Through our in-house multilingual creative project “JAPAN KURU”, we have started distributing “#seeyousoonjapan” video with a message “Let’s meet again in Japan!” While many people are refraining from going out due to the spread of new coronavirus infection, we will continue to transmit to the world the wonderful and attractive contents that are everywhere in Japan.
“JAPAN KURU” has produced and delivered attractive Japanese content in multiple languages.
We started with the desire to support Japan by sending a video to the world with a positive message of “Let’s meet again in Japan” created in collaboration with multinational creators in Japan.
By continuing to send messages to many foreigners living in Japan today and to “Royal customers visiting Japan” all over the world, we will capture the inbound demand that will surely recover after the end of the new coronavirus and revitalize Japan We would like to connect.
The project, which was launched in September 2012, focuses on the production and dissemination of information content for foreign visitors to Japan.
Under the concept of “Let’s Share Our Japanese Stories,” a team of creators of foreign nationality operates and produces original content from a “foreigner’s perspective” through domestic travel experience. A variety of multilingual (7 languages: English, Simplified Chinese, Traditional Chinese, Korean, Thai, Vietnamese, French) as original contents from a foreigner’s perspective, which experienced Japan’s charm all over Japan. We are transmitting to the whole world through device channels.
