Reviews

“Wagotabi is an educational game that perfectly fulfills its mission. The developers have struck a healthy balance between role-playing and learning Japanese. A must-have for all fans of the Japanese language!”
8/10 – Geeknplay

“If you want to be introduced to Japanese grammar, vocabulary, Kanji, the writing system, as well as conversations, there are NO other games that do stuff like Wagotabi.”

“Wagotabi is clearly a labor of love by a team who truly cares. If you’ve been looking for something to help you get started with Japanese in a fun and motivating way, by all means, give it a try.”

About This Game

Want to learn Japanese but don’t know where to start? Tried many learning methods, but none kept you motivated? Struggling to apply what you're learning in real life?

Wagotabi is a fun and immersive RPG adventure set in real Japan. Fully accessible to beginners, it focuses on teaching the most practical words and grammatical concepts first, in concrete situations: asking for directions, ordering a Bento, expressing your likes and dislikes, and much more! Hiragana, Katakana, and Kanji are introduced progressively as you expand your vocabulary.

Wagotabi is the game we wish we had when we first started learning Japanese.

This game is recommended for people who:

  • want to learn Japanese but don't know where to start

  • have been struggling with conventional learning material

  • want to prepare for a trip in Japan

  • are interested in Japanese culture

  • cannot go to Japan but want to apply their Japanese skills in real life situations

FEATURES

Role play in Japan
