Special cross-cultural events continue connecting foreign men who love Japan with traditional Japanese women seeking genuine, lifelong relationships.
Baltimore, Maryland, United States, 23rd Oct 2025 – Traditional Japanese Matchmaker (TJM), a premier U.S.-based matchmaking agency with over 26 years of experience, proudly celebrates the success of its recent Los Angeles Poolside BBQ Matchmaking Event and announces that its upcoming Tokyo International Matchmaking Weekend (November 8-9, 2025) is already fully booked. Both events highlight TJM’s continued mission of fostering sincere, marriage-minded relationships between Japanese women and international professionals.
Los Angeles Poolside BBQ Matchmaking Event: A Hugely Successful Gathering
On September 20, 2025, TJM hosted its exclusive Poolside BBQ Matchmaking Event in Los Angeles, marking one of the agency’s most memorable international gatherings of the year.
A total of 34 participants (17 men and 17 women) joined, supported by two talented BBQ chefs and TJM matchmakers Miyoko (West Coast) and Naoko (East Coast). The event took place at a beautiful private residence graciously offered by a TJM graduate couple who themselves found love through the matchmaking service.
Attendees came not only from Los Angeles but from across the U.S., including San Jose, San Francisco, New York, Boston, Georgia, Chicago, Michigan, Maryland, and Florida.
Set against the backdrop of a perfect, cloudless California day, the event’s poolside atmosphere, lively icebreaker games, and meaningful conversations helped bridge cultural and personal distances in an effortless way.
“We were thrilled to see so many sincere and positive interactions throughout the day,” said Naoko Matsumoto, Founder and CEO of Traditional Japanese Matchmaker. “The success of our Los Angeles event reaffirms how strong the desire is for genuine cross-cultural connection.”
