Welcome to Voice Japan.
This is one of the few places where we use written text — and that’s because we’d like to take a step back and explain what this project is all about.
Voice Japan is a voice-first encyclopedia — created to help travelers understand Japan quickly, clearly, and with curiosity.
Each page features one photo and a short voice explanation in English. You don’t need to read — just tap, listen, and discover.
Wherever you see the 🎧 icon with the words Voice Japan, that’s your cue to play the voice. It’s our little logo — and your invitation to explore, hands-free.
We focus on the things travelers care about most: Japanese food, getting around, cultural customs, and everyday things you’ll likely encounter — but might not fully understand.
Voice explanations are short, friendly, and beginner-friendly — even if you know little about Japan. And if you're curious to learn more, some pages also offer an extended version with deeper context and storytelling.
We aim to make Japanese culture more accessible — without oversimplifying. Everything is explained with care, and always with respect.
In addition to voice explanations, many pages include helpful links — to trustworthy English-language sites like transit info, airport access, or cultural guides.
These links are selected to support your journey — not ours.
Voice Japan is ad-free and non-commercial. While some external sites may contain ads or promotions, our selections are based purely on helpfulness.
This combination of voice and link makes Voice Japan flexible — perfect for quick learning on the go, or deeper exploration when you have time.
Just tap a link — or search a keyword like ramen or unagi.
Each page guides you with a short voice — usually under a minute. You can listen while walking, waiting for a train, or enjoying a meal.
Some sections are still taking shape — but new voices and helpful content are added weekly.
Voice Japan is made for travelers — but it’s also useful for teachers, students, restaurants, and cultural groups.
Feel free to link to any page — whether it’s about food, transportation, or Japanese traditions. We’d love to see Voice Japan shared on your site, blog, or social media.
Voice Japan is still young — and growing fast.
We’re adding new topics, new voices, and new ways to explore Japan all the time.
Whether you’re planning a trip or simply curious, we hope Voice Japan helps make your experience smoother, more memorable — and easier to enjoy.
