Japan Travel helps you speak Japanese in the moments that matter on a trip — buying a Shinkansen ticket, checking in at your hotel, ordering at a restaurant, or asking for help. Hear every phrase spoken naturally, follow along kana by kana, and practice anywhere, even without a signal.

Why travelers like it

  • Follow every word — the Japanese lights up kana by kana as you listen, so sound and script finally click.
  • Real travel situations, not textbook grammar — hundreds of practical phrases by scene: airport, train and subway, hotel, restaurant, shopping, taxi, and emergencies.
  • A picture for every phrase, so the meaning sticks.
  • Natural audio in 3 voices — play at 0.75×, 1×, or 1.25×, repeat, or auto-play.
  • It adapts to you — swipe up or down to hear a phrase more or less often.
  • Sleep timer and daily reminder for a calm, low-effort habit. Audio keeps playing with the screen locked.
  • Romaji and translations in English, ไทย, 한국어, Deutsch, Français, Español, and 中文 (Simplified / Traditional) — it follows your device language.

100% offline, no account

Every phrase, recording, and picture is built into the app. It works on the plane, in the subway, or anywhere in Japan without roaming — and it collects no personal data at all.
