The German Embassy in Tokyo launched a Web site Wednesday that offers news about the country in Japanese accessible by those with Internet-capable mobile phones.

The service, which was launched to coincide with the anniversary of German reunification in 1990, will offer information about the country, its embassy in Japan and the euro's exchange rate.

The Web site can be accessed by users of NTT DoCoMo's i-mode and J Phone's J-Sky services, which together have 30 million subscribers, the embassy said.

The Web site's address is www.deu.jp/de
