A regular picks the stalls. You show up, eat, and walk the loop.

Four to five people · ninety minutes · public the whole way

01Small public groups

Four or five people. Never a crowd.

Small enough that everyone at the table actually talks. Public the whole time, so nobody has to guess what they're walking into.

02Routes, not tours

A regular who knows the block. Not a guide.

Hosts post the route they already walk. The group tags along. Nobody is reading off a script or holding up a numbered flag.

03Trust earned, not assumed

Every walk ends with a reference.

When the walk is over, the host and the guests each write a short public note about the others. That's the only record that exists. The next stranger reads it before they ask to come along.

How Sanpo works

Four steps, in order.

  1. 01

    A host posts a walk.

    A local picks a neighborhood they know cold and a short route they already walk on their own.

  2. 02

    You ask to come along.

    Request to join with a short intro about yourself. Hosts read every note.

  3. 03

    The host decides who walks.

    Small groups stay small. Approvals are manual. No random matching, no auto-accept.

  4. 04

    Everyone leaves a reference.

    After the walk, you and the host each write a short public reference. It's the only record. That's on purpose.

Where we're starting

Two cities.

We're opening in neighborhoods we already walk. If you want in, or you already know a corner of one of these cities worth walking, the waitlist is below.

  • New York

    Flushing · Lower East Side · Astoria

  • Taipei

    Da'an · Zhongshan · Ximending

Join the waitlist.

Leave your name and the city you're in. We'll reach out when walks open in your neighborhood.

Keep it short. This helps us shape the first invite waves.
