Metaverse Marriage Event in U'nan City

On October 11, 2025, from 14:00 to 18:00, U'nan City will host an innovative matchmaking event in the metaverse called "U'nan Metaverse Marriage". This event is organized by the city in collaboration with Persol Innovation Co., Ltd., a company part of the Persol Group. Persol Innovation is known for its vision of "working and smiling" and is committed to supporting this event with its metaverse marriage service, Mitsu-VA (https://www.mitsuva.jp/).

What to Expect at the U'nan Metaverse Marriage Event

The U'nan Metaverse Marriage event allows participants to create avatars to interact in a virtual space. Before the event, attendees can take a "Partnership Diagnosis" to visualize their personalities and views on marriage. On event day, participants will engage in one-on-one conversations with others of the opposite sex and have the opportunity to present themselves to the group, completing a matching sheet afterward. Couples who successfully match will have the chance to date in the metaverse and, with mutual consent, transition to real-life dates.

Last year’s event, co-hosted with Izumo City, saw the creation of two couples, showcasing the potential of virtual matchmaking.

Partnership Diagnosis

The "Partnership Diagnosis" is a tool designed to visualize emotional capacities, developed by experts with knowledge of matchmaking. It takes about five minutes to complete using a smartphone.

A Message from U'nan City Officials

After the successful joint event with Izumo City last December, U'nan City is excited to host its first standalone metaverse marriage event. Participants will experience the city's natural beauty, including rich forests and rivers, experience local tourism, and enjoy various regional products like sake, wine, dairy products, and soy sauce.
