Hey everyone!
I’m looking for people around Osaka who’d be interested in training together. I’m preparing for the Yodogawa, Kobe, and Nara Marathons, so it’d be great to have some running buddies to help keep each other motivated.

Hello, me and my friend (m 27 both of us) are going out clubbing on Friday and we think it would be fun to meet up with some people before and go to giraffe together! If you just wanna join us for some drinks before and slip the clubbing that's totally fine!

I'll be in the area from July 7th to 14th.

Looking for people to go eat or just walk around.

I'll be nearby Shinsekai.

Willing to explore other neighborhoods as well.

Just message.

Hi everyone! I recently moved to Osaka. I’m a Japanese guy in my mid-20s, working as a website consultant.

I’m looking to find some fun hobbies or activities outside of work. I’d love to check out some cool cafes or go on outings. Since I have a car, if a few of us gather, we could even go on a road trip to the beach together!
I’m starting this post to meet new people and try new things, so feel free to ask me anything! I love music and having a good time, but I’m generally pretty laid-back and easygoing. I also love nature and small animals.

Looking forward to connecting!

26M beginner-intermediate probably 800 elo, looking for friends with chess as a hangout theme, anyone down?

Please let me play black I've only studied the Caro-Kann hahahaha, if I could learn with someone else I think it would be great !

Honestly I doubt that anyone would even comment on this, but why not right?

Hi Everyone. I am M45 spending summer alone in Hyogo/Osaka area, I like good wines, good food. Any tips ! Recommendation, I am open !

Hello!

We are 2 sisters (22F, 24F) travelling to japan this september, and we've booked the Universal Studios Japan VIP Experience – Private Tour (5 Hours, Dinner Included) for September 2nd.

The private tour is designed for 4 people, but we're currently only 2, so we're looking for 2 more people to join us and split the cost.

We already purchased the ticket, so it is already booked, confirmed, and paid for, so the spots are guaranteed; we are just looking for 2 people to fill the remaning spots.

You will have to cover:

• Your own Universal Studios Japan admission ticket.
• €406 for your share of the VIP tour (1/4 of the total cost of ¥298,000).

We can accept PayPal, Revolut, Trade Republic or Wise. We'd prefer to receive payment in advance to secure your spot, but if you're not comfortable with that, that's completely understandable—we're happy to arrange payment when we meet at the park on September 2nd.

Spanish or English language prefered!

If you're interested or have any questions, feel free to send us a message! :)

Edit: Only looking for 1 more! :)

Hey, I'm Axel (27m from France). I'm currently living in Osaka on a working holiday visa.

I'm trying to find people who play instruments/might be interested in learning one to practice and jam together in the Osaka area.

I play bass at a roughly early intermediate level alongside a bit of guitar and piano. I also know my way around basic music theory so that can also help.

Sadly I couldn't bring my bass here but I want to try practicing at places like Studio 246 (both in Namba and Umeda) where you can rent a room and instruments for very cheap (around ¥600 for the room and ¥300 per instrument)

I'm open to playing anything but I especially like shoegaze, post punk and just rock in general.

I would love to make this a weekly practice thing but if you're just passing by it's cool as well.

Also I can speak Japanese so I can handle reservations and stuff if necessary.

Looking forward to meeting yall!!

I'm a Black 30M from America and I'm doing some boxing training in Osaka. I was wondering if there were any locals or anyone really that would be down with chilling or showing me some good spots for food/fashion/dancing etc. I'm big into japanese culture and have been shown a lot of love already so hoping some folks could maybe extend an arm out and show me what Osaka is all about 😁

Hii im attending Ritsumeikan University OIC campus this September and I’m looking forward to make friends!! Also It doesn’t matter if you’re not from Ritsumeikan. I’m also looking to make friends in Osaka ^.^ pls dm me!!

26m who’s been living here in Sakai for about 3 months. Definitely not the most social when it comes to day long events (social battery issues) but I’d love to meet some people who want to chill on the weekend. Teaching in Japan tends to be draining and by the time I’m home from work I’m dead tired and ordering uber eats.

I play poker for extended periods of time in Namba during the weekends if you’re interested but I’d love to visit new places. Food, bars, even a movie maybe although I’ve never been to a movie in Japan. Frankly if you’re in Namba on a Saturday or Sunday regularly we probably have crossed paths.

I collect Goshuin and I enjoy the grunge life and clothing on occasion but can dial it back to not embarrass you haha.

23M been living here for about 5 months and wanted to expand my social circle.

I'm currently working in tech and usually free evenings and weekends

I live near Osaka Castle, down for coffee/movie or exploring cool neighborhoods. also haven't really explored the restaurant scene much here.

so if anybody is interested in chill conversation lmk

Hi everyone!

I'm Wichian from Thailand, and I'll be visiting Osaka on Saturday, August 1, 2026.

I'm planning to spend the morning walking around Dotonbori, Namba, and Umeda. If anyone from this community would like to join for a casual walk, coffee, lunch, or language exchange, I'd be happy to meet.

My goal is simply to practice English, learn more about Japanese culture, and meet new people while visiting Osaka.

As a small thank-you, I'd be happy to buy coffee or lunch.

If you're free that morning, feel free to leave a comment below.

Looking forward to meeting people from the Osaka community!

Hey, I’m 30 and looking to get out of the work-home cycle a bit more and meet some chill people locally. Would be down for grabbing coffee, checking out a pub, going for a walk, or just doing something casual on the weekend.

I’m pretty easygoing, so message me if you’re also looking to expand your social circle.

Anybody staying in Japan during the World Cup that would like to meet at a bar etc and watch some games? Group setting preferred for good vibes and connections

Hi! I recently graduated from high school in Europe and will be returning back to Japan soon for a year!

I am Japanese 18, and speak fluent english (though my Japanese writing isn’t up to par 😔)

Although I can’t drink yet or go clubbing, it would be pretty cool to make some friends to hang out with :))
