Dating by city / Japan / Yamanashi region / Shōwa
Members from Shōwa and towns within 50 km who make their profile public will appear here.
Daytime dates suit a town like Shōwa: a late breakfast or a walk before lunch feels relaxed and ends on its own.
Within 50 km of Shōwa there are 28 towns and cities — Kofu, Fujinomiya and Kai among them — with more than 1.1 million residents in all. In the app you choose the distance yourself: from 10 km to 500 km, or “Any distance”.
Yes. YADate is a free online dating site, in Shōwa 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.
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. Anyone who asks for money or pushes you to move to another app straight away is worth reporting.
Yes. In the filters you can search around any other city, in Japan or abroad.
