Yoriai · 寄り合い
In a Japanese village, the yoriai is where neighbours sit down and settle things together. Ours is for the people who keep houses for travellers.
Third Thursday, 45 minutes. One thing that worked, one console tip, one host's question. Recorded, with notes for anyone who missed it. We alternate 14:00, between check-out and check-in, with 20:30, after the day's work.
planned
Walk a member house, share a meal at a local restaurant, and talk shop with the region's hosts.
planned
Ask, answer, share the cleaners and partners you trust, and see how your area is doing, anonymously.
Opens with the first founding hosts
In each region, one host volunteers as 世話人, the convenor, as the inn guilds of the Edo roads had.
From the second seasonal gathering
Four days out of the house. A different region each season, a member house to walk, a local table to share.

Share know-how, never prices. We don't agree rates, terms or who to sell to.
It keeps the circle fair, and within the law.
