Find someone you can drink with, right now. One of Japan's largest drinking meetup apps. JOIN US is a drinking meetup matching app for people who want to grab a drink with someone right now. For 10 years since our 2015 launch, we've been the one and only app dedicated to making drinking buddies — delivering countless toasts along the way. This isn't an app for finding a romantic partner. Still, many people have met irreplaceable partners and lifelong friends through drinks on JOIN US. Start casually, with just one drink. /////////////////////////////// What Makes JOIN US Different /////////////////////////////// ■ AI Suggests Your Drinking Partner As our core feature, AI suggests people within 20km of you who want to drink today. Take your time finding someone nearby to grab a drink with. ■ Lock In a Partner in No Time With Auto Match, AI matches you with someone who fits your conditions. You can even lock in tonight's drinking partner effortlessly — without exchanging a single message. * Now rolling out to a select group of users who meet our screening criteria. ■ Daily Reset at 5 AM All matches and messages from the previous day are reset. We keep an environment where only people who want to drink right now are logged in. So you can always meet active partners. ■ Group Drinks & Drop-ins Welcome Not just 1-on-1 — group gatherings and joining midway are welcome too. Regardless of headcount or gender, enjoy drinks casually. ■ Available Nationwide + Worldwide Available across Japan, including Tokyo and Osaka. Anywhere in the world, as long as users are nearby, you can meet up on the spot. Online drinking is supported too, so you can toast with drinking buddies far away. ■ Safe & Secure Operation With human monitoring and a reporting/patrol system, we've maintained a safe, secure environment for 10 years. /////////////////////////////// Great For Times Like These /////////////////////////////// ・You want a friend to casually drink with nearby ・You absolutely want to drink with someone tonight ・You're looking for someone to grab just one drink with after work ・Your gathering is short on people, or you want to balance the gender ratio ・You want to connect with drinking buddies across Japan online ・You want to keep the night going after a girls' night out /////////////////////////////// Before You Start /////////////////////////////// ・Please review the "Terms of Use" and "Privacy Policy" before using the app. ・Your own Apple ID is required to log in. ・Use by anyone under 20 is strictly prohibited. ・Your activity is never reflected or posted on social media or other external services. ・Some features, such as sending and receiving messages, may require payment.
