NHK Plus is similar to a trendy online TV channel that offers all the programs broadcasted by NHK on traditional television. The great thing is that if you miss an episode, you can still watch it within a week of its original air date. Additionally, they provide a fantastic playlist feature that categorizes shows, making it effortless to find something of interest. And don't fret if you're not fluent in Japanese as they offer subtitles and bilingual broadcasts. Essentially, it's your go-to destination for all things NHK in one convenient location!

Just a heads up, the TV App does not offer VOD service, simultaneous broadcasting, or the ability to rewind play. However, if you sign up for a temporary account, you can enjoy the service for a whole month without having to provide personal information such as your name and address. If you wish to continue using the service after that, you will need to complete full registration within one month. Please note that certain local programs are only available for two weeks and some programs may not be accessible at all. Additionally, depending on your internet service agreement, there may be charges incurred. It is important to mention that NHK Plus is exclusively available for individuals in Japan, determined by the IP address of your internet connection.

NHK Plus is extremely convenient for those who want to watch NHK's TV shows online. You can easily catch up on episodes you missed and create your own playlist. However, it does have some drawbacks such as no video-on-demand and it is only available for viewers in Japan.
