Hiragana Times (ひらがなタイムズ) is a magazine published in Japan; its audience is foreigners residing in Japan. The Hiragana Times is unique in that all the articles are written in both English and Japanese, with no bias between the languages. It has been published monthly in English and Japanese since 1986.^[1]^[2]

Background and profile[edit]

The name of Hiragana Times was inspired by the fact that all kanji in the magazine have hiragana translations adjacent to it. This is known as furigana, and it allows more novice readers to comprehend the articles in both languages.

The magazine is published monthly and contains articles of cultural importance to its readers, focusing on Japanese language and culture with bilingual content in Japanese and English.
