How it works

There isn't much to it.

01

Leave your email

Tell us your city so we invite you to the right ones.

02

We send the plan

One short email: date, time, and the exact meeting point.

03

Show up

Say hi, grab a spot on the grass, see how it goes. No commitment either way.

Who comes

Mostly people in the same boat.

People who just moved. People passing through for a week. People who've been here for years and watched their circle quietly shrink. Feeling out of place in a big city is ordinary, and it is much easier with company.

A few simple notes

Keeping it easy and comfortable.

Always in public

Cafés, parks, and public spaces. Never a private home.

Bring a friend

If you'd feel better arriving with someone, please do.

Small groups

Never a one-on-one with a stranger. There's always a group.

Leave whenever

No sign-in, no obligation. Stay ten minutes or all afternoon.

Questions

Straight answers.

Does it cost anything?

No. It's free. You just cover your own food or drink if you want it.

Is this a dating thing?

No. These are group get-togethers for making friends. Nothing else.

Do I need to speak Japanese?

No. They run in a mix of Japanese and English, and both are welcome.

I'm nervous about coming alone.

Most people arrive alone. Someone from Tomo is always there to meet you at the start so you're not standing around looking for the group.

Which cities?

Tokyo first. We'll add more cities as more people sign up, so tell us where you are.
