Looking for any kind of friend, japanese or not, who likes hiking and nature
 

Hey there! My name is Cristina and I'm a 21 years old girl born in Romania. I'm studying for an year in Japan and I live in Tokyo, Higashikurume. I really want to see more of this country, especially mountains. I adore hiking. But unfortunately, most of my classmates are not interested.

I'm searching for a person who loves nature and would like to travel around. Preferably a girl ( not interested in stupid misconceptions with a boy, I really want just a FRIEND ).


If someone is interested, leave a message here or send an e-mail to darkhriss@yahoo.com.

I rather doubt there are many here who are in Japan. However, if you go here, Japanologic Forums • Portal you will find some girls who are in Japan....

You might want to check out the two following 'international' outdoor clubs in Tokyo:

Outdoor Club Japan (OCJ) アウトドア・クラブ・ジャパン

International Adventure Club Tokyo :: Home ::

A good friend (Japanese) was a member of the latter one several years ago and went on a lot of hikes and other activities including rafting.

If you are currently attending a Japanese college, there definitely ought to be a hiking or mountaineering club. A good way to learn if you are a beginner and a great way to make Japanese friends.

One mountain that you should definitely check out for a daytrip is Takao-san:
