Expat Women in Japan

We are a friendly community of international women living in Japan who connect and make friends. We welcome expats, students who study abroad, and anyone living far from home.

About me

Please note: I do not host. I am 50+ Tokyo native working for a global media company. I have lived in Australia and Côte d'Ivoire/Ivory Coast over 9 years, started travelling solo 2 years ago. I am kind of new to travel for leisure, and trying to have a hang of it. I am planning another trip to Sweden in June. It will be my first trip to Scandinavia and look forward to it. I love live musics, films, reading, visiting museums and dancing.

About me

Hello! you can call me Lala :D I'm a 19 year old international student studying and living in Beppu. I’ve barely traveled anywhere before coming to Beppu, so I’m hoping to explore more places in Japan while I study here! I’m still learning about a lot of things, so I hope you don’t mind if I don’t know much yet. I mainly use English, and I'm still learning Japanese🙇‍♂️

About me

Hi! I’m an American Expat currently living in Okinawa, Japan. I moved here in Nov 2024 from Italy, where I had been living for the 4 years prior. I live with my partner, Francisco, whom is also an expat that I met in Italy 3 years ago (edit: he moved to Tokyo, but will periodically visit me in Okinawa—you may or may not meet him). Together, we have a passion for traveling and really enjoying the culture of the countries we travel and stay in. I think we have traveled to 35 countries together now (I lost count)! I also live with my two lovely feline lifelines, Luna and Gio. They are quite the adventure cats. What I love most about travel is the perspective it provides and the enamor and awe one can experience through it. I want to do what I can to facilitate that experience for other travelers and find like minded free spirits that are just passing through.

About me

I am English Teacher, working in Kure, Hiroshima. I am also doing my postgrade so sadly no time to travel this year 😭, but I am more than happy to host. What else do people say 🤔...oh I am very friendly, love washing every food container and I am surrounded by dying plants, honestly they are mocking me, My one plant has been in stasis for a year, green as grass, and yet, no new leaf (super power I tell you, it creeps me out a bit)

Is Japan safe for women?

Moriguchi

Moriguchi is a quiet town just north of central Osaka. It's very safe and the people are friendly! Sometimes, my work finishes at a time when it is dark and I walk home. But I'm not scared to walk home at night! That says a lot about a place.
