The time has come for Japan to adopt a slower pace of life or what some Japanese politicians are calling a “gentle society”

This is an excellent idea that will help a lot of people and many inspire similar things in other cities and to include people with other disabilities. Hopefully in the long term this will help making this something common, so it will no longer be necessary to make special events or days to have it happening.

Good move, once I had a friend who did stutter and she really struggled but never gave up, went on and graduated to become a teacher for children with the similar conditions, I hope people will understand and join in helping stutterers gain the confidence to communicate.

Very sad to see the negative trolls out even for such an inspiring story as this. I guess they are only happy making others miserable...

This story really put a smile on my face. I really feel for those who stutter.

I especially like the name : ) "The project, named "Cafes Where Orders Take Time."

Japan loves to trumpet its own efforts to help super niche marginalized groups, as a feel-good measure, to paper over the fact they don't do a great job of tacking the needs of non-niche marginalized groups. But hey, if you have a stutter, you can order a coffee.
