Tokyo authorities announced a long-awaited innovation that will greatly facilitate the stay of foreign tourists in the city: street the signs will be duplicated in English

The updating of the urban navigation system will take place as part of the planned program for doubling the tourist flow to Japan for the 2020 Olympics . According to ITAR-TASS, at present many signposts in the Three of Tokyo have an additional Latin script, however, due to the specifics of the Japanese language, such care does not save foreign guests from misunderstanding (it is unlikely that an average tourist will be able to guess the Library of the National Parliament under the signboard "Kokuritsu Kokkai Toshokan") . In addition, the translation will be labeled with the most common warnings, such as "smoking is prohibited" or "not allowed" .

Recall that last October an agreement on mutual simplification of procedures came into force between Russia and Japan Tourist visas
