JapanCupid is one of the best dating sites for finding Japanese singles. She is one of the most popular and also the most serious. In the JapanCupid review we present the site including functions in detail, but also reveal our experiences which we and other members have made. Enclosed we will find out whether JapanCupid is the right and suitable site for your needs.
Registration with JapanCupid
Registration at JapanCupid is quick and easy. You can log in with your Facebook profile or you can choose an email. The second area contains the most important information about you, your age, gender and what you are looking for. Then there are detailed questions which are geared towards your requirements. With these you should take your time and state everything honestly, as you get better results in the search and can immediately check whether you match. This is called Cupid Tags and is a special feature of the website. After about 5-10 minutes you have filled out everything and can start dating.
Overview and design
The design at JapanCupid is not bad in itself. But you shouldn’t have high expectations either, as there are much nicer dating websites out there. But things have been looking better since the change a few years ago. In the upper area of the website you can find everything important such as the news, the search and the area where you can find your dream partner. There is also an area where you can see the latest activities. The profiles of the members are positioned nicely and clearly. If you open this you will find all information, as well as an area where you can see the same interests or how well you agree.
JapanCupid members
JapanCupid is a very large dating site with over 1 million members. Most of it is from Japan. But there are also many Japanese women who live and work abroad. Everything is represented in the age groups. The members of JapanCupid are very attractive and it feels like you only find pretty women here.
At JapanCupid we also suspect some fakes. However, we cannot confirm this. So every now and then Africans or Europeans appear on the site, which is unusual. Of course, they can also register to look for a Japanese man, for example. According to our assessments, this indicates fake profiles, if not even fraudsters. But we mention again that these are only assumptions.
Special features of the website
One can see the attractiveness of the members as a special feature of the website. We haven’t noticed any other dating site where there were really that many attractive women. Apart from that and the very good search function, there are hardly any special features of the website that are worth mentioning.
There is also an app for Android. Although the app does not offer any other functions, it is useful when you are on the road a lot, as you get instant push notifications via the app. iOS users unfortunately have to do without an app.
JapanCupid Premium
JapanCupid is free, at least the registration. You can look around the site without paying anything and use the search function. In the free base, members can also be saved in the favorites list. However, in order to be able to get in contact with the members and use the messaging function, a premium membership is required. The prices differ depending on the term. You get the best deal with an annual subscription. The prices for the premium membership are in the middle range at JapanCupid.

Suggestions on JapanCupid
How do we see the suggestions on JapanCupid? Difficult. The site is reputable and yes, you can definitely find dates and relationships here. According to our experience, it all depends on the nationality. According to our experience, Japanese women are looking for more Asian men, preferably Japanese. As a western man, it is difficult for you. You can come on a date, but you have to make a lot of effort and adapt a little, because the mentality is different with the Japanese. Quickly make a date on Saturday evening and still have a one night stand, we would say is hardly possible. However, it always depends entirely on the woman and where she lives. If she lives and works abroad, the chances are better that you will get her for a date.
At the bottom of the website there is a section with success stories. There you can also see how many have had good experiences and whether western men have found what they are looking for.
JapanCupid experiences
Personally, we had good experiences in the sense of nice conversations during the review period, but we could not date anyone and therefore give no experience in this regard. It is worth looking at the website’s “Success Stories” here. There you can currently find 32 success stories where members have found a partner through the site. Many of them are Japanese with a Western man.
JapanCupid alternative
A good, if not the better alternative to JapanCupid is AsianDating. There you can find singles from all over Asia, including Korea. However, if you are looking for Japanese singles, JapanCupid is still on the better side. If you are on site and looking for a free app, you should definitely use Flirteezy.
Leave us a comment about your experiences with JapanCupid. Tell us if you came on a date and what you think could be improved.
CONCLUSION: JapanCupid
JapanCupid is the best site if you are looking for Japanese singles. The chances of success are a bit low or, according to our assessments, it is difficult to really convince the women of one, but it is a serious dating site with many, especially attractive members. Since registration is free, everyone who likes Japanese women should register once and get an overview.
