IBJ, Japan's Largest Marriage Consultation Network, Surpasses 110,000 Registered Members

IBJ Corporation (President and CEO: Kenjiro Tsuchiya, Head Office: Shinjuku-ku, Tokyo, TSE Prime: 6071), which creates the most marriages in Japan, announced that its marriage consultation network 'IBJ' has surpassed 110,000 registered members (as of July 15, 2026: 110,482 members). The company surpassed 100,000 registered members in August 2025, with over 6,000 new members joining each month. In addition to the steady increase in new members at the group consultation offices, including ZWEI, and the nationwide 4,797 affiliated consultation offices, the member base is steadily expanding due to the growing demand for marriage consultation offices.

Background of Surpassing 110,000 Registered Members

The increase in members is backed by the growing demand for marriage consultation offices in the marriage activity market. The group consultation office ZWEI has seen a significant increase in new members compared to the previous year, driving the expansion of the member base and capturing marriage activity needs on a national scale.

In recent years, there has been a growing demand for efficient ways to find matches with the premise of marriage, especially among those with experience using matching apps, leading to an increase in people choosing marriage consultation offices. Additionally, there has been an increase in membership among 20-year-olds, expanding the user base to younger generations who hope for early marriage activity with marriage in mind.

In addition to the expansion of the user base, the recognition of marriage consultation offices as one of the options for marriage activity has also contributed to the increase in members. Furthermore, the increase in registered members has broadened the opportunities for meetings, enhancing the value of activities and creating a virtuous cycle that leads to new memberships. Additionally, the accumulation of marriage achievements, word-of-mouth from users, and the creation of marriages by affiliated consultation offices have increased market trust, further boosting the increase in new members.

Launch of Member-Exclusive Privileges for IBJ Affiliated Stores

IBJ, in response to the increase in registered members, is expanding member-exclusive privileges for affiliated store members to further support their marriage activities. As the first step, the member-exclusive privileges for the fashion rental service 'airCloset' will start in July.

First impressions are an important element in matchmaking and dates. By easily utilizing coordinated outfits suited for marriage activities, we support the creation of an environment where members can engage in activities with more confidence.
