. These games are a great way to strengthen bonds not just internally, but also with other professionals through the power of sports.
🏕️ Day Camp Club
A unique charm of the Day Camp Club is that family members are welcome to join too! Our annual Lake Biwa Camp is a massive hit every summer. There is nothing like bonding over a great BBQ in the middle of nature. The team is currently busy planning the much-anticipated Spring Camp—where to next?
📖 Book Club
We enjoy weekly discussions and sharing our favorite reads—with a strict “no spoilers” rule! Spending an intellectual moment diving deep into a good book is the ultimate getaway for any book lover. Recently, Hanya Yanagihara’s “A Little Life” has caught everyone’s interest. Since it is rumored to have a deeply heartbreaking ending, some members are saying they want to wait for the feedback of those who have already started before diving in themselves. We are all eagerly waiting to see what our fellow readers have to say!
🐉 RPG Club
In the RPG Club, members are on an epic quest through Tabletop RPGs (TRPG), a genre born in the US! Our diverse ZenGroup team is fully immersed in grand stories that transcend the limits of imagination. It is truly an adventure without borders.
- Dungeons & Dragons: “The Guardians of Inzuma” face off against a city in the sky.
- Call of Cthulhu: A detective team investigates terrifying mysteries in a town overrun by monsters. These creative activities are the perfect test of our team’s unity!
⚽ Foosball Club
Foosball has been a long-time favorite at ZenGroup. This year’s first official tournament recently kicked off, and our underground breakroom has been buzzing with heated matches every day! With the winner’s name to be etched forever on the glorious “Board of Legends,” the energy is at an all-time high. It is the perfect way to decompress during lunch breaks!
Afterword
The time spent bonding over shared interests strengthens our diverse teamwork. Enjoying both work and hobbies to the fullest while transcending borders, this quintessential ZenGroup culture is the driving force that continues to create new value every day.
