JREF in Japanzine!

mad pierrot · Mar 2, 2006, 22:23

This months Japanzine did a section about Japan on the web. You'll all be happy to know Jref is mentioned on page 8, under "General."

Here's what Japanzine has to say about Jref:

Japan Reference
Sometimes you have to bust some weird moves if you're going to stay ahead of the pack. So it is with Japan Reference, once best known for its hella big directory of Japan-related websites, but now scoring extra brownie points for having a travel guide that puts even the JNTO's site to shame. In a word: fab.

What, no mention of the forums?

Congrats to Maciam, Thomas and everyone for getting it all together!

Thanks for the heads-up! Nothing escapes you, eh?

They just sent me an email today, we can even claim a banner for our website "to proclaim our achievement to the world".

Glad to hear you are getting so recognized. You deserve it for having, in my opinion, one of the best overall sites about Japan.

Wow, that's really neat! I knew there was I reason I keep coming back here!

I just love this place (Jref)

I think my fav part of Jref would be the picture gallery... some really candid shots...

All-in-all, congrats, Jref!
