Marriage Agency Naresome Prep School Ranks No. 1 in "Marriage Success Rate," "Proportion of Members in Their 20s," "Average Member Annual Income," and "Time to Marriage"

Naresome Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Minato-ku, Tokyo, CEO: Yutaka Uba), which operates the marriage agency "Naresome Prep School," is pleased to announce that it has achieved first place in four categories: "Marriage Success Rate," "Proportion of Members in Their 20s," "Average Member Annual Income," and "Time to Marriage" in a market survey conducted by the Japan Marketing Research Organization.

Since the service's launch, with the philosophy of "Marriage for a Lifetime of True Happiness," we have supported individuals in their search for a partner, and as of the end of May 2026, we have facilitated over 3,600 successful marriages.

We interpret these survey results as third-party validation of the marriage success, member base, and the effectiveness of our partner-seeking support, which emphasizes self-understanding, that Naresome Prep School has built up.

Achieved No. 1 in 4 Categories in Third-Party Survey

Naresome Prep School ranked No. 1 in the following four categories:

Marriage Success Rate No. 1

Proportion of Members in Their 20s No. 1

Average Member Annual Income No. 1

Time to Marriage No. 1 (Median activity period 5.8 months, 2025 results)

In the search for a partner, it is not simply about increasing the number of encounters.

It is important to understand the right partner for oneself, have criteria for judgment that look ahead to married life, and make decisions with a sense of conviction.

Naresome Prep School provides opportunities for self-understanding and learning necessary for partner searching through video content, events, various workshops, and community activities, enabling members to proceed with their search while organizing their values and views on marriage.

We believe that the "No. 1 Time to Marriage" result is a reflection of the environment we have created, where members can reduce hesitation and more easily move forward with relationships with suitable partners, thanks to this learning environment and support that emphasizes self-understanding.

Over 3,600 People Have Successfully Married Since Service Launch

Naresome Prep School is developing a unique service that combines information dissemination through YouTube and social media with data-driven partner-seeking support, under the banner of "Updating the Norms of Marriage Agencies."

Since its establishment in 2023, we have facilitated over 3,600 successful marriages (as of May 2026), supporting many members in getting married in a short period.

Furthermore, rather than considering marriage as the goal, we operate the post-marriage support service "Itonami" to provide ongoing learning and interaction opportunities even after marriage, with a focus on marital relationships and family life.

A Community of Young, Serious Members Seeking Marriage

Proportion of male members by age ※Naresome Prep School: As of December 2025, IBJ Overall: As of January 2026

Proportion of female members by age ※Naresome Prep School: As of December 2025, IBJ Overall: As of January 2026

At Naresome Prep School, many members are young, primarily in their 20s to early 30s.

While IBJ overall has a wide age range of members, mainly in their 30s to early 40s, Naresome Prep School has a large number of members in their 20s to early 30s.

This makes it easier to meet peers of marriageable age, leading to many introductions among members and couples forming within Naresome Prep School.

Average Annual Income Significantly Exceeds National Average

※Average annual income of Naresome Prep School members: As of December 2025

The average annual income of Naresome Prep School members is:

Men: ¥7.94 million

Women: ¥5.45 million

This is significantly higher than the Japanese average annual income of:

Men: ¥5.87 million

Women: ¥3.33 million

according to the Survey of Private Sector Employees' Salaries for Reiwa 6 (2024).

Naresome Prep School has many members who are serious about career development and future planning, and it provides an environment where they can proactively discuss life plans after marriage.

"Logical x Love Marriage" Fostering Self-Understanding and Judgment Criteria

Naresome Prep School's first book, "Marriage for a Lifetime of True Happiness! Logical x Love Marriage," will be released by Asahi Shimbun Publications on June 19, 2026.

Naresome Prep School advocates its unique method, "Logical x Love Marriage," which looks beyond just "conditions" or "romantic feelings" to ensure happiness after marriage.

It emphasizes the balance between "logical" assessment of values and life plans, and "love" that cherishes feelings of affection for the other person, supporting members in actively choosing a marriage that suits them.

This approach has been featured in NHK interviews and is gaining attention as a new option for modern partner searching.

In partner searching, decisions are required not only at the point of meeting but also repeatedly regarding "which partner to focus on," "when to advance the relationship," and "which sense of unease to pay attention to."

Naresome Prep School provides an environment where members can organize their doubts and anxieties through unique learning content, member events, and workshops led by relationship psychologists to deepen self-understanding.

Through these initiatives, the median time to marriage is 5.8 months (2025 results).

Naresome Prep School values marriages achieved through repeated decisions with a sense of conviction, rather than solely aiming to shorten the activity period.

Comment from Yutaka Uba, Representative Director of Naresome Co., Ltd.

We have always valued the stance of not using the word "No. 1" lightly.

While numbers and rankings are easy to understand, we believe that they alone cannot measure the value of a service or the happiness of our members.

On the other hand, objective data can be an important factor for those seriously looking for a place to engage in partner searching, providing reassurance to take that first step.

We believe that these survey results objectively confirm, through a third-party investigation, one aspect of the partner-seeking support that Naresome Prep School has been engaged in since its establishment.

We will continue to strive to increase "happy marriages that last 50 years" without being satisfied with numbers, and will continue to focus on the happiness of each and every member.
