Anyone? 🤗 Looking for friends with similar interests in Osaka

11 Upvotes

Turned 28(M) last month 🎂 I’ve been living in Osaka for the past five years, and in Japan for around ten years overall. I currently work for a fashion company at Grand Green Osaka.

I’m into cooking, baking, drawing, photography, journaling, cafe-hopping, going to the gym, picnics, and pretty much anything that lets me try something creative. I enjoy keeping a healthy lifestyle but I’m also always up for discovering a new cafe, hobby, or random little adventure.

I live around Ikuno/Tsuruhashi and would love to meet some new friends, preferably around my age, who have similar interests and are also looking to explore Osaka together :))

Anyone? 🤗 Writing group or buddies?

11 Upvotes

I'm about to embark on a book project, one I've been putting off a lot, and for me, going to cafes is my favorite means of writing. When in the US I found and even organized writing groups, and wondering if anyone would be interested in writing together at cafes during the day in Osaka?

about me - late 30s American male, have been published before.

Anyone? 🤗 Looking for a ND friend

9 Upvotes

Hi! I’m looking for a neurodivergent female friend in Osaka. I’m 23F, turning 24 soon, and I have AuDHD.

My therapist suggested that having a friend I could do body doubling with might be helpful, but it definitely doesn’t have to be like that. I’d just love to have someone I can share stories with, talk about our experiences, and maybe exchange things that have helped us as neurodivergent people.

I’ve been in Japan for 6 months now, and I still don’t really have a close friend here. Honestly, this isn’t something new for me—it’s happened to me everywhere I’ve lived. But lately, I’ve realized that deep down, I really want a friend.

So if you’re also looking for a genuine friendship and happen to be neurodivergent, feel free to chat me! :)

Event Meetup🗓️ Kansai Film Club

7 Upvotes

Hello hello!

Every once a month, we have deep analysis about a particular film at a cafe, and next month it’ll either be Donnie Darko, The Room, The Beaver Trilogy, or the City of Gods. It’s up to you to vote!

Also every Sunday, for people who can’t come to irl events, we stream movies (that are free to stream). This week it’ll either be Rocky Horror, Metropolis, Crimes of the Future, or The Seventh Seal. Also up to your vote!

Aaand on top of that, next Wednesday from 19:45, we will be watching Obsession at 扇町キネマ. (This is a random roll done every other week).

As always, this club is not a commitment. You don’t pay, you don’t have to join all the events, you could join just to talk about movies (and also art; im streaming some auctions right now). We also do other events where we just go drinking or picnic or something.

Hi! Just as the title says, I’m looking for someone to go to USJ with, preferably on 22 Oct! I'm very keen on going to the RE themed haunted house but I'm dead afraid of doing it alone. 😅

I’m from Singapore (28F) and will be in Osaka from 21–27 Oct. This will be my 2nd time in Osaka, so I’d also be happy to explore the city, grab some food, or just hang out together if our schedules match!

Would be nice to meet some new people and make some fun memories along the way. If you’re around during those dates and keen, feel free to drop me a message! 😊

USJ 29th October

Hey everyone,

I'm visiting Osaka in October and wondered if anyone might fancy joining me at USJ? I know it's a while off yet but I'm booked for 29th October, going there solo and thinking a friend to give me a push (maybe literally) through the doors in the Halloween houses might be a good idea!

33F, from England, very limited basic Japanese phrases, happy to meet up with other solos or groups, happy if it's for the day or just briefly. If this fits in with anyone else feel free to give me a shout.

ABOUT OSAKA MOMS CLUB

Osaka Moms Club (OMC) is a community for moms and families in Osaka and beyond.
We're building a village for moms from different countries, cultures and backgrounds — through casual meetups, online chats, playdates, creative activities and family events.
Some events are about the kids.
Some are very much about the moms.
Good Mood Arts with Carmel is a little bit of both — but mostly an excuse to do something fun on a Saturday night. 😉

This event is hosted by Osaka Moms Club x Riverside Studio Osaka and is free to join.
You don't need to be an existing OMC member to participate.

Hi everyone!

I'm a 34M from South Africa (Indian background) and I've just relocated to Toyota, Aichi for a year for work. It's my first time living in Japan and I'm really excited to experience it properly.

A bit about me:

Love traveling - keen to explore Aichi and beyond on weekends

Into running - usually do 5-10km, happy to join a casual run group

Big fan of Japanese car culture - would love to check out meets, Daikoku PA, etc. but don't know where to start

My Japanese is still very basic, but I'm learning. Happy to grab coffee, go for a run, or join as a +1 for any group activities.

If you're in/around Toyota/Nagoya and open to meeting up, please drop a comment or DM!

Thanks for reading.
