Frequently Asked Questions

Q.Can foreigners or non-residents of Japan sign up?+
A.

Most Japanese sugar dating apps require a Japanese mobile phone number for SMS verification, plus a government-issued ID (passport or Japanese residence card) for mandatory age verification. In practice, foreigners living in Japan can usually register, while signing up from overseas without a Japanese phone number is generally not possible.

Q.Are these apps safe to use?+
A.

All apps listed on this site employ age verification and monitoring systems. That said, protect yourself: don't share personal details too early, and meet in busy public places first.

Q.Are the apps free for women?+
A.

On most apps, women can use core features for free while men pay a monthly fee. Pricing varies by app, so check each official site for current rates.
