Learning about Japan

So, before moving to Japan I did a bit of trolling about the internet. How do you learn about a world I had no experience in? So here are the best solutions I came across:

Texan in Tokyo
They are a mixed culture couple (American and Japanese) and they address the contrasts between their home cultures. Sadly, they stopped posting new videos about a week ago, but they have over two years of regular vlogs, lots of blogs, and several books which are both informative and delightfully funny.

Rachel and Jun
They are also a  mixed culture couple. I particularly like their earlier videos because their later videos are clearly sponsored. Jun (the husband) often does his vlogs in Japanese while Rachel (the wife) produces in English. Both have bilingual subtitles.

Japanology Plus - Begin Japanology - Tradjapan
These are videos produced by Peter Barakan and the NHK (the BBC or PBS of Japan). If you are looking for a sheer quantity of good and accurate information then this is a phenomenal way to get it.

Gaijin Pot
I have found that they always has accurate inform which is usually posted by expats.

Japan Guide
This is a wonderful website for planning your tourism and sightseeing. This is created by the government and is becoming even more useful as they prepare for the upcoming Olympics.
