This link is dead. I am keeping this original listing just for reference.
NJ contains regular sections, interspersed with feature and seasonal articles. The regular columns:
* NJ News
* Kanji Breakthrough
* Passing the JETRO Business Japanese Test
* Composition Clinic – improve your written Japanese
* Passing the JLPT
* Reading Time
* Using Manga to Improve Conversation
Most of the articles are either bilingual or have English language explanations sprinkled here and there, but the layout means that the Japanese is always most prominent and the English relegated to a referential role only…Every issue comes with a CD of matching audio – 90 minutes plus of aural joy including listening practice for the JLPT. Total cost per issue – 1680yen – a bargain.
My only gripe is that the format for the listening quizzes is often slightly different to the JLPT format so people practising for the exam should use NJ earlier on in the study process and switch to past papers (where the format is exactly the same) when the test gets closer.

Is this available online?
I am keeping a magazine copy of Nihongo Journal dated Dec 1992 and I found it very good and useful for someone like me self-studying.
