Useful Websites for Studying Japan
Erin's Challenge
Erin's Challenge is a brilliant and engaging website to help you in your own challenge studying Japanese.
There are 25 lessons all up, containing a simple skit, a more advanced skit, and various other features (vocabulary lists, explanations of grammar points, cultural videos and quizzes, etc.).
There is also something called Nihongo Quest, where you wander around in a sort of role play game, speaking to the NPC and learning Japanese along the way!
This website is a lot of fun, and I would really recommend it!

Youtube
Youtube is a great place to learn about Japan, and Japanese language! Some channels that I find to be very interesting are:
Sharla in Japan- Sharla is a Canadian living in Japan as a student. She posts interesting videos about her life in Japan.
JapanesePod101- A great channel containing many different Japanese language lessons for learners.
Rachel and Jun- Rachel is an American woman who fell in love with and married a Japanese man, Jun. They are a very sweet couple who post some very interesting videos about life in Japan. Please support them!!!
I have actually created a page on this website dedicated to using Youtube to learn about Japanese culture, language, and every day life, here: Youtube for Japanese

My Kikitori
My Kikitori is a website containing lessons to aid learners with their listening comprehension. It is a wonderful resource that allows users to listen to the dialogues at natural, or slow speed, and then complete quizzes to check your comprehension.
Lang-8
This is not a Japanese specific website. The point of this website is to write a blog entry in your language of study. Then, native speakers of that language can correct any mistakes that you made and explain their corrections. In turn, you can correct blog entries that are written in your native language. Please be supportive of your fellow language learners!!!
The video above this is a video I made about Lang-8. It may allow you a better understanding of how the website works!
