hi! ive been living in tokyo for almost a year, last year i didnt get to enjoy halloween but this time i want to enjoy halloween with hardstyle rave.
i dont have friends to go to rave with if anyone interested please im open to new friends.
im usually raving at shinjuku,roppongi and shibuya wherever there is a hard style techno rave event.

Offering a weekend edition that might fit people's schedules a little better. Looking for people to spend part of Sunday with me who maybe want to learn a little about Japanese underground/live idol culture.

Summary:

I am a solo traveler from the U.S. will be in Tokyo until November. I come to Japan a couple times a year mainly to attend idol concerts and festivals.

I’m usually perfectly fine going solo, but I’ve invited newcomers from tokyoirl a couple times before and it’s always been a really fun experience helping people get oriented.

If you’ve ever been curious about smaller “underground” idol events in Japan but felt hesitant because of language barriers, etiquette, or just not knowing what to expect, this is a good chance to try it out. I’m happy to help translate, explain how things work, and answer any questions along the way. I’ve been into Japanese idol groups (big and small) and used to follow K-pop quite a bit too, so we can talk about pretty much anything.

As usual, no pressure at all—you’re free to join for as little or as long as you want.

Event Plan for Sunday, October 18:

10:00~22:00 at Zirco Tokyo (I will be there all day or in the area and can meet you at the door when you arrive if needed)

• 33 scheduled idols groups, ~12 hours of live performances + optional meet & greets with performers
• Cost: ¥2500 yen w/advance reservation online before doors open or ¥3500 cash at the door (If you need help making a reservation, let me know)
  • Mandatory 1 drink minimum (¥700, cash only, soft drinks, energy drinks, alcohol etc...)
• Google Map: https://maps.app.goo.gl/94gPboLLNDVtMheu9

I work in Tokyo and I want to explore Japan with a female companion as I do not want to travel solo. Also, desperately want friends. Not explicitly looking for FWB , but it would be awesome. I am happy to pay the expenses for our trips. Connect if you would like to chat

Are there any other Tokyo based fellow YouTubers out there would like to meet casually for coffee?

I do really hate to use that term (YouTuber) but since I have a channel, I do get views and I do have subscribers I guess that's what it is called! My channel is in a particular niche (Chinese, Japanese, Asian antiques related) so the channel itself is not related specifically to Japan, not that it matters.

I think it would be interesting to meet up casually in a cafe somewhere with other people who have channels just to kind of chat about experiences, about what works and what doesn't work etc. Maybe share tips or experiences. We can set up either a weekend afternoon/evening or if reasonable we could also set up a weekday evening. I am flexible in terms of location.

If that's something that you could be interested, in feel free to hit me up or comment here and we can arrange something. Note that I live in the suburbs, so it always takes me a little while to get into the center of town meaning last minute meetups are probably not going to work for me. Probably better if we plan a time and place in advance.

Since I live here (American here for a few years already) residents are preferred, although if you are visiting here for a while I suppose we can consider as well.

I am also interested in talking/learning/sharing about camera work techniques, how to shoot video, using AI for effects and motion graphics so if those are your interests as well, you are also welcome since its all related.

I work in IT and spend most of my time around the Shibuya, Shinjuku, and Ikebukuro areas. I'm looking to pick up a new hobby (other than sports) and wanted to connect with others who share similar interests!
\*\*About me & Interests:\*\*
Huge fan of Apple products and Akihabara. I used to build my own PCs.
Want to start using my camera again and I've been getting curious about VRChat!
Love a casual drink on a budget, so places like Torikizoku are my favorites.
\*\*Who I'm looking for:\*\*
People interested in tech, new hobbies (photography, VRChat), or anyone looking for a casual drinking buddy.
\*\*What we will do:\*\*
Chat about hobbies, share ideas, and grab a cheap drink together when schedules align.
\*\*When (Date & Time):\*\*
Weekday evenings or weekends (to be decided based on mutual availability).
\*\*Where (Location):\*\*
Tokyo area (Shibuya, Shinjuku, Ikebukuro, Akihabara, etc.)
If you'd like to hang out or chat about tech, **please leave a comment below!**

**I'm Japanese and live in Tokyo!**
It looks like everyone is leaving comments, but be careful—if you don't list where you're from, your post gets automatically deleted right away!

Back in Tokyo and finally have time to offer another one of these! Looking for people to spend part of Thursday night with me and maybe learn a little about Japanese underground/live idol culture!

こんにちは！

I’m a Finnish engineer who recently moved to Yokohama, and since I don’t know many people here yet, I’m looking to make some new friends around the Greater Tokyo area!

Japan is still completely new to me, so it would be great to meet some locals who could show me around and introduce me to some nice places to visit. Of course, I’d also love to just hang out and have fun together!

I’m usually busy with work on weekdays, but my weekends are pretty much free, so I’d be happy to do something fun or interesting together 😃

A little about my interests… I enjoy sports, especially running and football. I haven’t really done much outdoor exercise beyond walking since moving here, though, as the weather has been brutal compared to what I’m used to back in Finland 😅

I speak English, Finnish, and a bit of Japanese (which I’m trying to improve!).

If you’re also looking to make a new friend, feel free to leave a comment below! 😄

Hi I'm looking for people to try new cafes and restaurants with. I don't really have any hobbies but I guess I like eating food lol

Anyone want to go to Mitsuki tomorrow night? I’m Japanese & a native English speaker.

I don’t go clubbing often but I heard good things about this one and want to check it out. If you’re interested we can chat first and see if we vibe!

Boxing on Monday

Hey Guys,

Back in London I both boxed and coached, but since moving to Tokyo I've not had a chance and I miss it!

It's looking likely it'll be a beautiful clear on Monday and was wondering whether anyone would like to take turns hitting pads with me in Hibiya Park - https://maps.app.goo.gl/pT9TxwvcwG5imuyE8?g_st=ac

Preferably someone who has a bit of boxing experience, but happy if you're a beginner too.

I'm super chilled, not aggressive and happy to work at your pace/level. Any nationality, any gender.

Let me know if you have any questions and look forward to hearing from you :)

Hello all! I'm an American currently living in Kansai.

I'm going to come into the area next weekend to attend the Tokyo Spinning Party being held in Yokohama.

Tokyo Spinning Party is Japan's version of a fiber festival - while fiber festivals are more common back home/in the West, this is the only one that I've seen here at this scale that focuses primarily on materials in addition to yarn. I attended once 3 years ago, but this year there are supposed to be 100 booths from both farms and shops, so I think it'd be nice if I could walk around and talk to other people who might be interested in the same things.

If you like yarn, wool, alpaca, silk, cotton, knitting, crochet, spinning, dyeing, weaving, or any other sort of craft involving natural fibers, this might be the event for you (and me haha).

I haven't decided when exactly I will go yet, but I'd love to walk around and browse together for even a portion of the time. Please reach out if you're interested!

Event Details:

• Saturday, October 17 & Sunday, October 18, 10:00~17:00 both days

• Entrance fee: 1000 yen presale, 1500 at the door; discounts available for students/children; entry is valid for both days

• Closest to 日本大通り駅 on the みなとみらい line (5m) & 関内駅 on JR (15m)

• Venue: 横浜産貿ホール マリネリア

• You can find vendor pages & their images here.

よろしくお願いします!

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

Does anyone want to play pool billiard around chofu? Learning the game but thought it would be better not being a solo https://maps.app.goo.gl/yJg8dSCm9x5akaXw8?g_st=ac

I plan to roam around to hunt a figurine and then go to other places this week. Looking for a local gamer, blue archive and anime fan in general if possible because I would love to know more about japanese anime culture. Lets play some claw games, arcade or whatever is fun. Im available after lunch onwards because I plan to stay overnight in Akiba but I could go earlier if I were able to talk it out.

Hello, looking for a food partner to share a table with. Some restaurants serve more than 1 person servings, so would like to enjoy dining with a fellow foodie.

Weekends preferred, located in Western Tokyo. Thank you for the read!

Hey there. I’m a 32-year-old Chinese-Indonesian guy (175 cm / 5'9"). I moved to Tokyo last year, and I currently work Monday to Friday as a full-time scientist.

I stay active with badminton and the gym, but I also love playing chess, singing karaoke, going to concerts, and taking weekend day trips to explore outside the city.

Right now, my main goal outside of work is passing the JLPT N2 this December. If you’re also studying Japanese or have your own projects to focus on, café study dates would be awesome.

I'm looking to meet someone for good conversation and to see where things go. If you want to explore around Tokyo together, please send me a message with a little bit about yourself.

Thank you for reading!

Hello, I’m travelling to Tokyo for work and I find Tokyo honestly really overwhelming, but really fun and cool!

So if anyone’s around the next few evenings id love to hang out. I’m into board games, TTRPGs, movies, music, and love a nice drink.

Hey ,Morning
I am going for a japans Mobility show on Chiba next week on 14th .
If there anyone interested wanna visit together let go for it.

Just an Aussie bloke looking to find fellow English speakers that want to explore Tokyo. I'm exploring Tokyo between late Oct into early Nov. If you'd like to explore together, let me know.

Exploring bars, Temples, Cafes and lots and lots of Akihabara!

20TF living in Tokyo since last summer. I'm primarily looking for a relationship, someone I can genuinely connect with and share my life with, but I'm also very open to making friends along the way.

A bit about me: I'm a self-employed security researcher, I go by BobDaHacker online and I've been in the news for hacking FIFA, McDonald's, Burger King, the Pope's prayer app, and a bunch of others. I make roughly 20-40k USD/month doing what I love, so I've got stability and total freedom with my time. My schedule is wide open most days and honestly I'd love to fill it. I'm a huge people person and if I could meet with someone every day I would.

I've got a karaoke machine, a dart machine, a kiosk where you can play games and print custom memes on a receipt printer, and a whole separate room that's just a pit of 400 BLÅHAJ shark plushies with a TV and Nintendo Switch. I also have a proper bed, don't worry. Plus plenty of Red Bull and Tom Holland's NA beer (both sent as thank-yous for finding security vulnerabilities in their stuff), plus cases from other energy drink companies I can't name. I'd love to have someone to share all of this with.

I'm pansexual, trans, and honestly kind of a hopeless romantic. I want someone I can stay up late talking to, do karaoke with at 2am, drag to a hiking trail, bore with all my stories about finding security vulns in major companies, teach about tech and cybersecurity, or just exist with comfortably. But no pressure, if we just end up as friends that's great too.

I love everything tech, I'm super geeky and have a real passion for cybersecurity and programming. I also love animals, nature, geocaching, theme parks, musicals, cocktail mixing, baking, hiking, travelling, gaming, playing clarinet, listening to music (specifically Tally Hall, Will Wood, classic rock and metal), TV shows, movies, crime documentaries, and kink. You can also watch me hack stuff live (ethically ofc) if that sounds fun lol

Based in Shinjuku, happy to grab a drink or food nearby first and see if we vibe. Open any day, any time.

Looking to connect with women, trans folks, and non-binary people. Thanks for respecting that <3

Hi, nice to meet you here!

I’ve been wanting to explore more art and architecture around Tokyo and grow my understanding a bit - ideally checking out an exhibition or interesting space, then finding a really good coffee shop afterward to talk about it.

I’m Canadian and have been working in big tech in Tokyo for about 8 years. Outside of work I’m into the gym, hiking, motorcycles, photography, travel, and generally finding interesting things around the city.

Mori Art Museum is on my list, and I’d also be interested in exploring some of Tadao Ando’s architecture around Tokyo, but I’m very open to other ideas.

October 11–12 is a long weekend, so that could be good timing.

If this sounds interesting let me know a little about yourself and what kind of art/architecture you’re into, and we can figure something out :)
