Tokyo Speed Dating & a Day in Shonan: Our Last 2026 Weekend
Hi, it’s Naoko Matsumoto.
On November 7 and 8, I’ll be back in Tokyo for the last matchmaking weekend I’m hosting in Japan this year. Single Japanese women, and men who’ve made the trip over from abroad, in the same room, for two very different kinds of days.
I’ve run enough of these now to know: come for just one, and you’ll have a good afternoon. Come for both, and you actually give yourself a real shot. So yes, I’m going to say it upfront, I hope you’ll join us for both.

Saturday, November 7: International Speed Dating
This is the classic format, for a reason. You sit down with each woman, one at a time, in a room built to feel easy rather than stiff. Nobody’s expecting fireworks in five minutes. You’re just there to notice, is there something here worth following up on?
Time: 1:00–3:30 PM
Fee: $150
Sunday, November 8: A Day in Shonan
Sunday looks nothing like Saturday. We leave the meeting room behind entirely and spend the day out in Shonan, walking, having lunch together, rotating through small groups as the day goes on.
There’s no timer running. No five-minute cutoff. Just hours of ordinary time together, which, if you’ve ever actually fallen for someone, is usually where it happens.
Time: 10:30 AM–4:00 PM
Fee: $200 (lunch included)
Why I keep pushing people toward both
Here’s what I’ve noticed, doing this work for as long as I have. A few minutes across a table tells you whether there’s a spark. It tells you almost nothing about who someone actually is, how patient they are, how they treat people when nobody’s performing for a match, whether their kindness holds up over the course of a long day.
That only shows up with time. Which is exactly what Sunday is for.
Early Bird Pricing
Both events together run $350 normally.
Register by October 5, and it’s $300 for both, $50 back in your pocket.
From October 6 onward, it goes back to the regular $350.
Space is limited, so if you’re even half considering this, don’t sit on it too long.

If you’ve already registered
Thank you, truly. We’ll be sending the details for both events, along with your payment link, individually to each of you by the end of this week. No need to register again, you’re already on the list.
One more thing
I know coming to Japan isn’t a small ask. It’s a flight, time off work, a real decision. But if actually meeting a Japanese woman, someone you could build a marriage with, matters to you as much as you say it does, this is the kind of weekend that makes the trip worth it.
If you have any questions, feel free to contact us at any time.
I’d love to meet you in Tokyo!
Warmly,
FOUNDER & CEO
