Every journey begins with a first step. What lies beyond—nature, culture, and encounters with people—is what makes it a trip.
And as you spend more time with the gear you use during your travels, it becomes uniquely your own.

Every journey begins with a first step

Where are you all headed for Silver Week?

Taking your bike to a town you’ve never seen,
Heading to the mountains in search of crisp air,
Venturing a little further than usual to a foreign land...

There are so many places to go, but setting off for distant lands often takes both time and energy.

But, to borrow words from TORAYA EQUIPMENT, "Every journey begins with a first step."

If you can encounter something new once you step outside, no matter the distance, I believe that is a journey in itself.

We are hosting a TORAYA EQUIPMENT POP UP STORE here at Circles again this year, featuring the gear they continue to create for those very "journeys."

Once again, they are on a tour between Nagoya and Tokyo!
The first half of Silver Week will be in Nagoya, and the second half, they will be traveling to Tokyo ✈️

Don’t miss the Circles Exclusive Oval Pants!

The main highlight this time is a pair of Circles-exclusive models based on TORAYA EQUIPMENT’s popular Oval Pants.

With a relaxed silhouette that is still easy to move in, Oval Pants feel right at home both on the road and in daily life. I’m a big fan of them myself.
They feature large pockets that can hold plenty of essentials. On top of that, they are incredibly easy to move in and have a great silhouette, making them a pair I find myself reaching for time and again.

We have prepared exclusive versions for both Nagoya and Tokyo! Please stay tuned for further details regarding the specifications. I hope you’ll come by, try them on, and experience the silhouette, the fabric, and the comfort for yourself.

Mr. Urakabe from TORAYA EQUIPMENT is scheduled to be at the shop during the event.

What TORAYA EQUIPMENT values most isn't just stocking and selling goods, but the creator himself traveling to different places and delivering the products directly into your hands.

To ensure long-lasting use, they share both the strengths of the gear and the little things to watch out for. Even that face-to-face interaction is part of what makes TORAYA EQUIPMENT feel like a "journey."

I should carve out some time and head off on a trip myself!
Whether you already have travel plans or don't yet,
come find the inspiration for that first step here.
