Join the 15th Dokonsai Winter Garden Party: A Unique Matchmaking Event for Singles

15th Dokonsai Winter Garden Party: An Exclusive Matchmaking Event

The Japan Marriage Support Association, based in Minato, Tokyo, is excited to announce the 15th iteration of its popular matchmaking event, the Dokonsai 15th – 2025 Winter Garden Party. This special occasion will take place in the serene Kiyosumi Garden Taisho Memorial Hall in Koto, Tokyo on two days: December 14 (Sunday) and December 20 (Saturday), 2025.

As the event draws near, there has been a significant interest from female applicants, leading to an urgent call for male participants. This year, the Dokonsai event has recorded an impressive participation, with 407 individuals taking part in a total of seven events in 2024, and an overall of 1,199 applications throughout the year. The matching success rate of couples forming at these events stands at 25.1%, demonstrating the effectiveness of this well-organized platform for serious singles.

Venue and Participant Details

The event will be held at the Kiyosumi Garden, a location chosen for its beautiful surroundings, providing a picturesque backdrop for meaningful connections.

Current Application Status

- The December 14 session has reached full capacity for female participants, and we are now seeking additional male attendees.
- There is limited availability for women's spots on December 20, prompting the second round of applications.

The Dokonsai is selective and designed specifically for individuals attending alone, making it ideal for first-time applicants. Our structured approach allows newcomers to engage comfortably and openly with potential matches.

Success Rate and Feedback

The Dokonsai, held for over 15 years, remains unparalleled in its scale and success across Japan. In the last year alone, between March and September 2025, the events witnessed 315 participants, with 39 couples forming—a solid 25% success rate based on those matched by their first preferences.

Here are some testimonials from past participants:

- "The atmosphere was welcoming even for first-timers."

- "The beautiful scenery and the careful event management made it a great experience."
