There are countless websites that provide general
information about Japan. In <Japan-related information>,
we select only one site we think most comprehensive from each
category. There are a number of good sites on non-Japanese people's daily life in Japan. However, they are often dispersed into many different websites and hard to reach quickly. We will search these sites and add them to <Life in Japan> to make it a good database on gaijin life in Japan. Please recommend your favorite sites to Link Keeper Michiko |
