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. The stories are automatically generated using ChatGPT and follow a consistent format and controlled vocabulary scope, without native-speaker review or editing.

You can read the newest story on the home page or explore past stories in the archive. The goal is not speed or memorization, but consistency: using brief, everyday texts to gradually build vocabulary recognition, grammar awareness, and reading comfort.

We also publish each story daily on X.

The stories are meant to be read in a few minutes, making Japanese practice easy to fit into everyday life.
