A Japanese dating service has installed a vending machine in Tokyo to allow users to find potential partners, according to a SoraeNews24 report carried by the Borneo Post.

The pink colored cans represent women while beige colored cans represent men seeking companionship. The cans include the prospect's age.

Each can costs ¥9,000 ($78.19) and carries a voucher for an interview with an adviser from the dating service, Matching Advisor Press. The agency arranges a three-hour dinner date for potential matches.

Customers who end up getting married are asked to pay an additional ¥300,000 ($2,606.38).
