What type of social life can someone expect in Tokyo?
When we asked expats and global nomads about their social experiences in Tokyo, they replied...
"It's hard to make friends as the expat community is spread throughout the whole country, so there isn't very many people to meet. Even harder to make Japanese friends," explained one expat living in Tokyo, Japan.
"Expats, retirees, and digital nomads living in Tokyo, typically have a diverse and vibrant social life. They often connect with fellow expats and locals through various social events, language exchange meetups, and networking groups. Many also participate in cultural activities, such as attending festivals, exploring local cuisine, and learning traditional arts. Additionally, they may join sports clubs, volunteer organizations, or take classes to meet new people and immerse themselves in the local community. Tokyo's bustling nightlife also offers numerous opportunities for socializing, with a wide range of bars, clubs, and entertainment venues catering to different interests and tastes. Overall, the social life of expats, retirees, and digital nomads in Tokyo is often rich and fulfilling, with ample opportunities to make friends and experience the unique culture of Japan," said another in Tokyo, Japan.
