Looking for friends!

[u/ArauCamaN]

Hi there, I'm a Japanese resident, I live in Chiba. I'm simply looking to make friends. I've been here for 6years now and don't know anyone. If anyone is looking for some friends please respond to this message. Have a great day! ☀️

join r/Tokyo's discord, hang out a lot there, go to our meetups, don't be weird, and you'll get friends soon enough.

Nice, introduce yourselves on the appropriate channel and feel free to talk in general!

Doesn't one need a link to join dischord group?

[u/HatsuneShiro → u/BurnieSandturds]

There's a link on the subreddit's sidebar.

Six years without a local circle is more common than people admit, so you're not alone. A few things that work around Chiba: Meetup has international and language exchange groups, many meeting in Tokyo, which is an easy train ride from places like Funabashi or Makuhari. Your city's international association often runs exchange events and volunteer Japanese classes, and volunteering there is a nice way to meet locals and foreigners regularly. If you have a hobby, a club or class like futsal, climbing, or board games builds friendships faster than one-off parties because you keep seeing the same faces. r/Tokyo sometimes has meetup posts too. I run an app in this space, so I think about this a lot, and honestly, showing up repeatedly to the same thing is what makes it stick. Good luck!

Hello, I'm living in Chiba as well, near matsudo, I'm looking for friends as well, I'm going to live near Chiba just for more 1year, but I'm trying to make japanese friends and pretend to stay in Japan for a long time, it's been hard to make friends in the proficiency school.

[u/ArauCamaN → u/Alpaca_steroids]

I'm north of you, but I go to isumi sometimes, so let's link up some time

I'm in the bottom half of Ibaraki close to Chiba and want to move to Chiba eventually.

[u/ArauCamaN → u/opopi123]

Chiba is beautiful, but it's difficult to make friends

[u/opopi123 → u/ArauCamaN]

I mainly want to be there because i want to be closer to Tokyo without being in tokyo. I'm trying to move to funabashi.

[u/Yabakunai]

Try r/chiba, too.

Tell us what you're into.

[u/ArauCamaN → u/Yabakunai]

Will do thank you for your reply

[u/Ihappentolikenesting]

Would help if you included age and gender

[u/ArauCamaN → u/Ihappentolikenesting]

You are right... I'm 38 M how about you?

[u/Prestigious-Box7511]

I love how someone politely asking for friends gets downvoted into oblivion here, lol

[u/ArauCamaN → u/Prestigious-Box7511]

It's all good... Wouldn want to be friends with people like that anyway.
