This site (classic.jisho.org) will say goodbye to everyone at the end of November 2021.
Thank you for an amazing 15 years — we launched this site back in 2006. But with the birth of our newer
jisho.org in 2015, it has been left untouched and the data here is outdated by more than 10 years.
The current
jisho.org is actively maintained and regularly updated. We’ll be looking forward to seeing you there!
Search tips
- Automatic conversion from roman characters to kana.
- Bundle search terms with quotation marks (") to search for phrases. Like this: "to eat"
- Use Japanese and English in the same query to make your search more precise.
- Use the wildcards * (zero or more characters) and ? (exactly one character).
- English or Japanese input mode doesn't matter. Asterisks, question marks, spaces and quotation marks work from both input modes.
