On the Kankomie website you can read and listen to various old folk-tales（昔話・むかしばなし） from Japan - just click on a little picture and a new window will open and the reading will start.
The stories are from Mie Prefecture and the second link for each picture will take you to the website of that story's region. The story of Otasuhime （おたつひめ）links to http://www.city.toba.mie.jp/
In English, the site is "The Mie Tourism Guide". There are versions in lots of languages including Thai, Chinese, German, Spanish and Portugese.
I like the movies about Mie Prefecture a lot.
