Best 1 : Lost in Translation
Enjoy deciphering Engrish —a charming blend of English and Japanese that leads to amusing signage and unexpected phrases. It's all part of the fun! However, it's also intimidating when considering some risks of miscommunications and troubles during your Japan trip. It surely will be helpful to have resources or assistance that can rescue you from all the possible risks.
Examples of miscommunications and troubles we can fix:
・Communicating with restaurants about your allergies in advance
・Communicating with businesses that have billed you more than the original estimate to figure about the details (i.g. hotels, moving companies, and pet sitters)
