Its something called immersion and I kind of got used to it in America.

Did you have a book in your childhood called " Learn English in 3 steps? " No you had an english class with an english book only about english.

I want a japanese book with Japanese words ONLY about Japan.

Yea, I've now resigned from this site.
I'm pretty sure you are the one not thinking things through sir.

You don't learn to read Japanese through picking up a newspaper. Were it that easy, anyone could do it.

No, I didn't have a book called 'Learn English in 3 steps' as a child. I had a whole community of native English speakers who taught it to me. I was surrounded by English on a constant basis. I didn't pick up a book in English and start reading it from the get go.

You may not have even looked at the resources people have linked you, because there are Japanese-only textbooks and sites out there. Hiragana Times, which Hatred linked, is a prime example.

A newspaper is not immersion. If you want immersion, you'll have to surround yourself with Japanese; meaning live / study in Japan.

Edit:
Browsing through the sites I linked more thoroughly, there are Japanese books / magazines and manga available, and by 'Japanese books' I mean books in Japanese, not the learning materials you are so adamantly against.

And if the Hiragana Times are too easy for you, you could always try other Japanese newspapers like The Daily Yomiuri.
