SewaYou - Japanese Friends

SewaYou shows Japanese people and friends near you on a live world map. Chat with locals in Japan from anywhere — and meet up over coffee when you visit.

Many SewaYou users come for casual language exchange — practicing Japanese with native speakers (nihongo), finding a long-term language partner or penpal, or just a conversation partner for daily English/Japanese practice.
