About
TokyoHelp is a free, multilingual mutual-aid network for everyone living in Greater Tokyo. Post what you need in your language, and a neighbour nearby can offer to help. TokyoHelp is new and still small, so an answer isn't guaranteed — but posting is free and takes a couple of minutes.
— A FEW MINUTES, NOT A FORM —
• Write your request in English, 中文, or 日本語 — we auto-translate it for everyone else.
• If neighbours offer, you pick — you can see their languages, reviews, and area.
• Chat privately to lock in the time and place.
• Mark it done, leave a quick review, and that's it.
— THINGS NEIGHBOURS HELP WITH —
• City hall & paperwork: 住民登録, My Number, health insurance.
• Translation & interpreting: contracts, doctor visits, school notices.
• Come with me: hospital, real-estate, court, post office.
• Moving & heavy lifting: furniture, that fridge that won't fit.
• Local tips: which clinic speaks English, which sushi spot is good.
• Borrow / lend: a drill, a suitcase, a folding bike for a day.
• Airport pickup: Narita / Haneda, especially for the first arrival.
— MUTUAL AID, NOT A MARKETPLACE —
TokyoHelp is completely free. No commission, no fees, no premium tier. The goal is a kinder, more connected Tokyo — not another gig app.
— BUILT FOR SAFETY —
• A hand-checked “Verified helper” badge — we're new, so nobody has earned one yet.
• Public review profiles. Block & report on every screen.
• Meet in a public place first. Never hand over your residence card, bank book, or money up front.
— WHERE WE COVER —
All 23 Tokyo wards, the Tama area, and Kanagawa, Chiba, and Saitama. We're starting dense in Shinjuku, Toshima, Nerima, and Minato.
— LANGUAGES —
First-class English, 中文, and 日本語. The app, the chat, and every help request can be read in your language.
Welcome to Tokyo. Your first friends are one post away.

What's New in TokyoHelp
1.3.1
August 28, 2026
This update corrects the App Store description. TokyoHelp is new and still small, and the old text read as a promise that a neighbour would answer. We can't promise that, so it now says so plainly — including that nobody has earned a “Verified helper” badge yet. No changes to the app itself. Questions or feedback? Email hi@tokyohelp.app.
