What is HAPYNESIA?

HAPYNESIA is a marriage agency specializing in international marriages connecting Japan and Indonesia. HAPYNESIA doesn't focus on those who couldn't get married due to unfavorable circumstances. Rather, it addresses individuals whose values, positions, and systems in the Japanese marriage market didn't align, preventing them from realizing their true potential. We propose marriage not as an extension of romance, but as a life plan based on mutual agreement, respect, and practicality.

Characteristics of the connections that HAPYNESIA handles
Differences from typical marriage agencies

o1

Don't gather a large group of people.

We only deal with relationships that are valid.

Many matchmaking agencies boast a large number of male and female members as their strength. However, a large number of members is meaningless if they don't ultimately lead to marriage. HAPYNESIA has specialized from the outset in "relationships that are difficult to establish in Japan."

o2

Reconnecting values that didn't mesh in Japan, across national borders.

HAPYNESIA connects men who have economic power but whose marriage options are limited by Japanese marriage norms, women who have worked and earned money independently but who cannot fit into Japanese marriage norms, and Indonesia, a society with different values and family structures. We value the idea that it's not that they "cannot get married," but rather that the place and system were not a good fit.

o3

Because we don't chase "numbers",

Avoid unsuitable matches.

In typical matchmaking agencies, emphasis tends to be placed on the number of introductions and the number of arranged meetings. HAPYNESIA does not force meetings or introduce unsuitable partners, and does not leave conditions or circumstances ambiguous. We do not handle relationships that will cause problems after marriage from the start.

From the beginning, the positions of men and women

Designed to be equal

At HAPYNESIA, both men and women review the conditions on equal footing and proceed only after they are satisfied. We emphasize a relationship based on respect and agreement, rather than a structure of chooser and chosen.

o5

Marriage is not the "goal"

Think of it as "life planning."

What HAPYNESIA is seeing is

This is about life after marriage.

• Selection of country of residence

・Continuing work

Family relationships

We support you in achieving a marriage that is sustainable and doesn't fall apart, taking into account your future lifestyle. HAPYNESIA's core belief is that happiness shouldn't be determined solely by Japanese norms. There isn't just one form of marriage. Values and systems change from country to country. HAPYNESIA is an international marriage agency that helps reconnect values that were previously underutilized in Japan with the world.
