Japanese author, blogger and YouTuber Yuta Aoki has made a name for himself by candidly talking with Japanese people about their thoughts on a number of issues, including the Japanese dating scene. Earlier this year we focused on what women thought about mixed-race relationships, but now it’s time for Japanese men to share their ideas about what they would like, as well as what challenges they would expect with a person who’s not Japanese.
Also, being a foreigner and trying to date in a country that is 98.5% ethnically Japanese makes it an even more daunting task for some.īut fear not! Though statistics may not be in your favor, there are certainly those that not only want to date, but date people who aren’t Japanese. This is very true in Japan as well, where a survey in 2013 showed that many Japanese aren’t really dating. We’ve said it before and we’ll say it again, dating is hard.
