How can Chinese people make friends with Japanese?
That is a strange question. Most Japanese already do have Chinese friends, so the question is probably “How do I make Japanese friends” and that would entirely be up to you. Without knowing what kind of person you are, personality, hobbies and likes it would be hard to make assumption.There are some things that might help to become friends with Japanese such as learning the language and culture as well as traditionally Japanese things like anime, manga games and J-POP, but that would depend on age and many people don’t have any interest in the above in the first place.Actually I think it would be much easier to figure out how not to make friends which is going to be common in any culture.

Why is it so difficult to make friends with Japanese people?
I have worked with Japanese people and have serviced their tours. They are very shy and communal with an insular society. One of the most misunderstood aspects about their culture is how on the surface it seems to have adapted to Western culture but underneath they are still very traditional. We are talking about a civilization isolated from foreign influence for almost five thousand years. Their language is beautiful and completely different. They have also been subjected to some of the worst forms of racism. They are very nice and polite once you get to know them but they have tight bonds with each other, so you must give them time.
Friendless in Japan? Any ideas on how to make friends with a language barrier?
I recently moved to Japan as an engineer specialist for a extremely great job opportunity. I been in Japan now for a little longer than a month now and have yet to actually make a single friend outside of coworkers. I am outgoing, intelligent, fun to be around, attractive, and successful - but none of these seem to help in a world that I cannot understand or speak their language. I am studying Japanese every day, and on the positive side, I have managed to make a few aquaintences, but other than that nothing. Unfortunately, all of my coworkers are much older than me and have lives of their own, so we have little to nothing in common. It seems like these should be the best years of my life and I find myself wandering aimlessly down the crowded streets of Japan in a foreign world without a single buddy to go out and chase girls, or friends to go see the newest movie, etc... So any advice would be appreciated!
