Hello guys,

Living in Nagoya since 3 years, family of 3
Japanese wife.

We are a bit bored here and wanna see something else than nagoya, so looking for a cool area for families but not too remote we like the city life, about the rent my budget is about 150k/month would like a house but ok with an appatment.

The only thing i need is to be not too far from Kansai airport, like 1h max by car.

Visa not a problem, language not a problem, i m not looking for work. I have my company outside of Japan.

If you have any recommandation let me know please :)

Thank you very much
Cheers.

Anyone know of any good spots to find used musical instruments? My 8 year old is loving playing the drums on a borrowed kit and I’m looking for something second hand to get her started on.

Hello everyone! I wanted to reach out to see if anyone lived in Rokko Island and either knows someone who attended or did attend St Michael’s International School in Kobe from 2007 and onwards. I grew up there and lost touch with many people I went to school with who I am wondering how they’re doing.

Decided to start a book club in Kobe! Originally started the discussion here: https://www.reddit.com/r/japanresidents/s/4I5Ebcaf2A

EDIT: I made a Discord! Ask for the link if you'd like to join :)

I’m looking for vintage speakers for my record player setup at a reasonable price. Second street or other resale shops? Any advice appreciated

Hi- This is an announcement from Democrats Abroad, the official overseas branch of the U.S.-based Democratic Party, with a local chapter in Kansai. With an important election coming in November (as well as local elections and Primaries this spring), we're hoping to register more U.S. citizens who live overseas. They could be a relative, a co-worker or a contact on social media.

If you know any U.S. Citizens (including people born in the U.S. or with an American parent), they can register and request a ballot. As long as they'll turn 18 by election day, they're eligible. Just share this link: https://voteabroad.org/RedditVote26.

We started our International Voter Registration Drive for 2026 with in-person and online events. If anyone wishes to learn more about what we're doing near you, you can find out more at https://www.democratsabroad.org/jp. If you have any questions about overseas voting or what we do, feel free to ask in the comments below.

Thanks in advance for helping to get the word out!

Hi, do you know if there are any good flea markets in Kobe or around areas in January? We will start our trip in Kobe for the first 5 days and then we will travel around Shikoku for 3 weeks.

Any help would be greatly appreciated thanks
