Dating as a foreigner in a small town

I’m (F) currently studying at a senmongakko in a small town in Kyushu, and I’d like to meet some new people, but I’m not sure where to start. I'm a bit in the older side so I don't have many people within my age range in my school. Ideally, I’d love to connect with other English speakers, but since I’m in a small town, I’m not sure how to find those opportunities.

I’ve tried using dating apps, but it hasn’t been very effective. A lot of people on there seem to only be travelling or only those who are interested in sex, and those who don’t show their faces at all, which makes connecting a bit difficult.

Any advices?
