THIS REFERENCE LIST IS NO LONGER BEING UPDATED

Hello Net friends. Thank you for using this reference page for the last 15 years. The amount of information out there on Japan is now far beyond what any reference page can keep track of! Links are current as of January 2011, some have been updated later than that.







This page lists English-language websites that provide substantive non-commercial information about specific aspects of Japanese culture and society. We only post pages that are particularly informed and engaging, with a few intriguing or unusual topics thrown in for seasoning.
