I used to use a website called Lang-8. It’s not really for direct chats, but you write an entry and then natives can come and correct it for grammar and/or natural feel. I was never brave enough to do full on chats with natives, so that’s the best I have ^^;
Japan is a pretty good start
I mean, on the web…
I’m sure there’s lots of Japanese people on the web
There's a website/app called italki that has the specific purpose of allowing you to practice talking with native speakers. It's paid per session, and offers a variety of levels of complexity.
It also depends of your language level. People don't want to talk about the weather if they aren't payed.
Vr chat - for advanced people
Italki - for beginners
You can go to /r/LearnJapanese Discord server.
Vrchat and you don’t even need VR to go in.
