A Miscellaneous List of Japan Related Websites in English
This list consists (will consist) of websites we have stumbled upon. They may be good, bad, current, horribly outdated. They do not pay us to be listed. We make no effort to list every possible site and generally do not lists sites that are otherwise mentioned on our website. We will add sites in much the same way as I keep papers on my desk ... totally disorganized. It is likely that most sites are the product, largely or completely, of some gaijin current or former resident of Japan, but that is only a guess and will surely not be totally accurate. You are welcomed to submit your site or suggest some other but don't expect that we will soon or surely list it.
