Yoi Tabi and MultiLipi case study cover showing growth by website translation

At a Glance

よい旅 (Yoi Tabi News) is a leading online publication dedicated to uncovering Japan’s local travel stories and cultural experiences. In May 2025, they partnered with MultiLipi to bring their content to the world. Within weeks, they transformed their SEO reach and multilingual presence, increasing international page views by over 350% and engaging readers in 8 new languages.

  • Platform: Wordpress Website
  • Languages launched: English, German, Traditional Chinese, Korean, French, Thai, Spanish
  • Implementation time: Under 8 - 10  days
  • Monthly page views before MultiLipi: ~200,000
  • Monthly page views after MultiLipi: 700,000+
  • Translation volume: 794,342 requests processed

The Challenge

Before adopting MultiLipi, Yoi Tabi published exclusively in Japanese. This limited their visibility on Google in other countries, and even well-crafted content failed to reach travelers searching in English, Chinese, or European languages. Manual translation wasn’t scalable: it was slow, expensive, and required constant coordination between editors and freelancers.

The team also struggled with multilingual SEO. Even when they tried translating articles manually, they couldn’t implement hreflang tags or localized URLs effectively, which meant their content often didn’t rank at all outside Japan.

Why Yoi Tabi Chose MultiLipi

After comparing various solutions, Yoi Tabi selected MultiLipi for several reasons:

  • Fast, guided implementation: No specialized developer resources required—MultiLipi’s onboarding team helped set everything up in under two days.
  • Seamless SEO automation: hreflang tags and SEO metadata were generated automatically, eliminating manual errors.
  • Translation quality controls: The built-in Glossary and Translation Memory allowed their editors to predefine travel terminology and ensure consistency.
  • Transparent pricing: MultiLipi’s clear, usage-based plans were more affordable than hiring full-time translators or paying per-word agency fees.
