Hello, it's Jane again after a long time!

Japanese culture is popular overseas, and Japan is certainly a famous tourist destination in the world. Have you ever wondered, when you're abroad, where to go, what to eat, what events are happening, and how to get information about what is trending in Japan? Of course, including people living in Japan, there are not many foreigners who speak Japanese. Popular news, channels, and magazines in Japan may not be seen by foreigners. This time, I will introduce popular English-language media focused on Japan. These are also sources I have personally used to get information about traveling and living in Japan.


Travel

When traveling abroad, people may think of TripAdvisor as a source of reviews and information. However, in Japan there are countless reliable English-language travel sources. Here are some popular websites:

Japan-guide.com 

It provides excellent information on transportation and itinerary ideas. It also has sightseeing spot rankings by prefecture.  



Macha-jp.com 

A useful guide for travel and a source of Japanese news. It is available in 10 languages, not just English.



Tokyocheapo.com 

A detailed guide to Tokyo, but there are endless recommended articles for foreigners living in and traveling in Japan. And it also has a YouTube channel.



YouTube

When I was in Vietnam, one of the things I enjoyed was watching YouTube videos about life and travel in Japan. Many of the YouTubers I followed at the time are not as active as they used to be, but new YouTubers have appeared and they include great content. 

Abroad in Japan

With 2.5 million followers, this is the first YouTube channel I followed. This channel shares his experiences as a foreigner living in Japan.



Paolo from Tokyo 

In addition to sharing popular restaurants, it also has a series about how Japanese people go about their daily lives. If you watch this channel, you may be surprised by what foreigners want to know about Japan.



 Hachiko District

 Hachiko District, based in Tokyo, specializes in premium Japanese travel content. It mainly operates on Facebook, but if you don't use Facebook, you can always watch Hachiko District's videos on its YouTube channel.  



Fashion

Tokyo Fashion 

It mainly focuses on street fashion and Harajuku street snaps. It has a YouTube channel, and its Instagram and Facebook fan pages were popular a few years ago. 


ApparelX News 

Homepage: https://apparelx-news.com/ 

Did you know that ApparelX has a media site that introduces Japanese fashion and materials to the industry? At the same time as ApparelX Global launched, an English version of ApparelX News also started. 




What do you all think? Thank you for reading to the end! We would be very happy if you shared this post and supported us!
