Make Friends in Tokyo.
One Encounter. Endless Opportunities.
TIFE is Tokyo’s most active international community — connecting expats, locals, and travelers from 69+ countries through unforgettable events, every single week.
Moving to Tokyo Is Exciting.
Making Friends Here Is Hard.
For many expats, travelers, and even locals, one challenge appears quickly: making real friends in a city of 14 million people is surprisingly difficult. Language barriers, busy schedules, and cultural differences create invisible walls.
Tokyo International Friends & Events was created to break those walls. We bring together people from around the world through fun social events, language exchanges, sports activities, and cultural experiences — offline, consistently, and naturally.
