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. The next session will take place on March 6th. Participants are free to come and go as they please during the session, and participation is free! 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.

For further information, please contact the Fukuoka Foreign Students Support Association by phone at 092-733-5630. Or you may contact them by fax at 092-733-5635.

Anyone who wants to use Japanese they have studied previously, or just talk with a native Japanese person, this is your chance!
