## What is Hanayomi Train?

Hanayomi Train turns Japanese vocabulary practice into an endless-runner race. A word arrives — as kanji, as a meaning, as an emoji, or spoken aloud — and three answer gates come down the track ahead of you. Steer the shinkansen into the right lane before you reach them.

The speed is yours: slide up to accelerate, down to ease off, double-tap to jump a gate you would rather skip. Answer well and the combo climbs; miss and you lose one of three lives. A race is twenty words.

• Seven worlds — hiragana, katakana, and JLPT N5 through N1
• 5,592 rounds built from 1,315 words, all pre-generated and bundled in the app
• Six kinds of round: read the kanji, match the meaning, pick the word, or answer by ear
• Wrong answers are plausible, not silly — every one is drawn from the same JLPT level and the same word class as the answer
• Built-in spaced repetition, so the words you keep missing come back first and the ones you know step aside
• Spoken prompts in a natural Japanese voice, bundled in the app
• Nine stylized regions of Japan, with a day-to-night cycle that runs as you do
• English, Portuguese and Spanish, switchable at any time
• Fully offline — no account, no ads, no tracking, no in-app purchases

Kana and N5 are open from the start; each JLPT world unlocks when you score 100 in the one before it.

Vocabulary, readings and meanings come from the open JMdict and KANJIDIC dictionaries (EDRDG, CC BY-SA 4.0) and the JLPT vocabulary lists of Jonathan Waller (tanos.co.uk, CC BY-SA 4.0). Emoji artwork is Twemoji (CC BY 4.0).
