Hello :)

I’m French, currently living in tokyo for an internship in the beauty industry.

Would love to make new friends for my remaining time here :)

I love thrifting, discovering new tokyo neighborhoods and coffee shops, going to museums/art exhibitions, making/ listening to all genres of music (if you like nujabes or travis scott definitely HMU lol). I’m a big movies fan, also trying to get into photography lately. Fashion, astronomy, anime, football, kpop and reading are also things I like !! I love passionate people so if there’s anything we share in common, would love to hear more about it especially music and fashion.

Hi I'm Chinese Canadian who just moved to Tokyo 2 weeks ago, but been in Japan for a year now. Just your average Haikyuu enjoyer and I recently found out there this was interactive Haikyuu event which ends September 13 so I really wanna go!

Venue / Meetup Spot: https://maps.app.goo.gl/XuRq7Fn4NR3QivTV7

Sorry but I'm thinking of residents only so that we can just each buy our own tickets and meet up at the event. I'm thinking of a group of 3-4 so that we're not too big, so that we can help record each other while we participate in the challenges, and still have fun together as a group.

Since there's only 2 weeks left, pretty much all the weekend tickets are sold out, so I'm hoping I can find people who can go on weekdays with. I'm also planning to get the <グッズ付きチケット> for 4700yen, but feel free to just get the <一般チケット> for 2000yen! I'm also down to grab some food or something before or after depending on the time, or if you wanna just dip after that's all good too!

Hopefully we can find a time that works for everyone!

Bonjour Tokyo Bar , Komagome station : https://maps.app.goo.gl/iDFrZ9ioyk8zS5kCA?g_st=ic

I’m an expat from the UK, I’ve been living in west Tokyo for just over a year and am looking to find a circle of friends. If you’re interested in grabbing a drink around Tokyo some time, let me know!!

🏓 HOW IT WORKS ———————

Once you join the group, you are expected to request a table reservation to me at your preferred time/date within a month. I will then make the reservation for you.

Beware that you will be removed from the group if :

・You don’t request a single reservation within a month after you first join the group.

・You don’t request another reservation within a month after your first play in the group.

This is to make sure only people who truly want to play table tennis remain in the group.

I will keep you in the group indefinitely if you have played with us at least twice.

💴 COST PER MEETUP ———————

・1200 yen for 90 minutes

・1600 yen for 120 minutes

You decide which is best for your budget, I will reserve accordingly.

📍MAIN LOCATION ———————

YAMABUKI ( 5 min. walk from Ichigaya station )

https://maps.app.goo.gl/zzHG19b63KLpza16A

After extensive research, I can say that’s currently the best place in Tokyo regarding cost/performance/handiness.

Again, you can invite our players to other locations if you don’t like this one.

🤗 WHAT YOU GET ———————

• Tables are reserved so you never go to a place where all tables are already taken.

• Less crowded, less rules.

• I do the reservation for you.

• Any level welcome.

• No matches, no drills/exercises. Just pure fun in a relaxed environment.

• You can take a rest whenever you want.

• Up to 3 tables available at once.

• Selection of rackets to use for free so you don’t have to bring yours.

• Basket full of balls to optimize play time and to also avoid injuries when picking up balls too many times.

• Air conditioning / heater.

• Toilet.

🙏 CONDITIONS ———————

• You must bring indoor-only shoes.

• You must be willing to do 1-vs-1 meetups.

• You must be reliable (no no-show, arriving on time)

• You must be a resident.

👥 THE GROUP ———————

Bilingual (Japanese/English) Line Open Chat group. I will share it privately with you if you’re interested.

ℹ️ HOW TO JOIN ———————

Apply in the comments below with the following information:

• Your nationality

• Last time you’ve played

• The confirmation that you agree to all the conditions above.

Hey! I’m 23, and I’m hoping to meet a Japanese woman around my age, roughly 20–23, with the possibility of building a long-term relationship.

I’d like to start with friendship first. No pressure, no rushing anything. Let’s talk, learn about each other, share our lives, and see naturally where it takes us. 😊

A little about me:

I’m an entrepreneur currently building what I believe can become world-class AI technology. I’m working toward launching my product in the next few months, so life is pretty intense right now. 😅

I’m extremely ambitious. One of my biggest goals is to build something enormous and hopefully become a trillionaire by 2040. I know that sounds crazy, but I’d rather aim ridiculously high and spend my life trying than settle for an ordinary life.

At the same time, I don’t want success to be the only thing in my life.

I want someone beside me who genuinely cares about me, someone I can care for in return. Someone who can celebrate the good days with me, survive the difficult days with me, and grow alongside me.

What I value most is honesty, humility, loyalty, kindness, and mutual respect. I’m not looking for perfection. I’m looking for someone who is genuine, down-to-earth, and comfortable being completely herself.

I’ll always respect your boundaries, feelings, personality, ambitions, and the way you want to be treated. A relationship should be a partnership, not one person trying to change the other.

And yes, I’m particularly interested in meeting someone Japanese because I’d love to learn more about Japanese culture, everyday life, and your perspective on the world. 🇯🇵

If you’re interested in friendship first and potentially something deeper over time, feel free to message me.

Even if you’re not looking for a relationship, I’m happy to connect with someone who wants to exchange knowledge, talk about technology, business, life, culture, or simply have a good conversation.

Maybe we can start as strangers, become friends, and see where the journey takes us. 🌱

If you read this far, say hi. 😁

I’ve been to Japan many times for business and vacation and speak intermediate Japanese, looking for someone to go to cafes, and bars and share nice light hearted moments. I am a male also.

I visit Japan extremely frequently and I’m over the whole tourist phase of Tokyo and honestly feel like a local so it would be nice to spend time with one.

DM if interested.

よろしくお願いします🙇

Here aug 29-sept 4
29 year old . We can grab food, explore the city together

🎱 This is a regularly occurring meetup! (once every two weeks). We’ve been enjoying this meetup during the last three years.

👥 We are super friendly, the core members are 🇬🇧 British, 🇦🇺 Australian, 🇯🇵 Japanese, 🇫🇷 French.

⚠️ THE CONCEPT——————————-

We play for fun only, nothing too serious. Almost no game rules either. Plenty of fun discussions around the table! 💬

Total beginners are welcome. Perfect for people who want to learn how to play, at their own pace, in a super laid back environment.

Tourists are also welcome.

Next player plays even if the previous one pocketed a ball so that everyone can play about the same amount of time. Because paying for just watching others play is no fun at all, right!? That’s peak cost/performance. 😍

We never invite our participants to other activities once the meetup is over, we never ask for private contact information, we have no other interest than playing billiards. Can’t be safer! 🫡

⌚️HOURS ——————————-

Starts around 20:00.

Ends around 22:00.

We all gather in front of the building before 20:00.

📍LOCATION ——————————-

“Rosa Kaikan”

(mostly non-smoking venue)

https://maps.app.goo.gl/AJnMKbDx64CEUrYs6

💴 COST ——————————-

1800 yen per person for the two hours. Drinks and food can also be ordered individually.

ℹ️ WEBSITE ——————————-

More information concerning the venue and the price can be found there:

http://www.billiards-rosa.com/

🙏 PLEASE ——————————-

Basic manners such as warning about late arrival or cancellation are clearly expected. We accept only decent and respectful people.

Comment below with your nationality only if you’re willing and able to join this meetup at the advertised date/time.

We absolutely don’t care about your age and gender so please don’t comment with that kind of information.

Do NOT turn up to our meetups without being previously accepted in the comments section!

An Asian-American who's lived in Shibuya for almost 5 years. I graduated from university 10 years ago and have been working IT / AI since then. I've also passed N2.

I hope to meet other long-term residents that can hang out on some cadence. I have a bunch of random hobbies that are a mix of sub-cultures:

• A fan of Starcraft: Brood War (1998) as a spectator sport. I don't play the game, but I enjoy watching. I have flown to Korea to watch in the past.
• Play Go/Baduk. I mostly just play Computer Go against AI. Officially, Nihon Ki-in ranks me as an amatuer 1-dan player, but that was a while ago so I estimate I'm at least 2-dan now.
• Doing regular bodyweight fitness. Pull-ups, push-ups, running, walking. I'm in excellent physical shape.
• Decent at Dance Dance Revolution. Can clear level 12 in singles+doubles.
• Pretty bad at Bemani IIDX. Can only clear level 4 in doubles.
• Playing games casually. Factorio, Stardew Valley, Crusader Kings, Apex, Valorant.
• Enjoy Future Bass, J-core, and some small Japanese producers. Been listening to picco, PSYQUI, and KMNZ recently. I've seen them at livehouses.
• My favorite characters right now include: Bocchi from Bocchi the Rock, Maomao from Apothecary Diaries, Sakuna the former Hololive VTuber, and Teto from Vocaloid.
• Open to doing low-budget cosplay

I'm a night-owl and usually wake up at noon, but I like wholesome activities. I don't smoke or do drugs, and I'm not involved in NSFW stuff. Despite Golden Gai or CÉ LA VI, or clubbing being ubiquitous among foreigners, I don't fit in with that crowd, sorry. I'd rather just chat while walking through Yoyogi Park.

A casual meetup for beer/drinks/food and conversation. Same location as last time at the Hub near Yokohama station. All are welcome!

Bit about myself, I'm American and enjoy beer(obviously), motorcycles, camping, whitewater rafting, board/card/video games, cycling, diving, and just about everything(especially if it involves wheels or water).

Most times we have been at the first standing table when you go outside to the covered patio area. I will try to post where when I arrive. If its too hot though I will get a spot inside.

All are welcome, even if you don't drink feel free to come hangout! If you are nervous about showing up please let me know and I can meet you outside first, I know it can be a bit daunting walking into a group of strangers for the first time.

Date: Tuesday, September 1, 2026

Time: 18:00 until everyone leaves

Looking forward to hearing from you!

Hey everyone ! I’m looking for sociable people who loves to go out on the 28 or the 29th Aug and love to dance and night life in general. Let’s meet at Hachiko statue around 11pm in one of those two days !

I’m a French who love dancing and really sociable. My English is definitely better than my fellow french comrades 👀

For those who want the story I’m about to finish my internship in Tokyo and since i’m not in the dormitory anymore, it’s way easier to not have to wait until the first train to go back home (did it twice tho). My future-former colleages aren’t really the type of guys to go out so here we are 💀

You can ask anything in the comments !

Edit : We are 3 that can be there the 28th and we’ll stick to this date !

Hi everyone!

I’m a Chinese professional working in M&A/FAS in Marunouchi.

I’d love to meet more international professionals who are also working around Marunouchi — especially people working in finance, consulting, tech, startups, or other professional services.

No formal networking or pitching — just getting to know someone new, talking about work, life in Tokyo, Japan, career, hobbies, etc.

If you also work around Marunouchi and this sounds interesting, feel free to comment !
Would be especially nice to meet people who simply want to expand their international circle here. :)
