LINKS: News from Japan
I read many of these news sites quite a bit just before going so that I have a sense of the current socio, economic and political climate. I also find them a comfort when I am missing Japan or have just returned from Japan and am in the throes of reverse culture shock.
The Japan Times Online
A great website with news concerning all aspects of life in Japan.
News on Japan
Another great feed of news of what’s happening in Japan, sorted by categories such as Business, Politics, Society, Entertainment and so on. The story briefs will take you to the full article, wherever it may reside.
Japan Today
…featuring all the latest news on Japan and the world, including national, political, entertainment, business, technology and sports news. Japan Today publishes original content, including interviews with celebrities and business executives, and translations of pop culture articles from popular Japanese magazines and newspapers.
Just what the website says, and very informative indeed.
Raw Japan
Reuters — colour me surprised!
CNN’s Tokyo Coverage
Not a bad overview, actually.
