Dating in Japan: questions and answers
Is there a free dating site in Japan?
Yes. YADate is a free online dating site, in Japan and everywhere else: profiles, search filters, likes, messages, voice messages and gifts cost nothing, and there is no premium plan. The only limits are daily caps against spam, such as 40 new conversations a day.
Are the singles in Japan real people?
There are no fake profiles here: YADate doesn't create them or chat on anyone's behalf. Photos go live only after a moderator approves them, every account confirms an email address, and reports are reviewed by people. Anyone who asks for money or pushes you to move to another app straight away is worth reporting.
Can I meet people from outside Japan?
Yes. YADate works worldwide: choose any city in the filters and see the people there.
