【FAQ Categories】

0. Matchmaking Service at TJM

0-1. I don’t speak any Japanese. Is it possible for me to marry a Japanese woman?

Answer:
Absolutely! Many of our female members are either fluent in English or highly motivated to live abroad and embrace international cultures. We believe a “sincere heart” and the “will to connect” are far more important than any language barrier. At TJM, we provide full communication support to ensure your feelings are perfectly understood.

0-2. What kind of women are registered with TJM?

Answer:
We represent sophisticated, independent, and family-oriented Japanese women who are genuinely seeking a lifelong commitment. While their backgrounds vary, they all share a desire for a “sincere partnership.” Every member undergoes a strict screening process, ensuring you only meet trustworthy, high-quality individuals.

0-3. I live outside of Japan (USA, Europe, etc.). Can I still use your service?

Answer:
Yes, definitely. TJM is a specialist in international matchmaking. Whether you are in New York, London, or anywhere else, we support your journey. In fact, the majority of our success stories involve men living overseas who successfully started new lives with their Japanese brides.

0-4. I’m very busy with work and can’t travel to Japan easily. How does the process work?

Answer:
We’ve optimized our process for the modern professional. You can start by building a connection through video calls (Zoom) from the comfort of your home. While physical distance exists, we bridge the emotional gap with our expert guidance, helping you build a solid foundation before you even meet in person.

0-5. Can I see my matching possibilities before officially joining?

Answer:
Yes, you can. We invite you to start with our Free Profile Registration. This allows us to review your preferences and let you know if we have compatible matches currently in our database. It’s the perfect first step to opening the door to your future.

0-6. What kind of support does a matchmaker provide?

Answer:
We offer much more than just “introductions.” From arranging the first meeting to providing relationship coaching and helping navigate cultural differences, I will be your personal consultant every step of the way. You don’t have to do this alone—”Matsunao” is here to support you!

0-7. Does an age gap matter? Will I be accepted?

Answer:
In Japanese culture, many women deeply appreciate the stability, maturity, and kindness that older men bring to a relationship. What matters most isn’t the number on your passport, but your current lifestyle and your genuine care for your partner.

0-8. How long does it usually take to find a spouse?

Answer:
While everyone’s journey is unique, most of our members find their ideal partner within 6 to 18 months. Some even meet “the one” within just a few months. Our goal is a steady, high-quality match that leads to a successful marriage, not just a quick date.

0-9. How is TJM different from dating apps or other websites?

Answer:
The difference lies in Safety and Personalization. Unlike anonymous dating apps, all our members are identity-verified and 100% serious about marriage. We don’t use cold algorithms; we provide “hand-selected” introductions based on deep personality compatibility and human intuition.

0-10. I’ve had unsuccessful experiences with matchmaking before. Is TJM different?

Answer:
Your past experiences are valuable lessons, not failures. At TJM, we take a personalized approach to understand what didn’t work before and refine your strategy. We are committed to your happiness and will continue to encourage and support you until you find your perfect match.

0-11. How do you handle my privacy?

Answer:
Your privacy is our top priority. All personal information is handled with the utmost confidentiality and is never disclosed publicly. You can focus entirely on finding love with the peace of mind that your data is safe with us.
