Genjitsu Weekly — originally known as Shukan Genjitsu (週刊現実) — translates to “Weekly Reality.” And we mean it.
We’re not here to sugarcoat Japan. We’re here to tell the truth—about dating, love, sex, heartbreak, and everything in between.
Whether you’re looking for a Japanese girlfriend, a hookup, or just trying to understand what the hell is going on when she stops replying after three LINE messages—we’ve been there. And we’re still there.
What Makes Us Different
Most sites about dating in Japan are written by outsiders—or worse, content marketers.
We’ve spent 15+ years in the field. Not watching. Not researching. Dating. Meeting. Messaging. Sleeping with. Loving. And sometimes losing Japanese women.
We’ve used every app, gone on hundreds of dates, and made every mistake you’re about to make—so you don’t have to.
This isn’t theory. This isn’t Google. This is raw, real, and brutally honest insight into the minds of Japanese women—and the silent rules of Japanese dating culture.
“The girl ghosted me after we slept together. I thought it meant we were dating.”
What You’ll Learn Here
We break down the actual mechanics of dating in Japan:
- What apps Japanese women really use (and which ones they ghost)
- Why Tinder is a trap if you don’t understand how Japanese flirting works
- How LINE messages act as emotional currency
- What Japanese women want—but won’t say
- Why some women are open to sex early—and others never are
- How to avoid looking like a clueless foreigner (even if you are one)

Who This Site Is For
This site is for you if:
- You’ve ever typed “How to date Japanese women” into Google
- You’ve tried Tinder in Tokyo and wondered why no one matches
- You want to build something real—but don’t know how to start
- You’re open to sex, love, connection—or just understanding a new culture
- You’ve had your heart broken here and want to know why
It’s not for everyone. If you’re looking for cheap pickup lines, generic “top 10” lists, or fantasies about submissive women, go elsewhere.
But if you want real advice, based on real experience, from someone who’s been in the trenches for over a decade—welcome.
Our Philosophy: Reality. Truth. Integrity.
At Genjitsu Weekly, we follow three non-negotiable principles:
- Reality
- Truth
- Integrity
Reality
We tell it like it is. No filters, no sugarcoating.
We talk about the good, the bad, the confusing, and the quietly beautiful parts of dating in Japan.
Truth
Yes, we run ads. Yes, we recommend apps.
But only the ones we’ve used ourselves, multiple times. We’ll tell you what works—and warn you about what doesn’t.
Integrity
We don’t write for the affiliate industry.
We write for men like you. And we say what others won’t—especially the uncomfortable truths:
- Why Japanese couples stop having sex
- Why “cute and quiet” doesn’t mean “easy and obedient”
- Why being foreign is both an advantage and a liability
From the Author: Why I Started Genjitsu Weekly
When I first came to Japan, I thought dating would be easier. I was wrong.
I got ghosted. Misread signals. Got called “too forward.” Had amazing nights followed by total silence. Then—slowly—I learned.
I’ve dated models, nurses, introverts, office ladies, housewives, and divorcees. Not because I’m tall or rich or perfect. But because I stopped treating Japan like the West.
This site exists so you can do the same—without wasting years of your life.
Genjitsu Weekly Is Not a Fantasy. It’s the Reality of Dating in Japan.
We’ll never tell you what you want to hear. We’ll tell you what you need to know.
And if you’re serious—not just curious—we’re here to help you win.
