A focused newsletter on Japan's news, in English, for people living in Japan or who used to
Daily
Every day: government and central bank decisions that affect residents, the weather and safety warnings that matter, transport changes, and the economy in plain terms. Read from the Japanese press and official pages for people living in Japan, or who used to, who do not read Japanese fluently.
Not anime and manga release schedules with no news angle, not tourist-aimed listicles, not celebrity gossip, not stories requiring context only a lifelong resident already has.
Where the news comes from: The Japan Times, NHK World, News, Kyodo News, Japan Meteorological Agency, warnings, Nikkei Asia.
Nobody gets this one yet. It starts when you do.
