IBJ Matching, a matchmaking party service operated by IBJ, Inc. (Representative Director and President: Kenjiro Tsuchiya, Headquarters: Shinjuku-ku, Tokyo, TSE Prime: 6071, hereafter 'IBJ'), which boasts the highest number of marriages in Japan, will hold a large-scale matchmaking event 'Ryoyen Daisakusen' for up to 100 people at 'Nagono Campus', a facility utilizing a former school site in Nagoya, on Sunday, April 26, 2026. This event will introduce a 'conveyor belt sushi format' system that connects all participants in 1-on-1 conversations. Responding to the 'time performance' conscious need of wanting to meet many people face-to-face in a short time, it provides efficient and guaranteed 'real-life encounters'.
Background of the Event - Natural interaction awakened by a 'former school site'
In recent years, while efficient encounters based on 'conditions' have become commonplace due to the spread of dating apps, there is a growing demand for 'intuitive chemistry' and the 'atmosphere and excitement of a place' that cannot be conveyed just on a screen. Amid this, we chose 'Nagono Campus (formerly Nagono Elementary School)', which has a history of over 100 years, as the stage for a new form of encounter multiplying 'efficiency' and 'emotion'.
For adults, a 'school' is a special space where they can strip away titles and return to their natural selves. By gathering the enthusiasm of 100 people seriously seeking encounters in the open space of a gymnasium, it creates 'unexpected encounters (serendipity)' that never happen on an app's search screen. On this day when liveliness returns to the former learning house, we aim to provide the most passionate 'real encounters' in Nagoya.
Natural conversation and smiles bounce in a nostalgic space
The main venue, the 'gymnasium', is an open and nostalgic space retaining vestiges of the past. The situation of a gymnasium, which adults rarely step into, naturally relieves participants' tension and encourages lively interaction just like in student days.
Exchange Program on the Day
1. Matchmaking Conveyor Belt Sushi (1-on-1 talk)
Greetings and self-introductions 1-on-1 with everyone. First, talk to everyone to confirm intuitive impressions.
