What is a good way for a foreigner to meet people and make friends in Japan?

Answer 1

Find a respectable little bar and become a regular there. If you put your time and money into the place, you will eventually get jorenkyuku status and be invited to the joint's hana-mi party etc. etc. It doesn't have to be a expensive place, just the type of place where they have edamame, beer, music and a steady clientle. You don't have to go every night, but try to go on the same night each week at around the same time. Choose a spot that relates to an interest of yours. I've been from everything from a deadhead bar to a rugby football hangout, to a drag racing theme place (there was a funny car in the bar-no joke) in Japan, so there's something for everything.
