Dating by city / Japan / Kyoto region / Kyoto
Looking for a date, something serious or new friends in Kyoto? Create a profile and you could be the first local on this page.
In Kyoto it helps to meet halfway rather than in one person's neighbourhood. A place near a transport hub means nobody spends an hour getting there, or getting home.
More than 9 million people live within 50 km of Kyoto, in 57 towns and cities including Osaka, Amagasaki and Hirakata. You set the distance yourself in the filters, from 10 km up to 500 km — or choose “Any distance”.
Yes, completely. Nothing on YADate is paid, in Kyoto or anywhere else: you can browse, like, write first and send voice messages or gifts without a subscription or credits. Daily caps exist only to stop spam: up to 40 new conversations a day, for example.
YADate never creates fake profiles or writes on behalf of people who don't exist. A moderator checks every photo before it appears, every member confirms an email address, and any profile can be reported. If someone asks for money or rushes you onto another app, report them — a moderator will look into it.
Yes. Pick any other city in the filters, at home or abroad, and YADate shows the people there.
