Interpretation Service
Currently there are many foreign people living in Japan to study or work. However their living conditions are not easy. The main reasons are the language barrier and difference in customs as well as prejudice. When an interpreter is requested from a client, the person in charge of dispatching interpreters will confirm the details of the request and after adjusting interpreter schedules, send an interpreter of the required language to the location in need.
