About
Every sacred space, every family restaurant, every cultural landmark deserves to be understood by the world — in each visitor's own language, on their own time.
Radim Jaksik, Founder · Japan Explained
How it works
One of our team members visits your location in person, photographs every key point of interest, and takes time to understand your history, traditions and what makes your place worth explaining to the world.
Using everything we have learned, we write warm, accurate cultural explanations in Japanese, English, Chinese, Korean, Spanish, and French — each one reviewed for factual accuracy and cultural sensitivity before it goes live.
A small QR code is placed at your location. Any visitor with a smartphone can scan it and instantly read your story in their own language. No app. No download. No barrier.
