Japanese-English Dictionary

Search for Japanese words and their meanings.

/

A fast and simple dictionary for anyone learning Japanese. You can find words or kanji using the search box from above. There are better resources out there like jisho.org, but this website was built as a personal project to improve my knowledge in both Engineering Software and Japanese. There's still plenty of room for improvement, and I'll keep working on it whenever I get the chance. (✧ω✧)

How to search

You can look up any word using whatever you already know:


I would like keep adding new features in the future like:

  •   Inflection information
  •   Search using Radicals
  •   Search using Tags like
    JLPT N5
  •   Show shortcuts to related kanjis

About me

This place was built by me (Jordi), you can reach me on izquiratops.bsky.social.
I made this project to learn more about Go, Text search and how to host services out there. The source code is public in my tangled.org repository.

If you find it useful and want to help me keeping the server running, a donation (⌒_⌒;) ♥ goes a long way.
