How it works

Between a stranger
and a friend, three steps.

Yoriai isn't a booking engine. It's an introduction. Here's exactly what happens — for the person joining, and the person hosting.

For travelers · The Explorer

You, joining an activity

01

Browse what's actually happening

Open a live feed sorted by soon & nearby. Each card is a real plan a local already made — a 7am river walk, a Friday standing-bar hop — with their photo, rating and how many spots are left.

feed · soon & nearby
02

Open it, read the host

Tap through to the full detail page: an image carousel, a map pin in a public place, the host's bio and past reviews, and exactly who else is going.

03

Request to join

One tap. Your host gets a notification and reads your profile — bio, interests, reviews. Mutual vetting before anyone meets. They approve with one tap; a decline always comes with a reason.

request → approved
04

Show up & connect

Reminders at 24 hours and 1 hour. You meet in public, do the real thing, swap stories. An hour after, you both leave a review — and the city has one more friendly face in it.

meet · review · repeat

First browsable activity in under 90 seconds. First join in under 5 minutes.

Speed-to-value is the whole onboarding. No long forms before you see the good stuff.

For hosts · The Connector

You, posting an activity

Hosting takes under two minutes. You're not designing a tour — you're opening a door to something you're already doing.

1Tap + Create

The button's always there. Start from your dashboard.

2Title, description, category

AI suggests a title from your description if you're stuck.

3Drop a map pin, set the time

Public place, date, duration. Defaults to your location.

4Cap it at 2–10 people

Small groups build trust faster — and feel safer.

5Add up to 3 photos

Camera or gallery. Auto-compressed for you.

6Preview & publish

Goes live instantly. No approval queue.

After the activity

It doesn't end when you say goodbye.

Auto-completeThe activity marks itself "completed" when the end time passes — no admin.
Review promptOne hour later, both sides get a gentle "How was it?" — 1–5 stars, optional note.
Re-engageThen we surface similar activities happening this week, so the next plan is one tap away.
