It is always hard for adults to find good friends in a foreign culture
because the local people think and act very differently from what you're
used to. Most of the locals already have friends and family who take up
their time. Try to meet Japanese-speaking people in the city where you
live.
Universities that have Asian studies programs are sometimes good places
to meet people. If you can find some Japanese and some American friends,
you will be able to combine what is familiar to you with the best of
your new home. This will help you to adapt and to feel at home in
Florida.
In my city there are two non-profit organizations dedicated to helping
Japanese immigrants to adapt to Canada. I'm sure there are similar
organizations in Florida.
You may find such organizations on the Internet using Google. For
example, if you enter the words "Japanese cultural Miami" in Google, you
will find:

Click on the link above and you will find many references.
If you live in some other city, just enter the name of your city instead
of Miami, and you will find links that apply to your area.
Best of luck,
