Hiragana Times - The magazine that introduces the real Japan to the world:
The Hiragana Times has been published since 1986 and has readers in more than 90 countries. Hiragana Times introduces the real Japan to foreigners by looking at Japan as an attractive, unique town in the global village.
This magazine includes information about living and traveling in Japan as well as international communication. Inside Hiragana Times, the international world becomes reality, and one can experience the cultural frontier between Japan and the rest of the world.
Read fascinating interview articles, for example "People Active on teh International Stage”, "International Business", "The International Couple Scene," and "Speak Out!". Hiragana Times features articles that introduce Japan, including "Festivals of Japan", "Hot Spots", "Japanese Culture Now", "Japanese History Makers" and "Close-Up Japan". Hiragana Times also features information pages such as "Visa Q&A". In these pages, a wide variety of interesting information on the latest trends, events, books and new products is available.
Hiragana Times can be read without a dictionary
The spread of internationalization across the world is creating an increasing need to become bilingual. To help you meet this need, Hiragana Times is published in both Japanese and English, and furigana are placed above each kanji to make Japanese study even easier. Hiragana Times is designed so that Japanese and non-Japanese can read the same content.
An outstanding feature of Hiragana Times is that foreigners can learn Japanese and Japanese can learn English without having to check difficult text with a dictionary, since each Japanese paragraph is followed by its English translation. Both the Japanese and English texts are written at the native level, which means that your reading ability will be the same as a native if you completely understand the text.
Hiragana Times is truly a global magazine for the global age, in which you can learn a language while gaining information about Japan. This unique concept was recognized at the NTT magazine contest where Hiragana Times was awarded the Grand Prize on two separate occasions.
