When people come to Japan from abroad, I often hear from them about the stress caused by the language barrier, as well as the difficulties of not knowing who to turn to when they are troubled. In those situations, you can come to Idobata.
Idobata is a place where you can talk freely with friends and have your worries listened to.
There is no need to worry if you cannot speak Japanese. Communication happens when we make an effort to understand each other. I believe that that effort is also useful for learning Japanese.

There are people of various occupations there who will listen to my worries about the future, which makes it a relaxing place for me!
It's also fun to hear about the charms of other countries from foreigners.（Birthplace: Japan）

You can talk with people from other countries and learn things about each country that you wouldn't learn at work or school.
It's a very comfortable place for me!

Even if you are late, you can leave partway through, so it's an environment that is easy for foreigners to enter.
The members also speak in easy-to-understand Japanese, which is very helpful!
I look forward to it every Wednesday!
