How to make some friends during my solo trip ?
Hello everyone !
This summer, I am finally going to Japan, which has been my dream for a long time ! I am so excited to be honest 😊. But one thing that make me doubt, it’s that I will be alone during my trip (it’s my first big trip and first solo trip too). Of course I will go to the most famous cities (Tokyo, Osaka, Kyoto, Hiroshima and Fukuoka). And I would like to know if it’s possible to make some Friends during my stay at Japan. Of course this question concerns Kyoto, Osaka, or Fukuoka more Because there are the liveliest cities. By friend, I mean people with I can go out (day or night) for doing activities like karting or game room the night (baseball, basketball…) or even Karaoke. I am a little scared because basically I am a little shy (even if i improved a lot) and I don’t speak Japanese (i mean fluent, just some sentences for introduce myself and asking something) but i speak English not bad.
I am from France by the way and I am M25. Of course, I plan to go out in the evenings to bars or izakayas to try and meet people, but I don't know if it's frowned upon or how to be respectful to approach people 😅. I will stay one week at Tokyo, 6 days at Osaka and 4 days at Fukuoka.
So if it’s possible to make some Friends, I will be happy to have some advices or help if it doesn’t bother you of course ☺️.
Thanks you very much in advance and I can’t wait to visit Japan 😁 !
ありがとうございます !
