I know one Bombay Goan David D'Souza who was in Japan for a long time in Sacramento. I am also forwarding this e-mail to him. Do give him a call at (916) 446-3399 (Home) or e-mail him at [EMAIL PROTECTED] and I am sure he could be of help to you.
Your next best bet would be to contact the Indian Embassy and counsulates in Japan and ask them for a list of registered Indians and from there you should be able to find Goans. OR when you get to a town or city go to a Catholic church or diocese office and ask if there are any Indian priests or parishioners and from there you will be able to find some Goans.
Do check out our Goan group in Sacramento CA [EMAIL PROTECTED] We are fortunate to have a Goan priest Fr. Januirus Rodrigues amongst us.
Personal regards,

Hello folks, We will be visiting Japan for a month starting March 4, and would like to meet any Goan residents in Kyoto, Hiroshima, Osaka, Nara, Kyushu-Fukuoka, Nagasaki & Kagoshima, Kochi; Hokkaido, Miyagi, Shizuoka, Kanagawa, Tokyo and places that maybe be nearby to these. Cecilia and I will be in Kyoto, Hiroshima and Tokyo for a few days where I will be studying some hanga carving/printing, sketching and the rest will be spent blitzing across on the Japan Rail pass.
Our stays are planned. However, I am particularly keen on meeting people, sharing visual ideas and experiencing a Japanese tempered Goan-ness if one has indeed evolved.
Any response will be much appreciated,
Venantius J Pinto + Cecilia Castelino-Pinto
