Service Information
The Asahi Shimbun AJW (Asia and Japan Watch) is the English-language website of The Asahi Shimbun, Japan's leading daily newspaper. We invite you to sign up for a subscription under our commemorative price campaign.
This site offers extensive coverage on Japan as well as East Asian news, especially what's happening in China and on the Korean Peninsula, to help readers grasp the implications of new developments as they happen.
Our other English website at http://www.asahi.com/english/ continues to be accessible, but it no longer offers the full content of The Asahi Shimbun AJW. To read all the news, subscribe today to the new AJW website at http://ajw.asahi.com/.
