Japanese Study Materials
Our Minna no Nihongo Japanese-languages series, which emphasizes the acquisition of basic Japanese sentence patterns and the practice of natural spoken Japanese, has become a long-term favorite with students of Japanese through providing everything necessary for a general introduction to the language. With its range of ancillary texts, including translations and grammatical notes in various languages, the series has been widely adopted by students and teachers both in Japan and abroad because of its ease of understanding and use.

Besides Minna no Nihongo, we also publish other textbooks - notably the Shin Nihongo no Kiso series - for learners who want to study on a short-term basis, people who want to learn expressions they can use straight away in their daily lives, and those who want to study things Japanese, starting at beginner level.

To meet learners’ various needs, we have published the J301 and J501 series of comprehensive Japanese language textbooks, along with books arranged by topic, a range of texts designed to foster practical competence in conversation, composition and grammar, as well as texts designed to strengthen Japanese language ability, geared to preparation for the Japanese Language Proficiency Test.

We publish a range of reference books, including a commentary on grammar used in everyday conversation, an audio reference book dealing with both theory and practice, an analysis of incorrect usage, a study of the history of Japanese language education and a reference work on Japanese language education.for children entering Japan from overseas.
