“When the devastating earthquake hit Japan on March 11, 2011, I was on the 20th floor of a high-rise. Monitors started falling, and as I hid under a desk, I tried calling my mother but the phone lines were down. Not knowing what would happen next, this became the longest 15 minutes of my life,” says Bespoke’s CEO Akemi Tsunagawa. “From my personal experiences of that disaster, I wanted to create a service that can assist people in the middle of any emergency. I empathize with people’s fears and the need to receive immediate and accurate information wherever they are.”

As the year begins with a dangerous pandemic, Bebot helps to address the concerns of residents and anxious visitors. As Japan is preparing for the 2020 Olympics and Paralympics this summer, Bebot is at the forefront in providing Japanese hospitality and relevant emergency information to visitors from around the world through its multilingual and easy-access user interface.
