Japan is introducing innovative technologies to overcome language barriers for tourists. Toppan, a Japanese printing company, has developed a transparent display that translates conversations in real time, allowing users to maintain eye contact and observe physical gestures. The system supports 15 languages, including English and Chinese, and will be available for sale in June.

Nosaka Tomoaki, a representative of Toppan, stated, "As the pandemic subsides, the number of people visiting Japan will increase. We want to help them overcome language barriers with our displays."

Another example is the collaboration between Japanese taxi-hailing app Go and Chinese companies, enabling Chinese tourists to request taxis using their native Chinese-language apps. Mobility Technologies, the operator of the Go app, is expanding its partnerships with South Korean and Southeast Asian companies and working on agreements with firms in other markets.
