Koi Fes 2025 in Kanazawa: A Matchmaking Marvel

On May 18, 2025, the city of Kanazawa hosted an extraordinary matchmaking event entitled "Koi Fes 2025 in Kanazawa - Setting Sail into Destiny! Discover New Sparks!" This successful collaboration between Omikare, a leading matchmaking platform in Japan, and the local Kanazawa government saw 116 participants enjoying a day filled with hope and potential love.

A Record-Breaking Event

The anticipation for this event was palpable. From the moment applications opened, the event reached its maximum capacity in a flash, highlighting the eagerness of individuals aged 20s to 30s to find meaningful connections. The breakdown showcased 59 men and 57 women, with an average male age of 30.7 years and female average age of 30.0. Notably, participants in their late 20s made up over 40% of the attendance, indicating a significant interest from that demographic.

The unique aspect of this event was the engagement facilitated by Naomi Araki, a wedding coordinator who led discussions and activities aimed at creating comfortable atmospheres for interactions. Through various games and relaxed settings, many attendees broke the ice, resulting in a staggering 43 pairs forming by the end of the event.

Omikare Live: A New Communication Channel

To enhance interaction, Omikare introduced its innovative voice-based matching app, "Omikare Live." This platform allows participants to send likes to each other, facilitating voice and video calls. All attendees were encouraged to register for the app, creating a dedicated space where they could connect with each other’s profiles. After initial interactions during facilitated activities, participants had additional opportunities through the app to express interest in others they identified as potential partners.

The feedback was overwhelmingly positive: a total of 605 likes were exchanged, with participants engaging actively to connect. This feature served to diminish psychological barriers that might prevent someone from approaching another person in real life—a significant factor in matchmaking dynamics.

Final Matchings and Participant Satisfaction

As the event drew to a close, participants engaged in an exchange of approach cards, indicating their interest in someone they had met. Ultimately, 43 couples were matched, a testament to the successful framework of the event. Remarkably, 75% of participants expressed they would love to join similar events again.

An anonymous survey following the event showed that the majority were either "very satisfied" or "somewhat satisfied," with particular praise for the kickoff games and the provision of drinks and sweets that kept the atmosphere light and engaging. Comments reflected a blend of excitement and satisfaction: "I was able to meet many people in just half a day!" and “The atmosphere was surprisingly relaxing.”
