And, Rainbow Plaza has one more announcement…

Every first and third Thursday of the month, there is a “Japanese Chat Salon” being held in the Fukuoka International Association large conference room on the 5th floor of the Fukuoka City Hall’s North Annex. It’s a place where foreigners studying Japanese in Fukuoka and local Japanese volunteers can get together in a relaxed atmosphere and talk.

Sessions start at 1:30 PM and run through 5 PM.
Participants are free to come and go as they please during the session, and participation is free! Anyone who wants to use Japanese they have studied previously, or just talk with a native Japanese person, this is your chance!

Reservations are not necessary, however if you plan to attend in a group of 5 or more people please contact the Salon prior to your arrival.

The next session is scheduled for July 18th.
