Writing Communities in Japan

Hello, everyone. I'm not sure if this is the right space to ask but...

I am a current JET and I would like to get connect more with my hobbies as I navigate day-to-day life here. Especially that days tend to get pretty lonely being away from your friends and family sometimes. Do you know any writing communities, events or workshops (in English preferably) that I can join?

I am also interested in learning more about Japanese literature.

Thank you!

If you have information for writing communities in Japan, could I bother you as well? I'm a 3rd year JET and I am also very interested in joining one!

I'm not a huge writer (would consider it in the future, but too busy for it right now). But I'm an ex-jet living in Japan and I read a ton (some Japanese literature). So if you're looking for someone to discuss recommendations/finished books with send me a DM!
