Expat in Kyoto – Love to make new expats friends

Hi Kyoto family!
I’ve been living in Kyoto for a few years now and have met some amazing people along the way. Many of them stayed only for a short time, but I’m grateful for those connections.

Now that I’m in my 30s and not really into the nightlife scene, it’s been a bit challenging to meet new friends. I’ve thought about organizing events or starting a community, but the planning can feel overwhelming, and sometimes it takes away the joy of it all (trust me, I’ve done it a lot before!).

So, I figured I’d make a post and see where it leads. I’m just looking for genuine connections and platonic friendships—no pressure, just good vibes.

Hope to meet some awesome people again!

  1. I’ve tried posting here something like this around 2-3 times and it just didn’t work 😅

    Let’s grab a 生ビール〜

  2. Would help if you could elaborate which general area of Kyoto, and what your interests are 🙂

  3. Hi! If you’re a reader I’m helping to organize a Kyoto book club & if not I’m always down for trying new cafes 🙂

  4. Would love to actually make some expat friends as well – though I don’t know if we’d actually vibe lmao
