I asked the local bipolar group here in Tokyo but in Japanese. I don't know how they will respond. I told them my situation. I will share the information here once they respond.
I find it sad that there are no mental health support groups here in Tokyo for foreigners. There seem to be groups for other disorders, such as alcoholism, sexual, eating, etc. I wonder how the other foreigners with bipolar, anxiety, depression, etc deal with their illness while they are here.
This site has been very helpful also but it would be nice to meet others like myself in Tokyo just to share information and support each other.
If you are in Tokyo and have a mental disorder, there is a hotline here called TELL- 03-5774-0992 9am to 11pm daily. They also have a website called telljp.com
I hope this helps anybody here in Tokyo or Japan.
Best wishes!
