I'm thinking of moving to Japan and was wondering if there were many English-speaking churches in Japan.

PM me if you want more info.

You should do some internet searches, they usually pop up if you're lucky. But of course, you should do it using a Japanese search engine. If you can't read Japanese, have someone do it for you.

and yea...they're mostly in the large cities. I'm in the countryside but was lucky to find a church near me, but its about a 20 minute bus ride. Good luck.

Like Gordon said -- PM me for more info... There ARE some, but you have to do a bit of research. If you can provide me with a location, I can probably give you some contact names/numbers from a Japanese church directory I have access to.

BTW, I don't suppose anyone here made it to the Hillsong United concert in Tokyo last weekend? (It ROCKED!)

A couple people at my church went, but I didn't go. I'm glad you had fun!

Jim, where abouts is your church, BTW?

As it is the holiday season, my local-life newsletter included a list of local churches that have services in different languages (English, Spanish, Portuguese, & Tagalog). Most of the churches listed only have a foreign language service once a month, but I would assume that is better than nothing.

So, I guess the point is....there are services, in more languages than I would have thought, you just have to find them. The local international center is a good place to start.
