Wagotabi（和語旅）：日本語を学ぼう

This is the most effortless and natural way to learn Japanese. You start from nothing and everything is in English and gradually as you learn new Japanese words and grammar structures, the English is then swapped out for that new information. All the characters will talk to you using those new words and grammar structures. You also learn lots of various facts about Japan! I really enjoy learning everything I can about Japan. I liked that it introduces real places facts about that place, facts about history, book recommendations and folklore. Absolutely everything is great! I also love the fact you learn kanji and when you do learn the kanji there’s no furigana above it, this really does make you get better at reading it and remember how to read it! I love that for every Japanese sentence there’s audio for it so you get listening and reading practise. I truly adore this game so far. I know it’s still being updated, I’d really like it if it could go up to level N3 or even beyond. 5+ stars! Amazing ❤️

I'm really enjoying this app. I've finished the chapter on Momotaro's dog but can't seem to progress to the next one. I also couldn't access 蒜山. Is this chapter still in progress?

Can’t wait for the higher levels targeting N2 - N1

é um jogo simples, porém sua jogabilidade e didática são excelentes... você realmente aprende japonês de uma forma prática... 😍! parabéns aos desenvolvedores e a prefeitura de Kagawa que tornou possível este aplicativo... será um trabalho árduo finalizar as 47 províncias, mas estão no caminho certo, pois é cativante jogar Wagotabi... 👏😍!

This is honestly the most complete Japanese learning app/game that I have seen so far. I wonder why no one thought of creating it earlier. The combination of short but effective lessons, use of knowledge right away in the game, and included SRS makes this truly unique. A must for every person wanting to learn Japanese out there. I never had knowledge stick in my head like that. Totally worth the $!

This is a pretty great game, the first language learning game that I actually found fun, but the audio isn’t working for me. It worked my first time playing but now there’s just nothing, I checked my volume, Bluetooth, and in game settings, but there’s just nothing. Edit: oh my god right after writing this review I tried flipping the physical “do not disturb” switch on my iPhone and it unmuted the game audio. Why????? Why would you make it work like that? Please change that 😭

This game is amazing, I haven’t gotten super far into it and I already know hiragana and am learning Katakana and some Kanji. This is a perfect addition for anyone looking to learn Japanese and add a little bit more fun into it. Plus it is teaching you super useful things, like immersion but a couple thousand dollars cheaper and people won’t judge you and start speaking English when you didn’t catch what they said the first time in Japanese, you can just replay it and get instant visual feedback with kana and explanations.

One of the best developed learning Japanese RPG games I’ve played so far. Please download and support this game and developer. Can’t wait for them to add more content to this game ! Thank you for your hard work!

This app is fantastic! It makes studying feel like playing a game, which is awesome. It’s definitely for beginners. I’m not a beginner, but I’m still having a great time. I hope they add intermediate and advanced levels in the future.

I’ve been playing this on and off, and I absolutely love it. I’m already (kind of) experienced with Japanese, mostly using duolingo. I’ve played the demo on steam and I loved it, so I got this one finally. It’s super good, I love it. I’ve learned stuff duolingo didn’t teach me at all in the earlier lessons. What I think I really love is how it introduces kanji. It doesn’t give you the reading and then randomly introduces the kanji and hopes you remember, it gives you the kanji and reading at once. And it only gives you the kana that you need for those words so you don’t have to memorize all the other ones you don’t need yet. I’m in love with this app, I really recommend it. It’s helped me a ton.
