  @TonetoEdo Just looked up the NHK prefectural news site you mentioned, and I like how it's a laid out! Easy to understand and I like that it's a nationwide breakdown, so I can pick any region to see what's happening in the area.

  My go-to for this is the Niigata Nippo: https://www.niigata-nippo.co.jp/ It is in Japanese, though, but I find I can muddle my way through or use Google Translate for parts. I'm not aware of any English-language sources for Niigata Prefecture news, but I wonder if that comes down to demand, as we're not one of the higher international resident prefectures.

  @genkidesu I discovered that the Niigata Nippo is one of the 47 News group. Chiba Nippo is one in the group, too, but to read a whole article, you have to subscribe. Today, I'm getting an error message for Chiba outlet. I wonder if it's simply down or gone... NHK's website has a tab, 地域発 chiiki hatsu meaning originitating in the region and it lists news from all prefectures. I guess that's where I'm getting my info for now.

  Yahoo used to have a great one, but they got rid of it during the pandemic. We have Teretama, which is okay, but not great. If there are other languages beside Japanese, I've yet to come across them!
