Members across Japan and beyond are working through the same questions. A few threads worth reading before you sign up:
Allow location access, or type Niigata in manually, then set your radius, and the closest Niigata members come first, with the rest of Japan behind them.
Messages stay between the two people in the conversation, and your exact location is never shared — other members see an approximate distance.
Niigata is busier some evenings than others, and the radius matters more than the hour, and Sunday evenings tend to be the peak, in Niigata as elsewhere.
Start with one clear recent photo and two or three sentences in your bio, and mention something specific about Niigata so people have an opening.
Messaging members in Niigata is free, and so is browsing, and there is no paid tier holding the inbox shut.
