This article will be helpful if you want to know the most appropriate moment for a Japanese girl to want to be kissed. Or if you are the girl, you need to know the most likely moments when the kiss will happen and thus help the shy Japanese guy to take the initiative.
The best situations to kiss
In Japan, relationships often start in a somewhat peculiar way. A simple flirtation begins to turn into friendship, and you may be uncertain if there is romantic interest from the person. Sometimes even after a confession (kokuhaku), kisses do not happen, and you are left wondering how to make it happen. Below we will see the best situations for these kisses to occur:
When being pushed against the wall – Kabe-don – The term kabedon (壁ドン) has become common in Japan. The word indicates the act of a boy pushing a girl against the wall while placing his hand over her. The image below is quite explanatory; the girl may love this attitude, but make sure she will accept you. This is the right moment to whisper romantic words, kiss her, and look deeply into her eyes and smile.

On the Ferris wheel – If you are on a date at an amusement park, this is undoubtedly the best and most likely place for a kiss to happen. Sometimes even confessions and marriage proposals are made inside the Ferris wheel, especially when at the top; this is the right moment.
At the end of a date – When saying goodbye after a romantic date, the girl eagerly awaits the kiss, and you need to take the initiative. If you are the girl, don’t be shy and make it clear that you want to be kissed, because if you wait for a shy Japanese guy, you might end up without one.
If you are already married or in a long-term relationship, we suggest that you kiss your girl every day when leaving and arriving. Another interesting moment to kiss your girl is when she is cooking; sneak up on her from behind.
Planning a place for the kiss
If you are already dating and don’t know the appropriate moment to kiss her, you can try to create the situations mentioned above. There are other obvious situations that girls create to show they want to be kissed. If you are the man, you can create common situations for these kisses to happen in a romantic way.

You should keep in mind that Japanese people are shy and need an isolated environment to kiss. Try to create a romantic atmosphere as well; start by holding hands, something that girls expect more on a date. Considering these factors, let’s look at the most common and expected places to kiss:
- On the school terrace;
- Inside an elevator;
- Inside a car;
- In the cinema;
- In the bedroom;
You should also pay attention to the girl! There are many signs that she gives to let you know that this is the exact moment for the kiss:
- If she puts on lipstick in front of you;
- If she is close to you;
- If she frequently compliments you;
- If she lightly bites her lips;
- If she looks you in the eye and at your mouth;
- If she makes indirect hints;

If you are on a date, there is nothing to fear. Just don’t be shy and take the initiative! Kissing in Japan is becoming less of a taboo; it is becoming common to see people kissing in public, I even see Japanese girls kissing strangers.
