JTB's Marriage Agency "Futari Tsumugi" Fully Launches Online Consultations

JTB Corporation will commence full-scale online provision of its marriage agency service "Futari Tsumugi" nationwide from April 1, 2026, following a trial that began in Kochi Prefecture on May 14, 2025.

"Futari Tsumugi" proposes a "new form of matchmaking" that goes beyond simple matching, offering comprehensive support from creating encounters based on "travel," to achieving marriage, and further to subsequent honeymoons, weddings, and even life planning, utilizing the integrated capabilities of the JTB Group. After a one-year trial period, preparations are now complete to offer this service online to everyone nationwide.

This service is a new initiative that affiliates with the marriage agency network of IBJ Inc. (Head Office: Shinjuku-ku, Tokyo), which operates a matchmaking support business, and leverages JTB's unique strength in hospitality.

### Background of Online Expansion and Trial Results

Japan continues to see a decrease in annual marriages, which is directly linked to social issues such as the declining birthrate and reduced regional vitality. In particular, family formation through marriage is emphasized in Japan, making "promotion of marriage" an urgent issue.

**Key Achievements During the Trial Period:**

● Highly successful matchmaking events: "Travel"-themed matchmaking events provided participants with a high level of satisfaction and offered a venue for natural encounters.
● Participant feedback: Voices such as "There's a sense of security unique to JTB" and "It's convenient because we can also consult about travel together" were received, appreciating the value of supporting life events in general.

### "JTB-style Matchmaking" Nationwide

For those who want to choose carefully and with conviction.

While differences in track record, number of members, and fees are visible in marriage agencies, it is difficult to judge whether one is suitable based on these alone.

Futari Tsumugi is a marriage agency where you can consult even with such concerns. We carefully listen to your current feelings and doubts even before you decide to join. For the nationwide online expansion, we will leverage the successful experiences from the trial to provide services that are close to our customers.

● Meticulous support through online consultations

"Futari Tsumugi" provides support online, accessible from anywhere in Japan. Leveraging the know-how in online travel consultation, arrangement, and concierge services that JTB has cultivated over many years, we enhance our support system by increasing the number of concierges.

This enables us to achieve meticulous and stable support that aligns with each customer's feelings. Even through the screen, we can carefully understand the customer's intentions and build a relationship where they can speak with confidence. This creates nationwide opportunities for encounters with a flexible service unbound by time or residence.
