About us
ððð Hi there! Weâre Ami & Rika ððð
We are two friendly internationals living in Osaka who love bringing people together. Weâre passionate about creating a fun and inclusive space where people can relax, connect, and share great experiences. Weâre naturally social and genuinely enjoy helping others meet and form real friendships.
ð¯ ð¯ð¯ Our Goal ð¯ð¯ð¯
Weâve gained so much from Meetups over the years:
- Meaningful friendships ð
- Cross-cultural connections ð
- Unforgettable memories ð€©
And now we want to give back by creating a community where others can experience the same. But weâre doing things a little DIFFERENTLY! Our vision is a Meetup group built on unmatched playfulness and authentic connection.
We want to help spread plenty of:
- Laughter and curiosity through our 100+ creative games designed to spark joyful interactions and genuine conversations. ð
- Opportunities for people to socialise and exchange languages without pressure.
ððð Types of Events ððð
We offer a wide range of casual and relaxed events (in Japanese and English) that make it easy to meet new people.
- Language Exchanges (Japanese and English) ð¬
- Picnics âïž
- Board Games ð²
- Scenic Hikes ðïž
- Sightseeing Day Trips â©ïž
- Parties ð¥³
ð«ð«ð« Rules ð«ð«ð«
For the safety and comfort of all participants, the following rules will be enforced:
- No solicitation for businesses, other events, religious or political groups.
- No disrespectful, inappropriate, or offensive behaviour.
- No attendance by individuals under the age of 18 years.
Come join us and be part of something fun, friendly, and a little bit DIFFERENT. We canât wait to meet you! ð
