## What is TokyoHelp?

TokyoHelp is a free, multilingual mutual-aid network for everyone living in Greater Tokyo. Post what you need in your language. A neighbour offers to help. You meet up and get it done.

— A FEW MINUTES, NOT A FORM —
• Write your request in English, 中文, or 日本語 — we auto-translate it for everyone else.
• Pick from neighbours who offer, 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 —
• Hand-verified “Verified helper” badges on vetted neighbours.
• 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.
