Seeking Casual Cohort(s) in Japan for September to November 2026

Hello to all reading this!

My name is Jim (though I also go by Jimmy, or James if we’re feeling formal). I’m returning back from US to solo explore Japan for the next 84 days! (Yep, you read that right…)

I’ve mapped out my itinerary across a bunch of different prefectures and cities below. If any of our dates and locations align, I’d love to link up and kick it.

I’m open-minded with activities (*cough* animal cafes anyone? *cough* JK...Sort of, haha), checking out local spots, kicking back at a few bars or lounges, plausibly clubbing but not really my scene. There are cafes, restaurants I also want to check out as well. I’m down to experience the new things I might've missed out on share from my last trip, but you can definitely count me out for wearing a fundoshi! Personally, I prefer a relaxed pace this time around but if the fatigue sets in, I might opt out of things (Sumimasen!). Whether you are visiting from abroad, or a resident of Nihon, let's get together, share the experience and KANPAI to the good times!

P.S. I'm not much of a talker, However I don't mind any sort of jokes or conversations as I'm rarely offended so feel free to be you. Also, my nihongo is elementary and I am still in the process of learning.
