Netflix Japan vs Hulu Japan: Which one is the best?

December 24, 2019December 4, 2015

It’s Netflix Japan vs Hulu Japan!

I’ve been using online video services in Japan since 2014. With the recent launch of Netflix Japan, I wanted to compare the two services and note the differences as well as the pros/cons. Which one should you consider using? (If you want to pay for a streaming service in Japan, that is)

2019 Update: Hulu Japan and Netflix Japan have changed drastically over the years. Long story short, Netflix is the better option with more content than Hulu Japan. Amazon Prime now has HBO content which is another blow to Hulu.

Shin Nihongo 500 Mon Series Review (新にほんご５００問)

February 15, 2020August 12, 2015

Here’s my Shin Nihongo 500 Mon series review. Another helpful series for increasing your Japanese knowledge!

The books are designed so that you only have to work a few pages each day, which is perfect for those that are at work or somewhere with not a lot of free time.
