While English is commonly studied in school and many Japanese citizens will know at least a few English words, the majority will not be fluent in the language. That said, you are more likely to find English speakers in Tokyo than anywhere else in the country. For the 2020 Summer Games, you’re likely to find English signage in and around the venues. Roadtrips’ guests will have access to bilingual local hosts who can assist with any language issues. In addition, English-speaking staff can be found at all our Summer Games hotels.
