Q cafe, an art and tech fusion space opening Dec 18
to implement Multi-lingual group chat

Tokyo, Japan – Kotozna, Inc., announces the implementation of Kotozna Group Chat, a multi-lingual real-time translation service, to Q cafe, a venue slated to open on December 18th that is managed by LS Corporation.
Kotozna Group Chat will allow foreign visitors to Q cafe to communicate with anyone in their own language.

Q cafe is located on the 1st floor of Q stay and lounge, a hotel commencing it’s soft opening on December 28. The hotel’s ambience takes inspiration from Japanese culture and design and aims to attract visitors from overseas.
Q cafe will provide anyone visiting, including hotel guests, to chat with multiple people in any language via real-time translation services. Being able to “speak” smoothly with people of different nationalities allows for robust dialogues amongst people there, and Kotozna, Inc. hopes Q cafe becomes an international hub where people connect with each other beyond just sharing tourist information.

Even with the recent increase in visitors from overseas, Japan has been struggling with communication issues in languages other than Japanese, which has inhibited a closer bond between Japanese and foreign visitors.
This project brings excitement by creating opportunities that will allow people to communicate easily, through contents derived by art and cutting edge technology. By providing opportunities for people to communicate in their own native language, we plan to achieve highly sophisticated hospitality and fulfillment to our visitors.
