Free to start: your whole visa checklist, both kana charts, and the JLPT N5 deck. Pro adds N4, N3 and ward-office Japanese, with a 7-day free trial. Moving to Japan means two problems at once: a pile of paperwork with deadlines you cannot see, and a language you will need on the day you land. Ittekimasu handles both. A CHECKLIST WITH DATES ON IT Pick your visa route and your target move date, and the checklist builds itself — visa paperwork, housing, banking, the ward office run, the things nobody warns you about. Every task carries its own date, counted forward or back from the day you arrive, so you always know what is next rather than what exists. The checklist keeps going past your arrival. Registering your address, opening a bank account, the phone contract — they are already on the list, waiting. THE JAPANESE YOU WILL ACTUALLY USE Kana first, because that is the real wall. Both syllabaries are a chart you tap through and hear, 104 characters each — a reference, not a deck, so reading it costs you nothing and needs no connection. Then vocabulary, scheduled by spaced repetition. The front of a card is the word as written; the back is the reading and the meaning, so you recall how to say it and not only what it means. Cannot read kana yet? Readings start in romaji — a card reads "otoko - man" rather than "おとこ - man" — and one switch in Settings turns romaji off everywhere the day you would rather be tested. The Ward Office deck is the differentiator: the vocabulary of registering your address, enrolling in health insurance and opening a bank account. Fifty-five cards you will not find grouped this way in a textbook. A SESSION THAT DECIDES ITSELF Open a deck and today is already worked out: everything due comes back first, then at most ten cards you have never met. Clear it and the deck tells you the day it returns rather than pretending to be finished. The silence between sessions is the method, not a gap in it. Every answer shows you exactly when the card comes back, so honest self-rating costs you nothing. Tapped the wrong button? One step of undo, no confirmation dialog. BUILT FOR A REAL LIFE Works offline. Your decks are cached on the device, and answers given on a plane are queued and sent when you land — they survive the app being closed. No punitive streaks. A day with nothing due does not break anything; clearing a deck buys you quiet by design, and losing a streak for that would punish you for doing the work. One daily reminder, at an hour you choose in your own timezone, and only when there is something worth opening. FREE, AND WHAT PRO ADDS Free: the complete checklist for your visa route, both kana charts, the JLPT N5 deck, 20 reviews a day, streaks and the daily reminder. Ittekimasu Pro: JLPT N4, JLPT N3 and the Ward Office deck, and no daily review limit. New cards stay paced at ten per deck a day on Pro too — that pacing is what spaced repetition is; what Pro removes is the cap on reviewing what you have already met. Both plans start with a 7-day free trial. Not moving to Japan? Choose the language-only path in onboarding and go straight to the decks. IMPORTANT The checklist is a planning tool written from common experience. It is not immigration advice. Always confirm requirements with the Immigration Services Agency of Japan and with your employer's HR. 行ってきます — I'm off, and I'll be back.

  • This app hasn’t received enough ratings or reviews to display an overview.

Kana practice is now a real quiz, with a page to track how you're doing. • Easy mode: choose the right reading from four options. • Hard mode: type the romaji yourself. • Every answer plays the sound and shows the reading. Get one wrong and you'll see the right answer, not a red X. • A results screen after each quiz: your score, how fast you answered each character, and what you answered. Get them all right for a little celebration. • New Kana Progress page: see every kana coloured by how well you know it, from new to mastered, and quiz yourself on the ones worth another look. • Your progress also shows on the chart: every kana you've answered correctly gets a small count. • Select a whole script in one tap. • Added ぢゃ, ぢゅ and ぢょ (and ヂャ, ヂュ, ヂョ) to the chart. The kana chart, quiz and progress page are free. Your progress is saved on your phone, and Pro also backs it up to your account, so it comes back on a new phone.
