About

Daily Japanese Stories is a reading practice project for beginner Japanese learners working toward the JLPT N5 level. Each day, it offers a short Japanese story with furigana and a clear English translation, designed to support steady, stress-free reading practice.

Each story is meant to be read in just a few minutes, making Japanese practice easy to fit into everyday life.

The stories are automatically generated by our AI team and follow a consistent format and controlled vocabulary scope based on beginner-level materials. They are not reviewed or edited by native Japanese speakers, so some expressions may sound slightly unnatural or simplified. For this reason, the stories should be used as supplementary reading practice, not as a primary or authoritative teaching resource. The goal is not speed or memorization, but consistency: regular reading of short texts to gradually build recognition of kana and kanji, vocabulary, and basic grammar, and to improve overall reading comfort.

You can read the newest story on the home page or explore past stories in the archive.

We also publish each story daily on X, Instagram, and Discord.
