Trade show & exhibition interpreting
Exhibition interpreters in Japan for trade shows, booth meetings and tours.
Interpreters at events across Japan for exhibitors, visiting buyers, industry delegations and conference teams. Before the show opens, we go over your products, who you want to talk to, how leads are handled, venue rules, hours and handovers.

How we choose interpreters
Before, during and after
Briefing before the show
We confirm your products, priority visitors, key messages, claims to avoid, who owns the leads, breaks, dress code and venue access.
Fits your booth
We agree where the interpreter stands and when they hand over, so they support your sales and technical team rather than replace them.
Realistic hours
Long show days need breaks and sometimes shifts. Travel, passes, early access and overtime are agreed before you confirm.
Who checks the job, and how we choose
More than a greeter
We match the interpreter to your products and visitors, including technical or medical background where needed.
Several interpreters, one contact
For several booths, languages or days, EMYSTI can arrange interpreters under one brief, one quote and one contact.
Interpreters pass on information you have approved and do not make their own claims about products, regulations, performance or contracts. Exhibitors remain responsible for venue rules, visitor consent and commercial commitments.

FAQ
Questions about this service
Can the interpreter also act as our salesperson?+
The interpreter can help with booth conversations and approved product explanations, but your team stays responsible for claims, prices, lead decisions, contracts and commercial promises.
Can we book several interpreters for one event?+
Yes. Send us the dates, hours, languages, booths and topics. We will propose who goes where and what each person covers.
Are exhibitor passes and travel included?+
Not automatically. Passes, venue registration, transport, accommodation and out-of-hours access are confirmed and listed separately if needed.
Can the interpreter come to dinners after the show?+
Yes, if it is in the agreed schedule. Longer hours, transport and late finishes may change the quote.

After the first hour, time is charged in 15-minute steps.
An EMYSTI professional interpreter costs ¥12,000 per hour (about ¥48,000 for a 4-hour half day, ¥96,000 for an 8-hour full day). Christine Lee costs ¥13,500 per hour (about ¥54,000 for a half day, ¥108,000 for a full day). Both rates include tax. The minimum is 1 hour, then 15-minute steps. Travel, specialist preparation and out-of-hours work are added to the quote if needed.
Travel, accommodation, rush jobs, nights and weekends, or preparing materials are listed in the quote if needed.
Formal simultaneous interpreting is not charged at the single-interpreter hourly rate. It needs a separate quote, because we first have to plan the interpreter team, booth or portable equipment, audio, venue, preparation time and shifts.
