Not long moved to Kobe and was wondering if there were any hangouts or places with a friendly English speaking community. My Japanese level is still fairly basic and I’ve found it hard to make friends with the locals here. I attended an English corner but it appeared to be a recruitment ploy for a church, which isn’t really my thing. Also exchanged contacts with local people and invited them to hang out with my wife and I but people mostly don’t respond for weeks or make up excuses, so i thought it may be better to try and make friends with other English speakers.
