Any tips for a single early 20s girl to do to meet people around here? I only know random japanese and have posted on some friend sites, but not much luck. Too nervous to bar hop alone, and I'm too quiet to make best buds with the sushi place people [true story: everyone talks to you in japanese even if you tell them you can't in Japanese. They nod and continue uninterrupted LOL]
when i use to be in your position entering Tokyo alone, i frequented high tourist areas.

and met up with some other travelers and people who knew a lil more japanese then i did and english.

then from there i just networked a bunch of friends. a year later i had a few places to stay when ever i wanted to visit tokyo.

so just network and dun be shy, for the most part every one in japan is friendly and you'll be surprised how many people are in the same boat as you.

If i didnt leave a few weeks ago i would invite ya to kareoki with me =)

best wishes
