We have rebranded!
We have rebranded!
On July 1, 2025, we launched Japan Wire by Kyodo News, rebranding our English-language business-to-consumer online site previously called Kyodo News Plus.
As is the case for Kyodo News Plus, Japan Wire will carry select articles that Kyodo, an international news agency based in Tokyo, runs from an impartial and independent perspective.
Additionally, we will enrich our English-language content with an increased use of photos, videos and other visual materials so as to spark the curiosity of readers around the world.
We are also planning to introduce a system in the near future for a more interactive experience for site visitors.
We express our deep gratitude to all those who have enjoyed Kyodo News Plus since its inception in 2017.
We will do our best to meet your expectations for the new content that Kyodo and our media partners at home and abroad will launch through Japan Wire.
Toshimitsu Sawai
President, Kyodo News
