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 20th. 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!

And, Rainbow Plaza, located on the 8th floor of the Tenjin IMS building, also has an announcement regarding free health consultation services for foreign residents of Fukuoka…

Do you know anybody who is worried about their health but they have no idea which hospital to go to, or someone who is worried about going to hospitals because they lack confidence in their Japanese language skills?

Free consultations are held every Wednesday from 5 to 7 PM at Rainbow Plaza. There, a volunteer Japanese medical doctor will try to answer your questions about health problems, medical treatment services and the Japanese medical system. Consultation is available in English or Japanese. Advanced reservations are not needed. Please feel free to share your concerns.

Rainbow Plaza is open from 10 AM until 8 PM.

For further information, or to make reservations, please call Rainbow Plaza at 092-733-2220.
