What we cover

We track these beats: government decisions that affect trade and foreign policy; company news from Tokyo stock movers and startup funding rounds; technology trends like robotics, semiconductors, and AI integration; cultural moments from film and music to festivals; and travel updates including visa rules, safety notices, and seasonal events.

How stories are chosen: We prioritise items with measurable impact: policy changes that alter trade flows, corporate deals that shift markets, tech launches with export potential, and weather or safety alerts that affect travelers. Each article links to primary sources or official statements so you can check facts quickly. We aim for fast updates and short analysis pieces that explain what a development means for you.

Business and economy notes: If you follow markets, look for short briefings about Bank of Japan moves, major corporate earnings, and supply chain shifts. We explain who gains, who loses, and which sectors to watch. For entrepreneurs, we flag funding rounds, regulation shifts, and startup hubs beyond Tokyo, like Fukuoka and Osaka.

Technology and innovation: Japan still leads in robotics, sensors, and precision manufacturing. Our tech pieces focus on product launches, partnerships between universities and firms, and export controls. We also cover consumer tech trends that affect daily life, smart home devices, public transit apps, and EV adoption.

Culture and lifestyle: From film festivals in Tokyo to local food trends, culture stories highlight what locals and visitors are talking about. We publish concise guides on etiquette, seasonal events like cherry blossoms and fireworks, and where to find lesser-known experiences off the tourist trail.

Sports and entertainment: Whether it’s a major football match, a baseball playoff, or a music release, we sum up key moments and what they mean for teams and fans. Expect quick recaps, standout player notes, and links to match highlights when available.

Travel alerts and safety: We post timely updates on travel rules, natural hazard warnings, and transport disruptions. If a storm, earthquake, or coastal warning is issued, our short alerts tell you which regions to avoid, which services are affected, and how to get official guidance.
