Promote information dissemination in "Easy Japanese"
Yokohama City has established the "Multilingual Public Relations Guidelines", and when disseminating information to foreigners, foreign languages such as English, Chinese (Simplified), Hangul, and "Easy Japanese" are used.
Benefits of disseminating information in "Easy Japanese"
More than 110,000 foreigners from more than 170 countries and regions live in Yokohama.
It is considered effective to disseminate information in "easy Japanese" for foreigners whose native language is other than the foreign language specified in the "Multilingual Public Relations Guidelines".
I created a "pointing sheet"
We made "pointing sheet" to use in window guidance of ward office. There are general information desks and Family Registry Division.
It is described in "Easy Japanese", multilingual (English, Chinese (Simplified), Hangul), illustrations.
For ward general information window
When foreigners come to the ward office, it is intended to make it easier for staff to communicate the requirements at the general information desk, and the contents of the ward office work are described. In April 2024, it was created as part of the "Easy Japanese" cooperation effort with Yokohama FC.
