chilling at houses, not so much, houses are small and ... well people just rarely do it, girls do it more often than guys tough
chilling out during weekdays, incredibly rare
chilling out on short notice, only with very close friends, and even then.. not really that much
chilling out with a 1 month ahead of time plan, yeah that happens BUT be warned, cancellation due to work or not feeling well is quite likely
work takes priority for most people over chilling out
house parties, incredibly rare
chilling out is planned, organized, thought through, and often cancelled lol
I've met a few people who live outside this culture but it's really rare and uncharacteristic of Japanese people

i approve this comment. Though i do have planned, organized meeting with some of japanese people (normally a once in a month type thing tho...)
I dont hang out with people from my university that much because well yeah your statement basically explained it all. I hangout with mostly people from my religous group they usually dont cancel plans and we schedule little activities together.
I go over their house for dinner but it usually just with a 3 to 4 people max.
So yeah i do miss that aspect of western culture...i like spontaneous get together, hanging out.
