Japanese Newspaper Asahi Shimbun is offering an English news site covering its daily as well as weekly news 
and those of Herald Tribune. All you have to do to go to its Japanese homepage is click "JAPANESE" on top.

To view Japanese sites on the Internet, Yahoo! Japan gives an instruction on its site, 
explaining that "Yahoo!Japan is a site much like Yahoo! but tailor-made for Japanese users.  
You need to be able to view Japanese characters through your Web browser 
in order to properly view Yahoo! Japan."

If you are not satisfied with just browsing, Microsoft now offers Global IME
on its site "Download details: Office XP Tool: Global IME (Japanese)", saying:
"Use the Microsoft Global Input Method Editor for Office XP (Japanese) to input Japanese text
in your documents, worksheets, presentations, mail messages, publications, and Web pages."

 
If you have grown accustomed to the Japanese language but still do not know
how to write Japanese on the computer, here is the procedure.  It also shows
how to register the word like konnichiwa in IME to write it by typing an abbreviation.   

Here is an extensive list of sources for Japanese language learning
