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.

Okinawa

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

Hello! I’m Mino. I love traveling, and my goal is to go on overseas trips twice a year. Someday, I’d love to travel around the world 🌍 I’m currently studying English. Also, I’m Japanese, but there are still so many places in Japan I haven’t visited yet. I’d love to explore more of my own country—places like Kamikōchi, Mt. Tate, the Shikoku Karst, Mt. Fuji, Mt. Aso, the Tohoku region, Tanegashima, and Yoronjima.

Is Japan safe for women?

Tokyo

It felt very safe, especially using the public transport system and the female only trains :). I felt pretty comfortable walking around by myself and checking my phone while walking for directions etc.

It’s a great place but you do feel a little anxious around bars as a solo traveler imo… not in a creepy way, it’s just hard to get to know people and find other girls to hang out with. But it is a great place
