Extension of Marriage Support Program: Introduction of New Campaign Until July 2026

Extension of the Introduction Marriage Campaign

The Japan Marriage Support Association (located in Minato-ku, Tokyo, led by Representative Koki Goto) has announced an extension of its highly praised "Introduction Marriage" campaign, originally set to conclude on June 30, 2026. The new deadline is now July 31, 2026. This decision reflects the growing need for support in the marriage-seeking community, especially in light of rising living costs.

Ongoing Benefits

Moreover, the campaign includes a special offer of waiving the standard setup fee of 3,000 yen (tax included), which will remain effective until August 31, 2026. Through this initiative, the association aims to create a comfortable environment for individuals seriously considering marriage while minimizing their financial load.

Reasons for Campaign Extension

In recent years, there has been a notable increase in individuals seeking to minimize costs associated with marriage activities due to inflation. However, many still express concerns about modern matchmaking applications, questioning the sincerity of potential partners and desiring safe, secure connections.

In response, the Japan Marriage Support Association is committed to providing a secure space for individuals seeking meaningful relationships through its one-on-one "Introduction Marriage" service, which caters specifically to those aiming for marriage.

Shared Intent for Marriage is Key

A crucial aspect of successful matchmaking is the alignment of intentions regarding marriage. Singles today have diverse motivations—some are open to casual dating, while others are focused on finding a lifelong partner. Starting a relationship with differing objectives can lead to confusion about future directions. The "Introduction Marriage" initiative focuses on connecting individuals with similar marriage intentions, encouraging a supportive and dedicated dating environment.

Features of the "Introduction Marriage" Service

The "Introduction Marriage" service is characterized by personalized introductions from dedicated staff members. Participants review profiles with photographs in advance, and an introduction is arranged only when both parties express interest in meeting. This careful approach allows individuals to navigate the marriage process with confidence and clarity.

Additionally, the service emphasizes quality interactions over quantity. Participants engage one-on-one, allowing for deeper connections without the pressures of handling multiple interactions simultaneously. The fee structure is straightforward, requiring only a membership fee and the setup fee, ensuring participants are not burdened by additional costs such as registration or success fees.

Unlike conventional matchmaking services, the dedicated staff verifies both parties' marriage intentions and preferences, making the overall experience with "Introduction Marriage" distinctively reassuring.
