【Shokai Kon】"Continued Spring Encounter Support Campaign" Extended Until Golden Week Due to Popular Demand

The Japan Marriage Support Association (located in Minato-ku, Tokyo; Representative Director: Koki Goto) has decided to extend the implementation period of the "Spring Encounter Support Campaign" for "Shokai Kon," its one-on-one in-person introduction service, until May 10, 2026. This campaign extension comes in response to numerous applications and inquiries received, and it is an initiative launched this spring to meet the increasing needs of marriageable age generations for "efficient encounters" and a "safe environment to meet" amidst rising prices and future anxieties. ■ Background of the Campaign Extension In recent years, due to the impact of rising prices and future anxieties, there has been a strong tendency in matchmaking to prioritize time efficiency (Taipa) and cost-effectiveness (Cospa). Additionally, many people experienced changes in their living environment from the end of the fiscal year to the beginning of the new fiscal year, leading to comments such as "the timing wasn't right" or "I wanted to consider it a bit more." Considering these circumstances, we have decided to extend this campaign to provide more people with opportunities to meet. ■ About "Shokai Kon" "Shokai Kon" is a matchmaking service that introduces identity-verified members one-on-one with photo profiles. By not simultaneously introducing to an unspecified large number of people, it provides a safe environment for encounters while considering privacy. It is a suitable service for those who feel uneasy about matching apps or event-based encounters, or who seek a calm and stable way to meet, and it is utilized by many people. ■ Campaign Overview 【Shokai Kon】Continued Spring Encounter Support Campaign ~Safe Encounters with One-on-One In-Person Meetings~ ・Period: April 15, 2026 (Wed) ~ May 10, 2026 (Sun) ・Benefit: Setting fee (normally 3,000 yen/session) will be free until the end of June 2026. ・Eligibility: Women (23-50s) / Men (25-50s) ・Singles who wish to marry within one year or seek an encounter leading to marriage. ・New registrants in April or May 2026. ・Those who complete member registration within one week of application. *Online consultations are not eligible.
