TJM Private Introductions / Integrated IBJ & TJM Matchmaking Access
TJM is a boutique matchmaking agency specializing in international marriage, built on a strong and carefully cultivated global network.

Women within the TJM network are intentional about building a life beyond borders.

They are not simply “open to foreigners” — they are sincerely seeking an international marriage and a globally oriented partnership.

By combining one of Japan’s largest domestic matchmaking infrastructures with TJM’s specialized expertise in international marriage, we offer our members both scale and depth. Our mission is to create meaningful opportunities to meet a wide range of high-quality, trustworthy singles — delivered with a global standard of care and professionalism.
