For international residents building a life in Japan
Life in Japan can be exciting, rewarding, and full of new discoveries.
At the same time, living in a different country can bring challenges that are not always easy to talk about. Language barriers, cultural differences, loneliness, homesickness, relationship difficulties, or simply the feeling that there are thoughts and emotions you cannot easily express in everyday life.
Heart Talk was created as a gentle space where people can connect, talk, listen, and simply be yourself.
Whether you would like to share your experiences, hear different perspectives, or simply spend some time with others who understand what life in Japan can feel like, you are warmly welcome.
What is Heart Talk?
Heart Talk is a free online English-speaking gathering for international residents living in Japan.
It is not a counseling session. It is not a lecture, workshop, or formal support group. Rather, it is a relaxed and welcoming space where people can meet, share experiences, exchange thoughts, or simply listen to one another.
There is no expectation to speak.
Listening only is perfectly fine.
Camera-off and voice-only participation are also welcome.
Everyone is free to participate in a way that feels comfortable for them.
Who Is It For?
Heart Talk is open to international residents living in Japan who feel more comfortable communicating in English.
You may be:
□Working in Japan
□Studying in Japan
□Living in Japan with your partner or family
□New to Japan
□Living here long-term
□Looking for connection and community
□Simply curious about meeting others with similar experiences
English does not need to be your first language. Perfect English is not required.
What We Value
To help create a comfortable and welcoming atmosphere, we encourage participants to:
♡Listen without judgment
♡Be open about their feelings and experiences
♡Respect personal boundaries
♡Maintain a spirit of kindness and curiosity
♡Keep what is shared confidential
Why We Started Heart Talk
Heart Talk began from a very simple wish.
We hope people know there is a place like this.
A place where you do not need to explain everything.
A place where you do not need to prove anything.
A place where you do not need to find the perfect words.
Just for a little while, you can simply be yourself.
You are welcome exactly as you are.
Meet the Hosts
Heart Talk is facilitated by counselors from different backgrounds who share a common wish: creating a welcoming space for international residents living in Japan.
