Japanese girls love to shop. If money is no object you might want to consider treating her to a nice shopping trip. Of course, don’t expect to be going thrift shopping anytime soon, she is more likely to appreciate the finer things in life like designer handbags. So check with your bank before exploring this date option. If you decide to go ahead, choose an area with a lot of boutiques or an upscale mall. Make sure you have planned a few places to stop and enjoy a nice snack or a light meal along the way. Department stores in Japan offer this total experience to couples enjoying a day of shopping together, but unless you are in a major city with nicer department stores, stick to a nice shopping street with minimal walking or driving involved and avoid malls and food courts if you really want to make an impression.
Another great way to bond is over a hot cup of coffee. This doesn’t mean a Starbucks or any other type of in-and-out service coffee chain. Find somewhere nice to take your date where you can sit down and talk together in a more intimate setting. The fact that you would like to get to know your Japanese date will impress her to no end. Remember that Japanese girls value a sense of privacy so make sure that you are sitting somewhere that you won’t be overheard. This will let her open up more to your questions. Ambience is important so choose somewhere with a unique design and layout. Cuteness is key to impressing a Japanese girl. A cupcake shop or anywhere else with delicious sweets will put her in a good mood.

If you want to overload your Japanese date with cuteness take them to a theme park. In Tokyo, one of the most popular date spots is a version of Disneyland called Disney-C. The ‘C’ here stands for couple, announcing its crowded rides filled with couples. If you live anywhere near an amusement park, taking a Japanese girl here is a sure bet. Try to avoid the overly dangerous rides and stick to the character and theme-based attractions. A smaller roller coaster might be just the ticket if you want to inject a little adrenaline into the date. Make sure that she is comfortable with the idea first and be sure to keep asking her if she is alright. Japanese girls love to act a little bit scared of something and they will really notice your concern. If you really want to seal the deal you could buy her a stuffed animal or charm bracelet at the end of the date.

Keep the thrills going by getting high together. No, not that kind of high. Any kind of drugs are highly illegal in Japan and so be careful to avoid mentioning that kind of thing on your date. Instead go for a different kind of high by seeking out an observation deck in a tall building in your city. These type of observation decks with lounges to sit in and enjoy the cityscape are common in Japan and will put you and your Japanese date on top of the world. It is best to go at sunset or at night to see the city spread out below you. Here you might enjoy a light meal or a snack with tea or coffee. If the date has been going especially well you might suggest a cocktail or champagne but don’t be surprised if she politely declines. Drinking is common in Japan but it can be considered extremely impolite or even shameful to be drunk in front of unfamiliar company. This might not be the best idea for a first date so use your discretion.
