InterNations - A Place for Chinese in Tokyo

Ni hao to all of our Chinese in Tokyo! Are you interested in getting to know fellow Chinese expats in Tokyo? Are you looking for advice from other Chinese, e.g. which bars in Tokyo will broadcast your favorite team’s upcoming match or where in town to go for Peking duck & hot pot?

You are cordially invited to be part of InterNations Tokyo. Among the members of our international expat network, there is also a vibrant circle of Chinese expats, coming from Beijing, Guangzhou, Shanghai and all regions of China.
