Farewell to the Old Simple Gaijin Website — And Hello to a New Beginning!

After years of serving Japanese language learners, the original Simple Gaijin website is officially entering a new chapter!

Since founding Simple Gaijin in Japan in 2015, we've come a long way. Now that we've returned to Japan, we're excited to introduce a completely redesigned website featuring updated Japanese lessons, expanded services, and new learning resources.
 

Our new website launches November 1, 2026!
 

But this isn't goodbye to everything here!
 

The original Simple Gaijin blog will remain available as an archive, preserving years of articles, experiences, and insights into Japanese language and culture. You're welcome to continue exploring its content.
 

For current lesson information, pricing, inquiries, and future updates, please visit our new home: www.simplegaijin.com
 

Thank you to everyone who has supported Simple Gaijin throughout the years. The old website helped us get to where we are today, and we're excited to show you what's coming next.
 

Same mission. New website. A new chapter from Japan.
