◆ About "Merutomo" ◆

The "Merutomo" matching app is designed to facilitate the sharing and exchanging of third places, enabling users to connect with new adult friends in a relaxed manner.

・What is a Third Place?

The concept of a "third place," introduced by sociologist Ray Oldenburg, refers to comfortable environments distinct from home, school, or work—these are considered the “third spaces” in our lives. Merutomo offers a platform where users can share their favorite third places through photos and videos, providing opportunities to explore new emotional experiences and personal growth.

・Example of Sharing:

• A: Nice to meet you! Would you mind sharing your third place?
• B: Sure! My third place is the scenic neighborhood of "XX" surrounded by nature.
• A: Do you enjoy nature?
• B: Yes. Being surrounded by nature brings me peace and relaxation.
• A: Do you have any photos or videos of "XX"?
