The playerbase is still small at this time, so there aren't many live games, but it's been slowly picking up steam the last year or two. Just like here, there are tutorials and puzzles, as well as a few variants.
I've heard good things about lishogi, especially with (I believe) other more popular shogi sites which require more paying to get the full bundle—hopefully more chessplayers get interested and also more shogi players get into chess, seems more fun if the base is bigger for both as well as those who play both. The reasons Masukawa propose for chess struggling in Japan paints a pretty good picture of partly why shogi struggles outside Japan.
