Ask Jaybot ホワイエ

ホワイエ (howaie) is a loanword that comes from French "foyer", which means "hearth" or "fireplace". In architecture, the term refers to a central gathering space in a building, often near the entrance, where people can socialize and relax. The term was introduced to Japan during the Meiji era (1868-1912) as part of the country's modernization efforts and has since been used in various contexts, including theaters, hotels, and public buildings. Today, it is commonly used in Japanese to refer to a lounge or lobby area in a building.
