Note: Japanese sugar dating apps require a Japanese mobile number for SMS verification and a government-issued ID for mandatory age verification. Signing up from outside Japan is generally not possible; foreign residents in Japan can usually register with a passport or residence card.
Editor's verdict
A younger-skewing app with a clean, simple interface that first-timers can navigate easily. It also works reasonably well for sugar mommy dating, though its member base is smaller than the long-established services.
