English Disaster Information on Mobiles in Fukuoka
I’ve been told that Fukuoka is the best city to live in Japan. I can’t judge, since I’ve only spent one night there, but I do like this recent move by Fukuoka city government:
Fukuoka Prefecture will start providing disaster information in English to residents with foreign nationalities via cell phone emails while informing their families abroad of their safety also through email, prefectural government officials said Thursday (from Japan Today).
The amount of English mobile content in Japan is very, very limited. I only know of Vodafone Live being provided in English, and even then, it’s not all the links and categories. If you want to download ringtones, games or pictures, you’ll need Japanese knowledge. It’s very frustrating.
Anyone out there know of other English mobile content services in Japan? Leave a comment!
