About
Machiwa helps you find local hobby circles and events, join them, and run your own. It is not a dating service.
FIND AND JOIN
- Search circles and events within 5 to 100 km of you, or worldwide
- Filter by area, 18 categories and date
- Request to join circles, sign up for events or join the waitlist
- Check in on the day with a QR ticket
INSIDE A CIRCLE
- Members-only board and circle chat
- Today's log: capture the day in 3-second clips or photos, and at 4:00 in the morning everyone's posts become one vlog (no sound is recorded)
- Stories and event photo albums
AT THE EVENT
- Seating charts, random draws and polls
- Event games such as Werewolf, Bingo, Drawing relay and Team maker
FOR OWNERS, HOSTS AND STAFF
- Create circles, review join requests, appoint staff and hand over ownership
- Create events, manage attendees, attendance, check-in and seats, and mark who has paid
- Ask sign-up questions (only the host, staff and the attendee see the answers)
- Message attendees one to one (DM)
USED ITEMS
- Pass on used items to people nearby. Chat with the seller in a trade DM; payment happens outside the app, between the people trading
IN YOUR LANGUAGE
The app follows your device language across English, Japanese and Korean, and you can change it in the app. Notifications arrive in the app's language, and a translate button helps with event descriptions and chats.
SAFETY
Reporting, blocking, moderation and account deletion are built in.
