Omikale Co., Ltd., which operates a matchmaking information site with over 1 million members and supports matchmaking for local governments nationwide, will hold a 100-person matchmaking event, 'Koi Fes 2026 in KANAZAWA ~Likes Connect, Our Future~,' in collaboration with Kanazawa City, Ishikawa Prefecture, at the Kanazawa City Second Main Government Building on May 10, 2026 (Sunday). The event aims to address the rapid decline in the birthrate in Japan, with Kanazawa City focusing on the decrease in opportunities for singles to meet. By combining the 'reliability' of the administration with Omikale's 'customer attraction power and matchmaking expertise' from its 1 million members, they continue to create 'high-quality encounter opportunities' for young people to envision their life designs, including marriage. The previous 'Koi Fes' in November 2025, a public-private partnership, was a great success, with applications exceeding capacity immediately after recruitment began. It achieved an 85% matching rate (42 couples formed out of 99 participants) and an 89.3% satisfaction rate. This year's event will feature an evolved program, including a matchmaking strategy meeting led by Naomi Araki, a matchmaking coordinator with over 25 years of experience and 3,000+ couples formed, a dedicated 'Omikale Live' app for smooth interactions among 100 participants, and local popular sweets provided at the Kanazawa City Second Main Government Building venue.
