Cities
Japan first, then the next country.
You can use Machi anywhere in Japan: pick any of the 47 prefectures and the cities, towns and wards within them. Tokyo, Osaka, Kyoto and Yokohama are where we've gone deepest first. Other countries are in preparation, with no launch dates set.

Where we've gone deepest
Tokyo, Osaka, Kyoto and Yokohama.
These four cities are where we started. Life & Travel even has dedicated Tokyo must-sees and Roppongi Art Belt collections.
Everywhere else, you can still post, look for work and find a place to live. How much you'll find varies by city, depending on how many people there use Machi and share what they know.
Countries in preparation
South Korea, Canada, Australia, the United States, the United Kingdom, France and Germany.
We're researching these countries: what people there ask most, and which sources they can rely on. Once we know, we'll build the guides and city channels to match.
“Preparing” doesn't mean open, and we don't promise launch dates.
