Osaka - Post Report Question and Answers
Is it easy to make friends with locals here? Are there any prejudices or any ethnic groups who might feel uncomfortable here?
It is challenging: language, established friend groups, rising anti-foreigner sentiment, and people work long hours. - May 2026
No, in my opinion the Japanese are not especially easy to get to know. They don't invite you over for dinner or parties, but they are always polite. - May 2021
