为解决游客语言障碍日本推出奇葩便民标志

Shimomukai says they wanted to do something simple but fun to attract people's interest. The area is less of a draw for foreigners than tourist hubs like Tokyo and Kyoto, and communication troubles have made some locals reluctant to reach out to visitors. "Until recently some owners believed their profits from serving only locals were sufficient, and due to the language barrier, they may have left foreign visitors with a feeling that they were not welcome," he says.

Shimomukai表示，他们想要做一些简单而有趣的事情来吸引人们的兴趣。与东京和京都等热门旅游城市相比，这里对外国人的吸引力较弱，而当地人因为一些沟通问题不愿意与游客接触。“现在还有些商家认为，他们只服务当地游客就能赚到足够的利润，而由于语言障碍问题，他们可能让外国游客感到备受冷落。”

Slightly more hi-tech approaches to dealing with communication problems have been rolled out elsewhere in Japan, as the number of foreign visitors grows. Last year, a new app was trialled that translates rail announcements into a visitor's own language, and some regions offer 24-hour multilingual hotlines for advice on everything from finding a doctor to sending luggage home.
