Buy Me a Matcha
A friends-only app made for Tokyo, entirely in English. You meet one person over a matcha or coffee, there's an Only women setting, and you can sign up as a Tourist with your leaving date.
If you're a woman visiting Tokyo on your own and you'd like a friend for a coffee or an afternoon, not a date, start with Buy Me a Matcha: it's the only app built specifically for English speakers to make real friends in Japan, friends-only, English-only and one-on-one over a matcha, with an Only women setting and a Tourist option for your dates. You'll also hear about NomadHer, GAFFL and Touch. They're built for something else: travel communities, trip buddies, friendship in Japanese. Here's how they differ, so you can pick on day one instead of trying ten.
