: 04, 2026 2:09 am : what is the largest dating website
Hello, visitor!
Article about what is the largest dating website:
12 dating apps to swipe right or left depending on what you’re looking for in your next relationship here in Japan. Most foreign women living in Japan who want a serious relationship need to put in more legwork than they might otherwise do elsewhere. Shyness combined with language and cultural barriers make dating an even more stressful situation than it typically is.
Luckily
we live in an era where you can find anything online—even relationships. A quick search online will show you dozens of different 出会い系アプリ ( deai-kei apuri
“dating apps”)
but how do you know what will help you find who or what you’re looking for in Japan? Having been there and done that
I decided to do a quick poll of my foreign friends to find out what dating apps in Japan worked best for them and what didn’t. 15 international women living in Japan gave their original rankings out of five stars. It’s up to you whether to swipe right or left! 1. Tinder. One that doesn’t need an introduction. While most people are “just looking” on Tinder
if you’re actively trying
you will meet not only people to date but also new friends
drinking buddies
networkers
and activity mates. I found a whole group of men and women to check out summer festivals with
so I can speak from experience when I say that Tinder isn’t just for hanky panky. Since Tinder began offering its global passport
it’s enabled better connections and broadened communication
which for several of the ladies was a huge bonus. However
in 2025
the global passport will only be available to users with a paid subscription of at least Tinder+. Language: English
Japanese and 43 more languages. Fees: Free to match
chat and meet. (Special features require a monthly subscription of Tinder+: ¥1
200
Tinder Gold: ¥3
400
or Tinder Platinum: ¥4
300.) LGBTQ+ Friendly?: Yes! Ranking: 5 stars. 2. Bumble. Bumble markets itself as an app where the woman makes the first move
and if she doesn’t message
the match disappears after 24 hours. This app originally relied on the user having a Facebook profile first to log in
which made it a bit slow to catch on in Japan
but now that you can log in with an Apple ID or phone number
it is gaining in popularity. One of the women I surveyed (and who found her current Japanese boyfriend through this app) summarized it as follows: “There are a lot of guys on there
and most of them aren’t on other dating apps. You don’t find as many fake profiles on Bumble as you do with other sites
and you control the whole ‘am I going to bother talking to him’ part
which is really nice.” In 2025
the app is not just for dating
it now has features for business opportunities (Bumble Bizz) and making friends (Bumble BFF). Within the app
you can switch from one feature to another
which makes it very versatile for the global community. Similarly to Tinder
the app now offers a “Travel mode” that allows Bumble Premium users to match with other users worldwide. Language: English
Japanese and 16 more languages. Fees: Free to swipe
match and message. (Special features require a monthly subscription of Bumble Boost: ¥1
600
or Bumble Premium: ¥3
200.) LGBTQ+ Friendly?: Yes! Users on both ends have 24 hours to start a chat or reply. Ranking: 5 stars. 3. Zexy Enmusubi. Zexy Enmusubi is a dating app that is part of a popular Japanese wedding services company. The app overall works on the same principles of matching based on shared interests with a fairly high success rate. Whether this is due to their association with weddings and marriage already is anyone’s guess
but of the people that I know that have used this site
two married someone they met on there
and one is planning her wedding now
so make of that what you will. “I met my husband on this site
so of course
I would recommend it to anyone serious about marriage
having kids and staying in Japan. It does work if you’re brutally honest with yourself about what you’re looking for. If you’re still trying to figure that out
don’t bother with this app.” (Jane
American
31) Language: English and Japanese Fees: Free to register and match. (To send more than one message a monthly subscription of ¥4
900 is required.) LGBTQ+ Friendly?: Zexy Enmusubi no longer allows you to search for same-sex users. Ranking: 4½ stars. 4. Omiai. Omiai is one of the largest online dating apps in Japan
and it relies on your Facebook profile
Apple ID or phone number to search for your ideal match. This is a konkatsu (marriage-centered) service
so unless you’re looking for a serious relationship
Omiai might not be the site for you. There are 24 points that you can filter your results by
including nationality and income level
which some users pointed out makes this site seem more for sugar daddy searching than anything else
but overall
no one had any serious complaints about this site. For daters in 2025
Omiai has somewhat rebranded itself in more of a Tinder/Instagram-friendly fashion
and no longer strictly places focus on it being for marriage. However
if you’re seriously looking to meet a marriage partner
this is probably still your best option when it comes to dating apps in Japan. Language: Japanese only. Fees: Free for women. Men can match for free but must pay ¥3
900 per month if they want to send more than two messages. LGBTQ+ Friendly?: Once you set a gender
they will only show results for the opposite gender. Ranking: 4 stars. 5. Tapple. Tapple is a dating app where
instead of filling out a profile and searching for people
you fill out the qualifiers of what sort of man you’re interested in
and then join different groups based on your hobbies. Then
you’re shown a selection of men who share that interest and meet your criteria
and you can either like
skip
or super like their profile. While I had some positive experiences meeting and talking to people on this app
when the time came to actually meet in person
the people that I spoke to were very hesitant to meet offline. One guy actually said he preferred to talk and date online exclusively. Other foreign female users I spoke with had similar results
so this might not be a good choice if you are seriously looking to meet someone. Thanks to numerous updates to a more streamlined
Tinder-like service and TV and online commercials in 2025
Tapple has become a very competitive app.
