Subscribe now to The Asahi Shimbun AJW and don’t miss out!

The Asahi Shimbun AJW is becoming a paid subscription site from November 21. We invite you to sign up for a subscription under our commemorative price campaign. Applications will take effect from November 21.

The deadline for our “early-bird” special discount program has passed, but don’t worry, you still can take advantage of our low-price offer to become a digital subscriber to The Asahi Shimbun AJW, the new English-language digital version of The Asahi Shimbun, Japan’s leading daily newspaper.

Our website offers extensive coverage on Japan and East Asia, especially China and the Korean Peninsula, to keep readers informed of new developments as they happen. Subscribe now and stay informed. From November 21, nonsubscribers will be allowed to access only five full articles for free per month.

Our other English website at http://www.asahi.com/english/ no longer offers the full content of The Asahi Shimbun AJW. To stay on top of events, subscribe today to The Asahi Shimbun AJW.
