Mitsu-VA: Your Gateway to Love in the Metaverse

In a move that combines technology with romance, the innovative marriage support service, Mitsu-VA, is set to host an exciting event titled "Yamagata Metaverse Marriage in Shonai" on January 24, 2026. This initiative is backed by the Shonai Regional Collaborative Marriage Support Executive Committee, comprising the Yamagata Prefectural Shonai Regional Office and several municipalities including Tsuruga City, Sakata City, Mikawa Town, Shonai Town, and Yuwa Town.

What to Expect from the Event

The event aims to provide a unique marriage hunting experience in the metaverse, a virtual space accessed via the internet. Participants will create their avatars, allowing them to join the event from the comfort of their homes. This highly interactive platform facilitates relaxed conversations and genuine connections in a 3D environment. Through a pre-event "Partnership Diagnosis," attendees can visualize their personalities and views on relationships, which serves as an informative tool to foster deeper engagement. Each participant will engage in one-on-one conversations with potential partners and showcase their individuality through a self-introduction to the entire audience.

Following the event, successful matches will have the opportunity to go on virtual dates before considering taking their connection into the real world. This approach aims to encourage individuals aged 20 to 45, who are single, to take a proactive step towards finding companionship.

Eligibility Criteria

Men must either reside or work in the Shonai area, while women can join if they live, work, or are interested in the region. The Mitsu-VA service not only streamlines the matchmaking process but also includes expert insights from relationship professionals. A brief five-minute test shared via smartphones evaluates participants’ romantic compatibility, ensuring a well-rounded experience for everyone involved.

Interested participants can register here.

The Metaverse Platform: Virbela

The metaverse for this event is hosted on the Virbela platform, provided by Gaia Link Inc., the official distributor in Japan. Participants can freely navigate a digital 3D space, where they can interact with ease and comfort. The collaboration with Persol Marketing Co., Ltd., an authorized distributor of the Virbela platform, amplifies the experience, allowing attendees to focus more on communication than on technology.

Introducing Mitsu-VA

Mitsu-VA has a logo inspired by a three-leaf clover, a symbol of natural encounters. Unlike the common pursuit of a four-leaf clover, which symbolizes luck, Mitsu-VA aims to create circumstances where anyone can find a partner as long as they are willing to look for one, encapsulating the essence of accessible love.
