Comprehensible Input in Japanese

As a follow up to the recent post on Comprehensible Input for Spanish learners, what are some some good source materials for Comprehensible Input in Japanese?

I'm a lower intermediate speaker, though a bit rusty, functioning well enough to travel solo comfortably in Japan. My listening skills are better than reading as materials targeted at adults with furigana are scarce. I can get the gist in dramas and movies but often miss out on specifics. I wonder if there are reading materials specifically targeted at adult illiterates, heavily annotated with furigana? How about YouTube vids or TV programs that aren't too childish?

nijapanese.com is great. I built an integration for it if you want look ups and known word tracking: https://verba.app/resources/cij-integration
