Meeting foreigners/Japanese people is something to aspire to, isn't it?

If you just lead a normal life in Japan, you don't have many opportunities to meet foreigners/Japanese people, but what should you do if you actually want to meet a foreigner/Japanese person?

Meeting people at study abroad destinations and meeting international students who came to Japan were the one-two most common encounters. It seems that there are many opportunities to meet people around schools.

There were also many apps and work-related encounters, but what was particularly interesting was that there were also many encounters between shopkeepers and customers, and between teachers and students in lessons. Surprisingly, if you approach people proactively, there may be many opportunities to meet people in various places.

Here are some such ‘ways to meet foreigners/Japanese’.

Matching Apps
If you want to meet foreigners in Japan, matching apps are one of the ironclad ways.

Because you can meet people from the comfort of your own home, there is nothing particularly difficult about it. Also, foreigners/Japanese who register on matching apps in Japan tend to be more proactive about meeting people, perhaps because they are lonely.

For example, we recommend narrowing down your search to people whose ‘hometown’ is overseas, looking into overseas communities and using popular overseas matching apps.

Bars and clubs
Bars and clubs are also a good place to meet foreigners/Japanese.

Women, in particular, can be picked up if they go to bars frequented by many foreigners/Japanese.

Of course, if the bar is frequented by foreign women, there are also opportunities for men.

This is an easy situation to meet someone because of the momentum of alcohol and the ease of communication while teaching each other the language.

Lessons and shops
There are cases where you can meet foreigners/Japanese people at lessons and shops.

There are also encounters in cafés and other shops in a ‘teacher-student’ or ‘shopkeeper-customer’ relationship.

If you find a foreigner of your choice in a shop, it is recommended that you go there frequently.
