About Nihon Deep

Nihon Deep is a comprehensive guide to Japan written by someone who actually lives in Japan.

We believe accurate information about Japan should be available to everyone — in their own language. That's why we publish detailed guides on travel, food, anime and Japanese language in six languages (English, Arabic, Hindi, Portuguese, Indonesian and Japanese), with each version tailored to the cultural context of its readers.

What sets us apart

• First-hand information — we live in Japan and verify each fact ourselves.
• Official sources — visa, fee and price data come straight from Japanese government sites.
• Cultural context — every locale gets information relevant to its readers (halal info for Arabic, nikkei context for Portuguese, etc.).
• No fabrication — we never publish numbers without sources and never recommend places we haven't verified.

Coverage

• 🗾 Travel: Tokyo, Osaka, Kyoto, Mount Fuji — with cost, visa and transport details
• 🍜 Japanese food: recipes and where to eat (with halal alternatives where applicable)
• 🎌 Anime & manga: watch-order and beginner guides
• 📚 Japanese language: hiragana, katakana, practical phrases
• 💄 J-Beauty: skincare routines and drugstore products
