Stand Up Paddling in Japan

Hi, does anybody know of a group for Stand Up Paddling around the Tokyo area. My Japanese is still poor so I need a group that has English speakers. I've checked MeetUp but there isn't anything there. I have emailed Yokohama SUP Club for information. I'm looking for regular paddle buddies to explore the rivers, lakes and seas around Tokyo area and possibly further afield.

The Surfing Tokyo Group on Meet up has SUP as a tag, so maybe you could shout out there to see if anyone has specific SUP meet up information? https://www.meetup.com/Surfing-Tokyo/

I went to Enoshima the other day and saw quite a few stand up paddlers. Not sure if you're the type to hit up random people, but it isn't too far from Tokyo so at least it's a nice place to paddle

Expo 2025 – excited or disinterested?

One of the biggest events for Japan next year is the 2025 Expo Osaka-Kansai. Do you have any interest in the event (planning to attend, etc.) or are you fairly disinterested? Curious to hear your thoughts!

Grocery budget 2024?

How are you managing your grocery budget, for a single or a family? I'm finding my buying power for a single is diminishing, but I'm doing okay, cooking nearly all my meals and dining out infrequently. After going over my receipts, I'm still averaging 30,000 yen a month on groceries. For reference, I'm well outside Tokyo in a Chiba suburb. Have you had to change your grocery budget considering the rising prices?

Japanese YouTube channels for interesting topics?

Are you listening and watching Japanese YouTubers who present interesting and quality content? I'm hooked on world traveler Bappa Shota, who treats global issues with great sensitivity. Although he appears to speak a few different languages, most of his narration is in Japanese. Which Japanese YouTubers do you recommend for interesting and insightful content?

YouTube channels for life in Japan?

Recently ToneToEdo put me on to JapaneseCooking101 on YouTube (https://www.youtube.com/@JapaneseCooking101) where you can find a variety of easy to follow recipe tutorials for a myriad of eats. I was wondering if anyone knew of other useful "life in Japan" style YouTube channels. It doesn't have to be cooking, anything that helps you out with day-to-day stuff here would be great to know about!
