What is "Easy Japanese"?

It is Japanese that has been simplified so that the content can be conveyed as simply and easily as possible to foreigners.
Today, many foreigners from various countries are living in Japan.In the past, in XNUMX, the Great Hanshin-Awaji Earthquake caused many foreigners to suffer because they were not able to properly convey information in Japanese and could not understand it.

It is said that more damage could have been prevented if they had responded in easy-to-understand Japanese at that time.
Currently, about 44% of the foreign residents speak English, and 62.6% speak Japanese.8% of the foreigners living in Tokyo are from non-English speaking Asian countries.
