    My go-to for this is the Niigata Nippo: https://www.niigata-nippo.co.jp/ It is in Japanese, though, but I find I can muddle my way through or use Google Translate for parts. I'm not aware of any English-language sources for Niigata Prefecture news, but I wonder if that comes down to demand, as we're not one of the higher international resident prefectures.

    @genkidesu I discovered that the Niigata Nippo is one of the 47 News group. Chiba Nippo is one in the group, too, but to read a whole article, you have to subscribe. Today, I'm getting an error message for Chiba outlet. I wonder if it's simply down or gone... NHK's website has a tab, 地域発 chiiki hatsu meaning originitating in the region and it lists news from all prefectures. I guess that's where I'm getting my info for now.

    @TonetoEdo Just looked up the NHK prefectural news site you mentioned, and I like how it's a laid out! Easy to understand and I like that it's a nationwide breakdown, so I can pick any region to see what's happening in the area.

Dog ate my page responses?

Hi. I just wrote a post and when I went to publish it I got an error message. Then I went to report it on the form page that comes up when you click on report error and I got a "dog ate my page" response. Anyone else experiencing technical problems with the site right now? The photo is just for visibility!

Quality Japan content Tiktok?

I have succumbed to Tiktok...Forgive me. When I first started engaging with Tiktok Lite, a lot of Japanese content was pushed to me by the algorythm. Some good, some junk. My favorite right now is こねこフィルム/ CONECO FILM, a producer of shorts that are absurd, funny, and touching. Have you found some excpeptional Japanese content on Tiktok? Especially content that provides you with Japanese listening comprehension, cultural insights, or off-the-beaten-path travel destinations?
