JTB's Innovative Online Marriage Consultation Service: Futari Tsumugi

As part of its ambitious expansion, JTB Corporation has launched the Futari Tsumugi marriage consultation service, which will be available online across Japan starting April 1, 2026. This follows a successful trial that began in Kochi prefecture on May 14, 2025. The service transcends traditional matchmaking by integrating travel experiences, marriage consultations, and subsequent wedding planning and life design support—all underpinned by JTB's renowned hospitality.

A New Approach to Marriage Support

Futari Tsumugi is not just about facilitating introductions; it is about creating meaningful connections through travel and shared experiences. In a society where marriage formation is valued, especially in Japan, this innovative service aims to combat declining marriage rates linked to societal issues like the declining birthrate and community vitality.

Outcomes from the Trial Phase

During the trial period, various events themed around travel were held, receiving positive feedback from participants. Many appreciated the unique sense of security that came with JTB’s involvement, sharing sentiments like, “It’s convenient to discuss travel and marriage simultaneously.” This integration has successfully established Futari Tsumugi as a distinctive solution for individuals navigating the complexities of marriage.

Services Tailored for Modern Needs

For those looking to make thoughtful choices in their journey to marriage, Futari Tsumugi serves as a supportive platform. Understanding that each prospective client has individual worries and thoughts, the consultation process emphasizes attentive listening, allowing customers to express their feelings freely.

Detailed Online Support

The online service offers comprehensive support across the nation. With years of experience in online travel consultations, JTB plans to enhance its client service infrastructure significantly. Increased concierge staffing will ensure personalized support, allowing for strong relationships to develop even in a virtual space. This flexible model enables couples from any location to find meaningful connections, breaking down geographical barriers.

New Plans with ARUIS Wedding Co.

In collaboration with ARUIS Wedding Co., Futari Tsumugi introduces the 'Future Planning Marriage Plan'—a service designed to support couples throughout their journey from initial membership to marriage. Online seminars and exclusive events will guide couples through essential preparations for a life together, helping to visualize their future and alleviate any anxieties surrounding wedding planning.

• - Pre-Wedding Experiences: Couples will have the opportunity to visit a specially created wedding venue in Okinawa as part of their first trip together post-engagement, making it unforgettable.
• - Wedding Discounts: Special incentives will be available for couples who book their resort wedding through Futari Tsumugi, highlighting the added value of this service.

Partnerships with Gift Services

To enhance the proposal experience, a partnership with 'Patisserie + Flower' allows for curated proposals featuring splendid flower gifts, making the moment memorable. Additionally, clients can receive professional guidance on creating the perfect proposal atmosphere.

Campaigns and Future Developments

To celebrate the nationwide launch, JTB is running a special campaign—register before May 31, 2026, and the initial registration fee of ¥33,000 will be waived for the first ten clients.

JTB aims to continue providing heartfelt support at significant life milestones, leveraging its unique hospitality to craft experiences for couples from first dates to lifelong partnerships.

Moving forward, JTB's vision for Futari Tsumugi includes extending its services to encompass support for housing and insurance post-marriage, thereby assisting clients in comprehensive life planning. By integrating travel-themed marriage events, JTB also seeks to promote regional attractiveness and community engagement, contributing to revitalization efforts across Japan.
