Do you know of any support groups in Japan?

Question

I was wondering if anyone had any information about support groups that meet in Japan, such as AA or OA. I looked at one website, but it was kind of limited.

Answer 1

There are a few....but your right, very limited and sometimes not exactly professional.

If you were in Osaka or Kyoto you could check Kansai Time Out magazine which has an AA group listing but most of the support groups here are for things like "stressed out new foreign residents" or "foreign women married to japanese men with kids" kind of things.
