Japanese Mahjong can be played on various online sites and clients.

Tenhou.net

Tenhou.net is one of the most popular sites to play the game, and one of the most established. The English support is poor without a translation add-on (Chrome, Firefox), and the UI is not as up-to-date as many other websites.

Mahjong Soul

Mahjong Soul is another one of the most popular sites. It has a much newer client than Tenhou.net, with native English support. It has "anime" aesthetics. The game features gacha mechanics to obtain characters and other cosmetics.

Riichi City

The ever-popular Bamboo Game is a spinoff of Japanese Mahjong, played against a single computer opponent using only the 36 Souzu tiles. All hands are at least Chinitsu.
