If you’re a foreign gentleman looking for a serious, lifelong relationship with a Japanese woman, you deserve a matchmaking system that’s credible, proven, and built for success. At Traditional Japanese Matchmaker (TJM), we proudly partner with IBJ—Japan’s largest and most trusted marriage agency network—to help you find your ideal partner with confidence.

What Makes IBJ the #1 Marriage Network in Japan

IBJ (Japan Marriage Consulting Federation) is Japan’s largest and most reputable matchmaking organization and a publicly listed company on the Tokyo Stock Exchange Prime Market. IBJ stands for its credibility, scale, and track record of successful matches. In 2024, over 16,000 couples got married through IBJ, representing 3.3% of all marriages in Japan. That’s more than any other matchmaking system in the country.

Why IBJ Is So Powerful: Numbers That Speak for Themselves

• 4,500+ affiliated matchmaking agencies

• 100,000+ registered members

• 6,000+ new members join each month

• 95,000+ active members at any time

• 26% average success rate

• Average time to marriage: ~9 months (303 days for men, 251 days for women)

This is a network built for serious relationships—efficient, credible, and highly structured.

Verified Profiles = Safe, Serious Matches

All IBJ members must submit the following documents:

• Government-issued ID

• Proof of single status

• Proof of income (required for men)

This ensures that everyone is serious, single, and transparent. No fake profiles. No guesswork. Just real people looking for real love.

How Long Does It Take to Find a Match?

On average, members find their match in about 9 months. Most successful couples go through 6–10 omiai (matchmaking meetings) before entering a serious relationship. It’s a clear, structured process that works.
