MATCHA Easy Japanese rewrites the site’s travel and culture articles into N4-level easy Japanese. Kanji have furigana. Harder words get short English glosses. The reading site is free.

## Who it fits

It fits learners who can already finish [NHK News Web Easy](https://studyjapanese101.com/resources/nhk-news-web-easy) and want a page about food, trains, or manners instead of news.

## Limits

It is extra reading, not a course. Topics follow tourism. Keep one daily source.
