The dating scene in Tokyo

Dating in Tokyo is polite, considerate and often shaped by demanding work schedules. Japanese dating culture values subtlety, respect and gradual progress, and many people meet through friends, work events or dating apps. Cafés, izakayas and seasonal outings such as cherry blossom viewing are popular. Long working hours mean weekday dates are often short and weekends are for longer outings.
