# Little Japan – Casual Japan & Philippines Meetup 🇯🇵🇵🇭

Looking for a relaxed place to meet new people, practice languages, and talk about Japan or the Philippines?
Little Japan is a friendly casual-talk community in Manila where Japanese, Filipinos, and international guests gather for free conversation and cultural exchange.
No lectures. No pressure. Just real conversations.
We usually talk about:

• Japan & Philippine culture
• Food & daily life
• Travel & local tips
• Language learning
• Work & study experiences
• Anime, music, hobbies, and random topics

We start with short self-introductions so everyone can join easily, even first-timers.
The first half is mainly in English.
Later, we separate into English and Japanese tables, so beginners and non-Japanese speakers can relax and enjoy the meetup too.
英語が苦手な日本人、日本語が苦手な外国人も気軽に参加できます。

Hi everyone!

This weekend, we’re taking our Japanese beginner session all the way to Batangas for a fun overnight study trip!

We’ll stay at Rustique Rue (around ₱500 per night) and spend two days playing games, swimming in the sea, and practicing beginner-friendly Japanese together. 🏖️🎲✨

This isn’t a grammar-heavy class — it’s all about using Japanese in real situations and training your “muscle memory”! 💪✨

Perfect for beginners and super relaxed.

What we’ll practice:

Simple self-introductions

Ordering at a restaurant

Travel phrases & useful expressions

Basic conversation

—all through fun, easy games!

We’ll also play board games while learning Japanese. Fun + learning = the best combo! 🎲✨
