Alongside EzHookups, most people in Kobe also try the free tiers on OkCupid, Tinder, Bumble, Hinge and Facebook Dating. Our guides compare what each one actually allows before you pay:

Set your location to Kobe in your profile and choose how far you want to look, and you will see Kobe first, then nearby places in Japan.
You can search Kobe, open a profile and send a message without paying, and the inbox is not the paid part, unlike most free dating sites.
