Honza was founded
out of the relationship-recovery
Dating Qualification
psychological counseling company.
Because marriage is a major life decision,
we know how important it is
to find fulfillment with the right person.
8 years, 180,000 sessionsof counseling data as our foundation
243 relationship-recovery scenarios developed in-house,
used in education and coaching counseling.
From relationship-recovery counseling to founding
a matchmaking company — we thought long and hard.
From broken engagements before the wedding
to breakups over conflicts big and small,
as we helped people reconcile and marry and saw the results,
we grew convinced that if people received dating education
and were matched with compatible personalities,
many more could be happier —
and so Dating Qualification
became Honza.
Honza’s mission is
to solve the low birth rate
If you could meet someone
who truly fits you,
and even resolve conflicts
wisely together
People often say you need to see someone
through all four seasons
to really know them —
but does it have to take that long?
The person you meet at Honzais someone you can decide to marryand move forward with in four months,
not four seasons. That is who we match you with.
As important as marriage is
never getting divorced
— that is what matters.
Personality differences are the most common cause of divorce.
We research how to prevent such divorces,
and keep developing ways for couples who married through Honza
to build a happy married life —
without end.

Three things that make
Honza different.
Tailored matching based on psychological tests and our own test data
Honza matching reflects both standard psychological tests and our in-house test data, so people with compatible personalities are matched first.
Private parties for people grouped by the 4 Honza tests (ideal-type design, avoidance type, dating readiness, sources of anxiety) and standard psychological test results.
Randomly assembled parties are likely to waste time, so we host parties that truly fit customers who are short on time and energy.
A tailored counseling system from matching to marriage.
We prepare a scenario so that freezing up or overacting in front of someone you like never ends the relationship.
Once a match is made, we coach you on what not to say or do at the first meeting.
Frequently asked questions
How does the service work?
From your first inquiry to marriage, the Honza process looks like this.
Visit-consultation inquiry for a tailored service → 1:1 Marriage Confidence Counseling → ideal-type matching [member gathering, matching or party] → meeting → dating → marriage
*What is 1:1 Marriage Confidence Counseling? → Through 1:1 sessions with your dedicated counselor, we analyze your background, family environment, personality, tendencies, hobbies, ideal type and psychological profile, then provide a marriage solution and guide you through a scenario. You will receive detailed guidance on the typical situations a marriage can face and on how to prevent and handle them.
1:1 Marriage Confidence Counseling is available by phone or in person.
Can I meet the ideal partner I want?
We continuously research and develop data so that you not only meet your ideal type but also reach a lasting result once you find the right person.
Honza independently developed 243 relationship-recovery scenarios from 8 years and 170,000 sessions of counseling data gathered in our relationship-recovery practice, and used them for education and coaching. As we produced results through these scenarios, we became convinced that if people with compatible personalities could be matched and meet, many more people would be happier.
How are you different from other matchmaking companies?
Built on about 8 years of experience as a relationship-recovery IT company
Rather than simple matching managers, our experienced counselors provide reunion counseling for breakups such as broken engagements and divorce, together with solutions based on a database that has produced countless couples.
The most common reason for divorce is personality differences. To keep you from facing such a divorce, we resolve everything from small worries to deep, difficult ones through education and counseling so you can build a happy married life.
