Karikon / Rental Groom Service Case Studies
Here are real case studies from our Karikon / Rental Groom service.
Pre-marriage image building (Economy Class)
She wanted to get married but couldn't picture daily life and lacked matchmaking motivation. Using Karikon Economy Class, she experienced 4 hours of simulated married life with a same-age groom. They simulated 'a married couple's day off' — grocery shopping, cooking together, eating, and a neighborhood walk.
Easing marriage anxieties (Business Class)
Busy with work and distant from romance, she felt urgency and anxiety about marriage as she approached 35. She had a 6-hour Karikon Business Class experience — morning cafe, art museum date, shopping together, cooking, and toasting with wine, set up as a 'wedding anniversary.' Seeing the partner share household duties gave her a sense of relief.
Special marriage experience (First Class)
To fulfill her dream of 'experiencing a once-in-a-lifetime wedding,' she used Karikon First Class. She enjoyed the full 8-hour course — luxury car pickup, professional photo shoot in designer attire, dinner at a fine French restaurant, and a thank-you LINE message the next day.
Pre-remarriage simulation (Business Class)
Having experienced divorce, she was cautious about remarriage. Determined not to fail again, she used Karikon Business Class to experience her 'ideal married life.' Over 6 hours, she simulated 'everyday compatibility' with a gentle groom — sharing housework, conversation, food preferences, and more.

Client Testimonials
“I used it as a married life experience. We went grocery shopping together, cooked a meal, watched TV after dinner... just ordinary daily life, but it made me feel warm inside. I realized this kind of peaceful time was what I had been wanting.”
“Since losing my wife, eating alone had been lonely, so I used the service. The person who came cooked with me, and it had been a long time since I sat across from someone for a meal. I'm grateful for the attentive service.”
“Honestly, I couldn't picture it before using the service, but the actual experience was more natural than I imagined. The fact that they thoroughly listened to my wishes during the pre-meeting gave me a sense of security.”
