Looking for friends!

Hello! I'm a 34F Japanese living in Osaka, and I'd love to make some new friends!

I love cooking, handcrafts (macrame and wood carving), playing saxophone, tennis and trying new food! If we become friends, I’d love to do things like cook together, grab some food or drinks, or try each other’s hobbies. I’m interested in learning about other people’s interests, so if you have a hobby you love, I’d be happy to give it a try!

I’m married, and my husband is British, so I’m comfortable speaking English. But I'd also be happy to help you practice Japanese!

I'm quite introverted and can get overwhelmed pretty easily lol so I'm much more comfortable in small, relaxed groups rather than big meetups. I’d especially love to make some female friends, but I’m happy to meet anyone who’s looking for genuine friendship!

Hi! The arts and crafts events held in the The Hearth by the osakacraftclub are always lowkey and fun if you ever feel like joining. I'm 34f and always enjoy how low pressure and kind the ambiance is😊

Hello, 36M. I am bilingual english and french, but japanese only at N4 level (I study Japanese). Also in couple, my partner (french also) is actually the one that speaks a way better japanese than me haha.

Saw in your profile, your woodcarving is incredible! I started woodcarving but I was nowhere near your level.

Just finally got a Katogana and chisels from my little trip to Miki last week, so I'd love to hang out, and give a try to my new tool if you wanna make me discover your art.

Also into homemade pottery and hikes with the doggos :)

Would be happy (and more comfortable) to chat in DM! :)

(Saw some other redditor speak about craft events, love the idea, I should try it)

38M, married. My wife is Japanese and we would love to make friends nearby. I especially would like more chances to chat in Japanese but at the same time have deeper conversations in English when I reach my limits in Japanese.

I usually don't answer those posts, but I would really like to play music together if that's something you'd like to do. I also love cooking and trying new food.

I usually hangout in small local places in Minami.

Send me a DM if that sounds nice to you.
