The Monkey Meeting in Tama, a regular gathering for fans of Honda's "4 Mini" small leisure bikes (like the Monkey), was held with attendance surpassing 500 for the first time. A record 560 bikes turned out, filling the Tama venue with the energy of these small machines.
Just the image of 560 small bikes lined up is already culture in itself. The Monkey is small in size but has infinite room for custom freedom and attachment. Each one shows its owner's own aesthetic, and just looking at them conveys the whole atmosphere. This kind of homemade community is genuinely warm, and I really love it.

There are minibike events overseas too, but Japan's 'yon-mini' culture feels genuinely unique in its own way.
It's a small-bore leisure bike culture unique to Japan, so it probably looks pretty unusual from overseas too.
With this many bikes showing up, venue capacity and parking space must be a real operational challenge.
Setting a new attendance record suggests the organizers have accumulated some real know-how by now.
It's written up as if breaking 500 units is a milestone, so curious how it's trended over past years.
Besides the Monkey, what other models actually count as 'yon-mini'?
Besides the Monkey, that category was supposed to include the Gorilla, Dax, and Chaly too.
This much energy from minibikes alone — just watching this event looks like a blast.
Drawing 560 bikes really reminds you how deeply rooted the Monkey community is.
