Background of the Event

The initial inspiration for the Romance Festival originated from Kanazawa City’s response to Japan's ongoing declining birth rate, which is mainly attributed to a reduction in opportunities for meeting potential partners. The city has hosted various marriage-supporting events aimed at providing young individuals with meaningful interaction opportunities.

In May 2025, the first Romance Festival, titled "Romance Festival 2025 in Kanazawa – Setting Sail for Destiny! Let’s Discover New Excitement!" was successfully held at Kanazawa Port Cruise Terminal, attracting 116 participants and resulting in 43 couples formed. This remarkable success emphasized the ongoing need for creating more opportunities for singles to meet and connect in their twenties and thirties.

Future Plans for Omikare

Looking ahead, Omikare remains dedicated to strengthening partnerships with local governments and enhancing participants' motivation for dating. The organization's vision is to collaborate with both public entities and private businesses, collectively promoting initiatives for supporting relationships and marriages across communities.

Omikare operates Japan's leading matchmaking information site, focused on bridging the gap between singles eager to form connections and the broader societal challenges inhibiting these opportunities. With a commitment to both real-life and online engagements, Omikare is well-positioned to inspire future generations to pursue their romantic aspirations.
