A place to exchange letters with people who know hikikomori from the inside. Some are living it right now, some have lived it before, and some walk, or have walked, beside a family member. Replies may arrive hours later or the next day. That is how letters are meant to be.
🛡️ How we keep this safe
Every letter passes a safety check before it is delivered. Every volunteer has been personally vetted by the operator. What is written here is never shared with anyone outside the team. The full details are published, in plain words, right here:
For everyone's safety, every message is monitored for any rule violations, with anonymity and privacy first. Your letters go to a volunteer who writes in your language and knows your situation from the inside.
Would you like to be one of the people who answers letters? Anyone is welcome: people living hikikomori right now, people who have lived it, and family members. Please reach out through the contact form. We would love to hear from you.
