If this is your first time using a marriage consultation service, you may have many questions. We have categorized the following frequently asked questions based on IBJ's service rules and our unique features to help you better understand our services. If you have any other questions, please feel free to consult us.
The biggest difference lies in the 'intent of members' and 'authenticity of identity'.
Please rest assured, we do not engage in high-pressure sales. The purpose of the consultation is to understand your needs and make proposals; the final decision to join is entirely up to you.
Yes. We strictly adhere to personal information protection laws.
As a member of IBJ (Japan Marriage Agency Federation), we can introduce over 100,000 members. Men are mostly stable office workers, civil servants, doctors, business owners, etc.; women also have legitimate professions like nursery teachers, nurses, etc. Everyone is genuinely looking for a marriage partner.
Yes. We prioritize your happiness, and finding a partner through other means is also a good thing. However, we do not recommend joining two marriage agencies belonging to the same federation (IBJ) at the same time, as this will result in duplicate profiles in the system, which can easily cause confusion and trouble.
The basic requirements are being over 20 years old, legally single, and willing to marry. Men are usually required to have a certain stable income.
No.
To ensure member quality, the following documents must be submitted:
It is an official document proving you are legally single.
If income is unstable, activities might be difficult (especially for men), so we might suggest waiting to join depending on the situation. Please discuss this during the consultation.
Yes.
We support cash, bank transfer, and credit card payments.
There are three main ways:
Rest assured, our main activity is one-on-one matchmaking (Omiai), and participation in large parties is not mandatory. For members not good at communication, counselors provide advice on clothing, topics, and manners before the meeting.
Yes. Although in-person is recommended, Zoom video meetings can be arranged if both parties agree.
In principle, cancellation is not allowed. If you are unable to attend due to force majeure such as illness, you may request to postpone in advance. However, if you cancel on the day or are absent without notice, a penalty must be paid (usually 10,000 yen or more). This is to maintain credibility and respect the time of both parties.
To avoid disputes, the following are strictly prohibited before marriage withdrawal:
Note: Occurrence of the above is considered 'Marriage', and you will be required to process marriage withdrawal and pay the success fee even without engagement.
'Marriage' (Seikon) means both parties have confirmed their will to marry (usually defined by a successful proposal) and decided to end matchmaking activities. Unlike services that end just by introducing you, our goal is 'Engagement' or 'Promise of Marriage'.
This is the advantage of a marriage agency. If you feel the person is not right, you don't need to say 'No' directly. Please inform your counselor, and we will convey the decline to the other party's counselor. This avoids awkwardness and trouble, allowing you to move on to the next opportunity without burden.
It varies, but many members marry within 10 months to a year after joining. The rule for the dating period from Omiai to Marriage is principally 3 months (extendable to 6 months). Since the meeting is for the purpose of marriage, decisions are usually fast.
We have counselors proficient in international marriage (especially Chinese-Japanese). Besides matchmaking, we provide advice on legal procedures for cross-border marriage and can introduce administrative scriveners for spouse visas if needed (scrivener fees are separate).
Of course. After marriage withdrawal, we can continue to offer advice on wedding preparations, newlywed life, etc. We are very happy to hear good news about your registration, wedding, or childbirth.
