Questions & answers

Is this Travel news free? Do I need an account?

Yominews is free to read, and you do not need an account. After a story or two, the page suggests a free Yomimaru account, which you can close to keep reading. The account is free too, and saves words for review.

What JLPT levels does the Travel section cover?

Stories are written at JLPT N4, N3 and N1. Open any travel article and switch levels with the tabs at the top: the facts stay the same, only the Japanese adapts.

How often is new Travel content published?

A story is published when there is news worth reading, several a week rather than on a fixed daily quota. The newest travel stories appear at the top; older ones move down the feed.
