The Japan Marriage Support Association (Minato-ku, Tokyo; Representative Director: Koki Goto) is launching the "IjuKon Tour," where single individuals living in urban areas can interact with single individuals in local communities, as a new development in its "IjuKon" business, which combines support for moving to rural areas with marriage support.
