JapaNEO is an activity that creates understanding and trust between foreigners working in Japan and the Japanese people who accept them.
It's not just about working or living, it's about creating relationships that make you feel like "I want to be here."
To arrange relationships that allow us to overcome differences in culture, values, and expression.
That is JapaNEO's mission.
I have lived abroad as a Japanese person and have had the opportunity to look at Japan from the outside.
What I have noticed is that there are many people who "want to communicate but can't communicate.
" I have seen that the "difference in perception"
that cannot be solved by systems or words is troubling the field.
That's why I started working not just on translation but on building "relationships of resonance."
The name is JapaNEO, which means "a new way of connecting with Japan. "
Towards a place where foreigners can have hope to live, not just a place to work
Towards a society where accepting companies welcome people not as "partners who protect the system" but as "colleagues who can work together in the same workplace"
A place where you can develop the ability to "listen to others' voices" beyond language and culture
I am not a "language translator."
JapaNEO aims to be a company that "improves relationships between people. " To achieve this, we need an understanding of systems, an understanding of emotions, and cultural resonance.
That's why I use the word "arrangement." It's not just about conveying meaning. It's about translating the atmosphere, placing trust, and reweaving relationships.
This activity is for the following people:
Japanese companies and organizations accepting foreigners for the first time
Those in the field who are struggling with communication due to cultural differences
Foreigners working in Japan who feel they have a barrier in their workplace or life
Those who feel that "interpretation" is lacking in something
Anyone who believes in a harmonious and resonant future
I am a syntax expert who works between words, between cultures, between institutions and reality .
We listen carefully to each person's concerns and discomfort,
We will continue to expand the number of places that people feel are "good to have."
JapaNEO is still a small operation.
However, I believe that small conversations can improve society.
So, to you who came across this page today,
I would be happy if we could share a moment of "connecting something", even if just a little, in the future.
After returning to Japan from the U.S., I encountered unexpected resistance while submitting a simple residency form.
What should have been a straightforward process became a confrontation with outdated systems and a culture of rigid formality—where documents mattered more than people.
This small event exposed a larger issue: how a society built on precedent can quietly push away those it claims to welcome.
