(Of course, I was a foreigner too, but since I lived there, traded English for Japanese lessons with them, went to their club parties and get-togethers, etc, I was sort of an honorary member of the club). They and their friends and families became some of my best friends in Japan.
I also became good friends with several of the teachers I worked with. Many of the teachers just kept things on a professional level, as you said, but some of them seemed to really take a liking to me, and we'd hang out, play tennis together, go out for dinners, sightseeing on the weekends, etc.
