The Japan Times

This website is just a simple link to the Japan Times. It isn’t a fantastic newspaper but the website is pretty good and it gives beginning-advanced level Japanese students a chance to check out what is going on in Japan. It is in English and therefore applicable to all levels. Another newspaper site to check out (for more advanced levels) is the Asahi Shinbun.
