Hiring a date for the occasion — explained

Hiring a date for a wedding or event in Tokyo

4 min read

Tokyo's occasions are punctual and formal: wedding receptions, company year-end parties, business dinners. A Girlfriend Hire companion comes as your strictly platonic guest, briefed on the customs and the names, and leaves at the agreed time.

Where you meet first

A café near the venue in Ginza, Omotesandō, Nakameguro or Shibuya, with the exact station exit named in the plan. Punctuality matters, so build in time.

The occasions people book for

Wedding receptions and after-parties among friends or colleagues, bōnenkai year-end parties in December, and business dinners where partners are invited. A wedding gift of cash in an envelope is your custom to follow, not hers.

What it costs in Tokyo

A booking in Tokyo is priced for the country: about $530–$770 for the day, before her travel and any tickets. The exact price is agreed in writing before you book.

When to book

December's year-end parties and the spring and autumn wedding seasons are the busiest. Two to three weeks ahead gives the most choice.

Frequently asked questions

Does she speak English?

Ask for it in your request; many companions in Tokyo speak Japanese and English.

Can she come to a bōnenkai?

Yes, where partners or guests are welcome; agree the introduction in the plan.

Is hiring a date unusual in Japan?

Less than elsewhere — rental companionship is familiar in Japan. Girlfriend Hire bookings are strictly platonic and agreed in writing.
