Experience Meaningful Connections at the 15th Winter Garden Party

The Japan Matchmaking Support Association (JMSA), located in Minato, Tokyo, is excited to announce its upcoming event, the "15th Winter Garden Party," aimed at singles who are serious about finding a life partner. Scheduled for December 20, 2025, the event will take place at the elegant Seiso-en Garden, located in Koto, Tokyo. This occasion represents the final opportunity of the year for passionate individuals in their 20s and early 30s to engage in a meaningful matchmaking experience.

Designed specifically for the marriage-minded demographic of ages 24 to 32, the Winter Garden Party creates an inviting atmosphere for attendees to mingle freely in the picturesque surroundings of a public garden. The overarching goal is to cultivate genuine connections among peers who are expressing a serious interest in marriage and relationships. With the changing seasons as a backdrop, participants will be encouraged to strike up engaging dialogues while enjoying the serene garden environment.

The Target Audience

Recent data from a similar event held in September reveals that the average age of participants was 27.6 years for women and 28.8 years for men, highlighting the increased interest among individuals in their late 20s who are contemplating serious relationships. That event, which hosted 48 attendees, resulted in seven couples forming, demonstrating the potential for successful matches.

A pre-event survey indicated that many participants shared a desire to step outside their comfort zones. Responses included:

• - "I have limited opportunities to meet people at work and wanted to take a step forward."
• - "With more friends getting married, I've started to think seriously about my future."
• - "I prefer face-to-face interactions rather than apps."
• - "I felt reassured by the reliable information provided by the Tokyo government."

Such feedback underscores a collective eagerness among the attendees to engage with their peers.

A Proven Track Record of Success

The Winter Garden Party follows a series of successful matchmaking events held throughout the year, which accumulated 315 participants from March to September 2025. These events recorded a matching success rate of 25%, with 39 couples formed. Attendees frequently remark on the positive aspects of their experiences:

• - "The beautiful garden scenery served as a great conversation starter, allowing me to relax."
• - "I attended alone, which reduced any pressure I might have felt."
• - "Staff members were thorough in their facilitation, making me feel at ease."

With the upcoming December event, organizers are confident that a similar atmosphere conducive to high-quality interactions will prevail, where singles can chat in a comfortable and low-pressure setting.

What is the “DOKONSAI”?

Since its inception in 2010, the Japan Matchmaking Support Association has hosted the DOKONSAI—a series of matchmaking events that focuses on fostering relationships among singles who are serious about marriage. In 2024, JMSA organized a total of seven events resulting in 1,199 applicants and 407 participants. The matching success rate observed was 25.1%, culminating in 50 couples finding relationships.

Event highlights from previous gatherings indicate a consistent pattern of attendee satisfaction, with nurturing environments that encourage engagement among singles.
