TOKYO -- A new service in Japan brings together potential couples who share similar preferences for a home, taking them to a property viewing on their first date.

Japanese real estate company Open House Group hopes that the service, which began in January, will lead to home purchases by pairing people with similar lifestyle aspirations.
