About This Site
JPANNAI is a multilingual directory of chain stores in Japan, designed for inbound visitors and Japan-based users. Our goal is to help travelers find familiar amenities — cafés, fast-food restaurants, convenience stores, and drugstores — in their own language, with accurate location, hours, and nearest-station information.
Why We Built It
"Less time staring at signs you can't read; more time enjoying the things you came for." That's the motivation behind this site. Many visitors to Japan see store brand names for the first time, and a comprehensive multilingual directory has been largely missing. JPANNAI aims to fill that gap.
