I would second what Mathew said and add that most cities in Japan have a foreign services desk at their prefecture's (state/city) office and many offer free or low cost Japanese classes to the foreigners in the area. She could volunteer her time there in order to meet more foreigners and work out a language exchange.

Another possibility would be for her to offer her services at a local tourist attraction/museum (if there are any) as a guide which would allow her to interact with foreigners and share a bit about the culture and the history of Japan with them.
