■ Comments from both companies

Mr. Keisuke Kamijo, Mr. Mrk & Co. (Dine)

We hit it off with Nazuna, a company that operates luxury Ryokan and luxury Private Villa mainly in Kyoto, and this project got started.

Every month, many customers find a partner on Dine and cancel their membership to the app. This time of year, especially around the New Year, is the busiest time for matchmaking apps.

We hope that through their trip to Nazuna, the couples who meet over dinner will discover many good things about each other and fall even more in love with each other over these two days.

Nazuna CEO Shingo Daimon

Nowadays, living with COVID-19 is becoming the norm. We felt that if Dine, which operates a matching app for "meeting people," and our company, whose corporate philosophy is "being helpful," could work together, we would definitely be able to provide a great service, which was the trigger for this collaboration.

Nazuna is a very popular inn for young couples. It is also popular on social media, and many people who want to spend a special day at the inn visit.

This time, we will be giving away Nazuna accommodation vouchers to couples who have met through Dine as a token of our appreciation. We look forward to offering everyone a wonderful accommodation experience that is unique to Nazuna.

■ Target facilities

Target facility (1) "Nazuna Kyoto Tsubaki St." (6 groups)

This 23-room Ryokan renovated from an alleyway in Kyoto, where townhouses built over 110 years ago stand side by side. The streetscape is reminiscent of the old entertainment district, and guests can experience an extraordinary experience, isolated from the outside world. The inn is divided into five categories themed around the natural beauty of Kyoto: "TAKE," "MIZU," "IWA," "HANA," and "HA," and guests can enjoy the interior design inspired by each theme.

Address: 838 Bomon-cho, Shimogyo-ku, Kyoto City, Kyoto Prefecture

Target facility (2) "Nazuna Kyoto Gosho" (3 groups)

This luxurious Ryokan, with seven rooms, was renovated from two large Kyoto townhouses. Each room has a different interior design based on the theme of "Japanese sweets." Traces of the time when the inn was once used as a lumber store remain everywhere, such as the beams running up the high ceilings and the beautifully decorated fixtures.

Address: 255-1 Hanadatecho, Nakagyo Ward, Kyoto City

Target facility (3) "Nazuna Kyoto Nijo-jo" (3 groups)

You can enjoy rooms that incorporate a modern style into the architecture. All rooms have an open-air bath or a semi-open-air bath, and you can heal your mind and body in the "tea bath" filled with Nazuna's original tea leaves, which are known for their whitening and skin-beautifying effects.

Address: 580 Yakuyacho, Nakagyo Ward, Kyoto City

Target facility (4) "Nazuna Obi Castle Town Onsen" (3 groups) * Accommodation facility in Miyazaki Prefecture

The Obi region of Miyazaki Prefecture is known as "Kyushu's Little Kyoto" for its beautiful streetscape. It flourished as the castle town of the Ito clan of the Obi domain, and as a precious area still dotted with samurai residences, it was the first in Kyushu to be designated as an "Important Preservation District for Groups of Traditional Buildings." Our hotel, which has been renovated from an old samurai residence into a luxurious and clean lodging facility, offers an open space where you can relax and unwind.

Address: 8-1-62 Obi, Nichinan City, Miyazaki Prefecture

* Accommodation will be determined by our company based on applicants' preferences.

■About "Dine"

A third-generation matchmaking and dating app that aims to be "the shortest route to meeting someone." Based on the idea that "you can't know a person's charm until you actually meet them," the app eliminates the need for tedious messaging and arranges dinner dates between users. The app automatically handles everything from scheduling to restaurant reservations, so users can easily go on a date by simply choosing someone they're interested in and matching with them. Thorough consideration is given to safety, including user identity verification, 24-hour monitoring, and measures to prevent last-minute cancellations. In August 2022, the app became the first in Japan to receive third-party certification as an internet-based marriage introduction service.
