About NHK WORLD-JAPAN

NHK WORLD-JAPAN is the international service of NHK, Japan's public broadcaster, based in Tokyo. Its English-language television channel broadcasts around the clock to audiences worldwide, offering hourly news bulletins on Japan and Asia, business and weather updates, and a wide range of programmes on Japanese culture, food, travel, science, technology and lifestyle.

The service was known simply as NHK World until it adopted its current name in 2018. Unlike NHK's domestic channels, it is distributed free on satellite, cable and streaming platforms in many countries. Viewers can watch the channel live on the official NHK WORLD-JAPAN website and apps, which also provide on-demand programmes, and NHK runs a live news stream on its official YouTube channel.
