SRS for Japanese, offers vocab, kanji and custom lessons supporting a variety of question types. Also comes with a Kanji dictionary that is friendly enough to tell you which readings are though when in the Japanese education system (thus also which readings you might just wanna skip for practical reasons)
For premium users it also offers grammar questions (though i'm not a big fan of their implementation) more question types and audio for most words (as in actual Tokyo dialect by a human voice).
bunpro.jp (4/5)
SRS for Japanese grammar. It is still a work in progress (currently has grammar up to N3 and is 50% done with N2). Each point is accompanied by multiple example sentences and references to other places that clearly explain the grammar (guidetojapanese, japanese.stackexchange, wasabi-jpn, etc.). Currently it's all for free but the SRS will be locked behind a premium mode pretty soon. As it stands it looks to become a really promising platform to learn/train grammar.
japanese.stackexchange.com (4/5) <-- look I'm not good at giving things grades ok? xD
Its great for any kind of japanese language questions (as long as it isn't a translation request or a really stupid question).
Insert random textbook here (2/5)
I don't like them, but maybe you do
A dictionary of basic Japanese grammar (5/5)
It's a dictionary but for a decent amount of grammar instead of words. Also one of the few books i would be comfortable with recommending. There is also an intermediate and advanced version, so far i haven't needed those but I've heard the intermediate one is pretty useful as well.
Making sense of Japanese by Jay Rubin (4/5)
Also known as Gone fishin'
Its a fun read with some very useful insights about the language.
And finally an actual Japanese person found in a variety of corners on the internet (and if you're lucky in real life) (ur millage may vary/5)
Also wanikani and jstackexchange have compiled some very nice and useful resource lists as well:
