Business Overview

~ Dialogue in Quiet ~ Beyond the language barrier, people become more free.
Dialogue in Silence is an entertainment that transcends language barriers in a world without sound.
The experience will be guided by a deaf attendant, a master of non-voice interaction. Participants wore sound-blocking headsets. In a world of silence, you will experience the freedom of concentration, observation, expression, and freedom, and discover body language and other ways to communicate with each other without sound or voice. Even if you speak a different language, you'll be able to interact more than you'd expect.
Held in Germany in 1998, it has since been held in France, Israel, Mexico, Turkey, and China, attracting more than 1 million people worldwide. It will be held in Japan for the first time in the summer of 2017! With the 2020 Tokyo Olympics and Paralympics coming up, it will be an experience that will foster the "spirit of hospitality" and enhance hospitality.
The 20 days that will have a quiet impact on Japan will begin.
