bridge language and cultural barriers, and foster team unity
companies across Japan and Southeast Asia use tonari to overcome language and cultural barriers, and improve hiring and retention abroad. at Ogishi, natural eye contact and body language are making complex communication easier, while mutual interest and trust are strengthened through casual daily interactions.
build a global business while reducing travel
startups and businesses are using portals to expand globally, access new markets and partners, and reduce business travel and emissions. Normal Lab, a climate-tech startup in Hawaii, uses tonari to access a bigger market of investors and customers in California, while also keeping tight connections with suppliers in Japan.
increase empathy in remote health and elderly care
in health and elderly care, tonari can support emotional connection for long-distance families, improve training for nurses and staff, and expand access to specialists in remote areas.
form global communities and spark collaboration
incubators, co-working spaces, and venture funds are using tonari to create new ecosystems to connect global startups, corporates, and investors — creating new opportunities for international commerce and business development. Leave a Nest, Center of Garage and UntroD are already pioneering this model across Japan, Singapore, and Malaysia.
work side-by-side and keep projects on track
large businesses are using tonari to connect leaders and teams on the ground. at JR East, being able to connect face-to-face every day increases the speed of decision-making, enables team members to share excitement and energy, and increases the frequency and quality of communication and feedback.
bring remote teachers and students together into one classroom
tonari isn’t just for facilitating better student-teacher interactions, it also provides a meaningful way to create relationships across students of different levels and backgrounds. at the Tokyo University of Science campuses in Tokyo and Hokkaido, remote first-years are getting to know their seniors and collaborate on projects through tonari.
speed up collaboration with more creative and nuanced sharing
game studios and development teams use tonari to increase the speed and quality of prototyping, feedback, and iteration — especially when more nuanced ideas can be better conveyed with higher fidelity and natural body language. internationally acclaimed studio PlatinumGames uses tonari daily between designers and developers in Osaka and Tokyo.

humans are built to be together.
yet we live in a world of long-distance relationships, mobile phone addictions, and terrible video calls.
will we slowly shrink into the void, and be replaced by AI? or will we evolve?
over many millennia, we grew from mere packs and tribes into a global civilization, because we possess an ability beyond all other beings: our capacity for connection. empathy. trust. teamwork.
we make families. we form teams and communities. we tell stories that build entire societies.
connection is the crux of humanity. it is our ability to create the future, together.
tonari is the evolution of communications. a means for genuine and emotional human connection. a platform for a more empathetic global society, to achieve our greatest aspirations and overcome our shared challenges.
