Yaraku, Inc

At Yaraku, we believe translation should be simple, smart, and enjoyable. Our mission — “For Enjoyable Global Communication” — drives us to break down language barriers and help teams connect meaningfully across cultures. Based in Tokyo’s creative hub of Shibuya, Yaraku is a startup developing Yaraku Translate, a next-generation cloud-based CAT (Computer-Assisted Translation) tool. Formerly known as YarakuZen, our platform blends the speed of AI with the nuance of human insight, enabling fast, accurate, and intuitive translation at scale. With built-in support for multiple translation engines, real-time collaboration features, and intelligent learning from user edits, Yaraku Translate helps over global businesses streamline multilingual communication — securely and efficiently. But we're more than just a tech company. At Yaraku, we cultivate a diverse and inclusive workplace, where international team members from various backgrounds collaborate daily. Our company language is English, and with many non-Japanese members already on the team, newcomers — especially from abroad — find it easy to feel at home and contribute from day one. We value open communication, flexibility, and mutual respect over traditional hierarchies. Remote work is a core part of our culture, and innovation is something we practice together, not just talk about. We're passionate about building tools that connect people — and doing it in a way that reflects the kind of world we want to live in.
