  When I went on holiday to Japan, I got a lot of my travelling information from japan-guide.com. It really helped me plan where I wanted to go. They have good tourist related info for all the different regions of Japan. But I didn't think there was anything to use related to language learning on there?

  You can find pen friends on this site, I think he refers to this.

  I checked that site when I read the post, to see if this might be a new feature they added, but I didn't see anything about pen pals. The main purpose of that site is as a guide providing information about travelling and living in Japan. So I wasn't sure if the correct website address was written.
  
  However, I've finally found the "Japan Penfriends" link, down at the very bottom of the page, under the "Community" heading. ^^

  ohh yeah sorry about that you can also find it if you hover over "forum" and click friends, that gives you two options either friends in japan (dating site) or j@pan penfriend (pen pal site)

  japan-guide has given me helpful advice in the past about tourism and immigration, but I never considered using it to practice writing. I'll give it a try.
  
  Honestly, using Lang-8 for writing practice feels sterile to me. I type what's on my mind, and I receive corrections with not much in the way of feedback.
