I do vaguely remember hearing about there being 'adoption' and like "What did you eat today?"s BL manga being like "we're a gay couple but i'm adopting him as my son so he can have insurance/health" or something like thatThere is like a partnership certificate system in some parts of Japan that's pretty similar in benefits(?) to marriage
Allows them to visit their partner when they're in the hospital, consenting to surgery for their partner and housing stuff with some municipalities allowing same-sex couples to pick up their kids and make medical decisions for their kids.
Doesn't allow going for a partner's funeral or for the transfer of assets from the deceased to their partner.
It sadly isn't legally binding so it's up to the hospital or landlord to accept it as well
If you want to read more about it:

tho who knows maybe they're not even in japan, I do remember seeing this article? of some lesbian couple basically traveling the world and getting married in every country that allowed it as a 'flex' lol
