This study aims to determine the relationship between perception of digital media and motivation to learn Japanese in MAN 3 Kediri students. The background of this study is based on the results of Community Service (PkM) activities which show that 85.2% of students consider Japanese learning digital media interesting and 92.6% stated that their motivation to learn increases. The research uses a quantitative approach with a correlational design. The research population was all grade XI students (N=27) who participated in digital media-based Japanese language learning training using websites such as yomujp.com, tadoku.org, and Kahoot and Wordwall applications. Data were collected using a questionnaire consisting of two variables: perception of digital media (5 items) and learning motivation (5 items). The analysis was carried out using descriptive statistics and Pearson Product-Moment correlation tests. The results showed a positive and significant relationship between the perception of digital media and students' motivation to learn Japanese (r = 0.68; p < 0.05). These findings show that the more positive the students' perception of digital media, the higher their motivation is to learn Japanese. This research emphasizes the importance of integrating digital technology in foreign language learning to foster students' interest and independence in learning.
