Excellent access to Japanese culture & News – NHK WORLD-JAPAN Review

I've visited Japan twice and always come home wanting more. Recently discovered the NHK World app for my iPad and for my AppleTV. From news shows (without any kind of typical western slant) you can keep up on newsworthy events from Japan, Asia, the USA and the rest of the world. Some of the news anchors/reporters don't have the typical western polish, but honestly, I find that very refreshing. They have many shows designed to inform you about Japanese culture with a heavy emphasis on travel. The iPad app also has access to basic Japanese language learning and lots of fun shows that will introduce you to Japanese culture.
