Easy Japanese writing practice for beginners
Japanese hiragana and katakana writing practice.
If you are new to learning Japanese, you’ll want to get your hiragana and katakana down pat before you move on to anything else.
Spending time on your hiragana and katakana writing practice not only helps you memorise the characters, it will also improve your handwriting and help you become accustomed to correct stroke order, which will be a massive benefit when you move on to learning kanji !
There are loads of free Japanese katakana and hiragana writing practice sheets online for you to download and print at home. Here’s a selection:
Free Japanese hiragana and katakana writing practice sheets pdf workbook

![daily routine japanese essay Screenshot from the website Kakikata Print Maker, showing some of the many types of Japanese writing worksheets you can generate and print for free.](https://teamjapanese.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/02/kakikata-Japanese-worksheet-generator-screenshot.png)
An awesome website (designed for Japanese parents/teachers to use with their children) where you can design and print your own worksheets with kana or kanji characters of your choice, in various formats. You can even choose to add stroke order! Useful if you want to practise a particular word or set of characters.
Japanese Tools: create your own kana practice sheets
Here is another useful site where you can create your own Japanese practice writing sheets with the characters of your choice, printed with a gradual fade to trace/copy.
Japanese kanji writing practice
If you are studying kanji from a textbook or course and you just need blank kanji graph paper to practise writing on, you can print that out here .
If you are looking for pre-printed kanji worksheets with kanji to copy out, the best resource I have found is this one:
![daily routine japanese essay Screenshot showing example N5 level kanji worksheet from kanji.sh](https://teamjapanese.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/02/Japanese-writing-practice-kanji-worksheets.png)
This amazing website lets you download and print kanji writing practice worksheets for kanji sets according to JLPT level, Japanese school grade level, Wanikani level, Kanji Garden app level, or frequency. It’s totally free and so useful!
Easy Japanese sentence writing practice
Once you know your kana and a few kanji, you might start to think about writing out some Japanese sentences.
JapanesePod101 writing practice worksheets
![daily routine japanese essay Screenshot showing some free Japanese writing worksheets from JapanesePod101](https://teamjapanese.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/02/Japanese-sentence-writing-practice-workbooks.png)
JapanesePod101 has a selection of free Japanese writing practice sheets, available as pdfs that you can download and print yourself. They currently have 16+ free writing practice workbooks on beginner-friendly topics such as daily routine or ordering food. This is a good way to get used to writing out simple Japanese sentences at the beginner level.
However, I wouldn’t recommend them for complete beginners because they use kanji – so you should be familiar with some kanji and the basic rules of stroke order before you use them.
As soon as you are able to form Japanese sentences on your own, I recommend you start a Japanese journal and/or sharing your sentences with others using the resources in the intermediate/advanced section below!
When you are learning to write in Japanese, I recommend writing them out by hand as much as possible because it helps you learn by muscle memory and helps you develop neat handwriting! However, it’s also useful to have a great writing practice app or two on your phone so you can study on the go.
There are lots of great apps out there to practise writing Japanese characters. Here are some recommendations:
![daily routine japanese essay Screenshot from the Skritter app to learn Japanese hiragana and katakana](https://teamjapanese.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/02/japanese-writing-practice-app-screenshot-skritter.png)
Skritter is an app for learning Japanese (and Chinese) writing and vocabulary. You can use Skritter to learn kana and kanji from scratch, or simply to review what you’ve learned. It uses handwriting recognition and a spaced repetition system (SRS) to help you learn effectively.
Under the ‘test’ settings section you can choose to focus on writing only, or add in flashcards for reading and definition too.
It works well alongside other courses and textbooks to practise your characters. They have pre-made flashcard decks from various textbooks which is great when you get on to drilling vocabulary.
![daily routine japanese essay Screenshot of Ringotan app to practise writing Japanese characters](https://teamjapanese.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/02/japanese-writing-practice-app-screenshot-ringotan.png)
As with Skritter, you can either use this app to learn kana and kanji as a complete beginner, or just to practise writing the characters you already know. In fact, it’s probably the best app I’ve found if you just want a simple flashcard-style writing practice app with handwriting recognition. It’s a little clunkier to use but once you’ve got it set up, it’s easy. If you already know the kana and you just want to practise, choose ‘Yes, but I need more practice’ during the set-up stage.
![daily routine japanese essay Screenshot of Scripts app showing a demonstration of how to write the hiragana character あ (a)](https://teamjapanese.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/02/japanese-writing-practice-app-screenshot-scripts.png)
The Scripts app from the makers of Drops teaches you kana and kanji (and also has the option to learn other languages’ scripts, such as hangul or hanzi, if you’re doing the polyglot thing). You learn by tracing the characters with your finger on the screen.
It’s a good option if you are learning to write the Japanese characters from scratch. However, I could not see an option to skip the ‘learning’ stage and just review, so if you’ve already mastered your kana it won’t be for you.
Learn Japanese!
This is a very simple and easy to use app to learn how to write hiragana and katakana. However, you only learn 5 characters at a time and I couldn’t see a way to skip to review only, so again, great for complete beginners but not if you just want to practise.
Intermediate and advanced Japanese writing practice
At the intermediate and advanced levels, you are well beyond copying out characters/sentences on worksheets, and you will be creating your own compositions in Japanese. In fact, I highly recommend doing this as soon as you are able to!
One popular method to get your Japanese writing practice is to keep a daily diary or journal in Japanese . You can try to incorporate new grammar and vocabulary you’ve learned, or simply write whatever comes into your head just to get used to writing in Japanese.
Even jotting down a few private sentences in your own notebook will be beneficial. But if you want to step it up a notch, use one of the websites/apps below to share your writing with other learners and native speakers and receive feedback.
If you’ve been studying languages for a while you might be mourning the loss of Lang8, a site where you could post journal entries in your target language online and get feedback from native speakers. Here are a couple of Lang 8 alternatives I’ve found:
LangCorrect
![daily routine japanese essay Screenshoot of LangCorrect homepage, a website where language learners can keep a journal online](https://teamjapanese.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/02/Japanese-writing-practice-langcorrect.png)
LangCorrect is a site where you can practise your Japanese writing online by writing daily journal entries and getting corrections from native speakers. It’s fairly active with the Japanese learning community, and you can usually expect to get a few comments/corrections within a few hours (don’t forget to take the time difference into account!). They also have journal prompts in case you’re feeling the writer’s block. It’s free to use.
Journaly is a similar site I’ve heard, about although I haven’t used it and I have the impression its user base is smaller than LangCorrect. It’s free to use and there is also a paid version which has a few extra benefits, such as bumping up your posts to get more attention.
This is a free website offered by Dickinson College. Its main purpose is for connecting language exchange partners, but they also have a feature where you can post writing samples to receive corrections from native speakers.
r/WriteStreakJP
This subreddit is a forum to practise writing in Japanese. It’s for anyone at any level who wants to practise their Japanese writing. The idea is that you write something every day to build up a ‘streak’ and build the habit of writing in Japanese regularly.
You can write whatever you feel like; many people write diary-like entries about their day, or share random thoughts, or write about something new they’ve learned etc. There are native Japanese speaking mods who drop by to correct mistakes.
There are a lot more learners than native speakers on the forum, though, so unfortunately you’re not guaranteed feedback. But it’s still a great place to practise writing (and reading!) Japanese.
![daily routine japanese essay Screenshot of the homepage of language exchange app HelloTalk](https://teamjapanese.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/02/Japanese-writing-practice-hellotalk.png)
HelloTalk is a language exchange app where you can connect with Japanese native speakers, chat via text, voice or video call and receive feedback on your Japanese. In addition to connecting with people directly, you can also create ‘moments’ (write posts such as sharing journal entries, or pictures of your day) and ask general questions, and receive comments/feedback from other users.
Be warned, recently I hear a lot of users complaining that people use the messaging function like a dating app – but you may have better success using the ‘moments’ function or messaging people yourself first.
Another language exchange app where you can exchange text messages with a Japanese-speaking partner and receive corrections.
HiNative
On HiNative you can ask questions about language usage and get feedback from native speakers. You can write your questions either in Japanese or English. This question/answer service is free. Premium paid members can also post diary entries to get feedback.
More resources for Japanese writing practice
Here’s a mixture of other useful tools and resources I’ve found for Japanese writing practice that don’t fit neatly into the above categories! This section contains a mixture of free and paid resources.
Japanese water calligraphy practice kits (paid)
Why not go old-school and practise your Japanese characters with a real calligraphy brush! In Japan, students often practise their calligraphy with these nifty ‘magic’ kits, where you paint with water on the special water-activated paper, which fades away after a few minutes so you can reuse it time and time again. This is a fun way to refine your Japanese handwriting while reviewing the characters!
![daily routine japanese essay Kuretake DAW100-7 Calligraphy Set, Water Writing, Hard Brush, Use Water, Can Be Written Many Times, Beautiful Characters, Practice Set](https://teamjapanese.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/01/51uNq-qmDxL._SL500_.webp)
Printable Japanese journals with writing prompts (paid)
![daily routine japanese essay Promotional image titled '215 Japanese writing prompts' and showing 2 example Japanese writing worksheets.](https://teamjapanese.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/02/japanese-writing-prompts-printable.jpg)
I found this printable Japanese journaling/writing practice kit on Etsy. It contains dozens of writing prompts at the beginner, intermediate and advanced levels, so you’ve got no excuse not to jot down a few sentences in Japanese every day! Check out the other great resources by the same author.
Japanese planner templates (free)
If you want to take daily notes or plan your day/week in Japanese, this site has loads of free Japanese planner templates to print out.
Japanese writing practice notebooks (paid)
The paper used in Japan for school compositions/essay writing practice is called genkouyoushi . There are lots of genkouyoushi notebooks with cute cover designs available on Amazon.
![daily routine japanese essay Genkouyoushi Practice Book: Japanese Kanji Practice Paper - Notebook for Kanji, Hiragana, and Katakana - Large 8.5" x 11" - 121 Pages](https://teamjapanese.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/01/31t10VU1WnL._SL500_.webp)
Free printable genkouyoushi (Japanese composition paper)
Alternatively, you can print out your own genkouyoushi-style blank writing sheets here for free.
Japanese sentence/usage databases
These databases are useful tools that I often use when writing in Japanese to check how words are used. You can search for a Japanese word and see it in context of many authentic, native Japanese sentences, to get an idea of correct and natural usage. You can also use them for sentence mining , if that’s your thing.
- Reverso – my favourite. Need to create a free account to see all sentences.
- Natsume – see how often a word is used, and which particles and other words usually follow it
- Sentence search with audio
How to Write Japanese Essays book (paid)
If you are studying Japanese to a very high level, for example to enter a Japanese university or company, you will need Japanese essay writing practice. The book How to Write Japanese Essays comes highly recommended and will train you to write in the formal academic style that is taught in Japan.

Japanese Vocabulary for Chores and Daily Routines
August 18, 2020
By Paolo Palabrica
Expressing various daily routines in Japanese can be mostly straightforward. However, though the sentence structure itself may be simple, cultural differences from other countries can make direct translation difficult or confusing for some of these terms.
![Japanese Vocabulary for Chores and Daily Routines Daily Routine Vocabulary](https://talkinjapanese.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/08/Japanese-Vocabulary-for-Chores-and-Daily-Routines.png)
One basic example is the generic term for “cleaning” . This is usually spoken in colloquial Japanese as “kirei ni suru” (綺麗にする).
When translated directly to English, this would always be closer to the phrase “make (it) beautiful, pure or spotless”. True, we definitely sometimes use the term to refer to “cleaning”, but not as commonly as the Japanese people use the term “kirei ni suru” in everyday life.
As we can see below, there are two more additional terms for “cleaning”, but these are far more direct, with the terminology directly referring to the exact same thing in English.
Also, keep in mind that these are only the most commonly used terms, as you can get more specific by using more verbs and further adding different action terminologies.
Brush teeth | Ha wo migaku | 歯を磨く | はをみがく |
Change clothes | Kigaeru | 着替える | きがえる |
Cleaning (tidying up) | Souji (suru) | 掃除 (する) | そうじ |
Cleaning (treatment) | Seisou (suru) | 清掃 (する) | せいそう |
Commute to work | Tsuukin (suru) | 通勤 (する) | つうきん |
Cook a meal | Ryouri (suru) | 料理 (する) | りょうり |
Eat a meal | Shokuji wo suru | 食事をする | しょくじをする |
Use/Fiddle with a PC | Pasokon wo ijiru | パソコンを弄る | パソコンをいじる |
Go home | (Uchi ni) kaeru | (内に) 帰る | うちにかえる |
Go out (to something) | Dekakeru | 出かける | でかける |
Go to school | Gakkou ni iku | 学校に行く | がっこうにいく |
Have fun/Visit a place | Asobi ni iku | 遊びに行く | あそびにいく |
Household chores | Kaji wo suru | 家事をする | かじをする |
Laundry | Sentaku (suru) | 洗濯 (する) | せんたく |
Shopping | Kaimono (suru) | 買い物 (する) | かいもの |
Sleep | Neru | 寝る | ねる |
Study | Benkyou (suru) | 勉強 (する) | べんきょう |
Take a (tub) bath | Ofuro ni hairu | お風呂に入る | おふろにはいる |
Take a nap | Kamin wo toru | 仮眠を取る | かみんをとる |
Take a shower | Shawaa wo abiru | シャワーを浴びる | シャワーをあびる |
Wake up | Okiru | 起きる | おきる |
Walking | (O) Sanpo (suru) | (お) 散歩 (する) | さんぽ |
Wash face | Kao wo arau | 顔を洗う | かおをあらう |
Watch TV | Terebi wo miru | テレビを見る | テレビをみる |
Keep in mind, that the words that have the optional “suru” (NOT “wo suru” ) with them are actually nouns. This means that they are only treated as verbs when “suru” is added.
Reversely, you can structure the sentence using these terms directly when referring to the action of its meaning. For example, “nihongo no benkyou” (日本語の勉強, “The study of Japanese/Japanese studies ”)

In this podcast you’re going to learn useful verbs to talk about your daily routine. These verbs are very commonly used in casual conversation throughout the day so they are well worth learning. You will also study a little grammar related to plain form verbs and -TE form verbs which are the most common type of verb used in casual speech. You will also learn how they are used together when describing actions in a sequence.
Also, the dialogue in this lesson will teach you particles which are sounds that usually go at the end of sentences to change the nuance of what you are saying. Learning these will help you sound a lot more natural when speaking Japanese.

My Daily Routine and Commute to the Japanese Language School
![daily routine japanese essay My Daily Routine and Commute to the Japanese Language School](https://greenhearttravel.org/wp-content/uploads/2016/07/commuters-in-japan-750x480.jpg)
My daily routine in Japan is waking up at 7:30 a.m in the morning to get ready for school . During that time, I would finish any homework that I didn’t do the previous night, brush my teeth, text my friends and family, and prepare for school. By 8:15 a.m, I leave my homestay house to go to Fujisaki Station in which I take the subway to go all the way to Hakata Station. By the time I get to Hakata Station and travel to my school, it’s around 9:00 a.m in which I have 30 minutes to spare until class starts.
Check out my daily commute to the Japanese language school:
At 9:30 a.m, I have Japanese Language class all the way up to 1:10 p.m. There are 5-10 minute breaks between classes, but each class is around 1 hour long, so usually I try to bring a snack with me to eat during breaks.
At 1:10 p.m, I either go to the supermarket or a guy that I like to call “The Bento Guy” because he sells cheap bentos for only 300 yen ($3 in USD).
At 2:05 p.m., I have activity class that goes into either the culture class or the pop-culture class and we do fun activities until 3:50 p.m.
After activity class, I either go straight back to my station, or I go with my friends to a place that we want to go to such as an anime store, a CD store, or to the mall. Then I go home to meet Mahiru and Ms. Chikako to eat dinner. My favorite foods so far is chicken karaage, somen noodles, ramen, gyoza, and curry with rice and chicken katsu.
After eating, Mahiru helps me with my Japanese homework. Then it’s free time until 11:00 p.m and then I go to sleep and the day repeats. I have gotten used to commuting to school and have picked up some tips to share with future students.
Tips for Future Students
One tip that I can give for anyone who is wanting to travel abroad to learn a new language is try to prepare yourself beforehand. I know that a lot of the students who started at beginner’s level were still having a hard time even though they were just beginning. I think you should try to learn and master the basics before learning it during class, that way you have an easier time to adjust to the teacher’s pace and the classwork/homework that they give you.
Another piece of advice for anyone who wants to travel abroad to learn a new language is to speak out. I know that trying to immerse yourself into another country that speaks a different language than yours is going to be very difficult and challenging but try to communicate to the locals and other people around you. Don’t be afraid to speak whenever you feel like you need help, even though they may or may not understand you. Just don’t be shy trying to communicate in a language that you have little to no experience in speaking and just try your best to ask for help.

I learned a lot about myself during my time abroad in Japan. I learned that I can actually handle public transportation a lot better than I expected. In Hawaii, I have never used a bus nor is there any subway stations. By going to Japan, I’ve had a great experience in using public transportation, that I probably wouldn’t have learned in Hawaii because I never use it.
I also learned that I truly enjoy making international friends from all over the world. Not only have I made friends at school and my host family’s home, I’ve been able to make friends from Japanese schools as well as some of Ms. Chikako’s friends. This has been a great and amazing experience overall and I feel like I’m going to remember this trip forever.

9 Japanese Writing Exercises for Creative Language Practice
Writing is one of the most important skills you can learn in Japanese.
It involves creating your own sentences with all the Japanese words and grammar you’ve learned so far.
So how can you practice your writing skills in a way that’s fun, stimulating and rewarding ?
The best answer I’ve found so far is doing unique Japanese writing exercises, especially if you do so in a journal specifically for that purpose.
Read on for my nine favorite Japanese writing practice activities !
1. The New Character Challenge
2. the daily journal entry challenge, 3. the character count challenge, 4. the show and tell challenge, 5. the letter challenge, 6. the review challenge, 7. the recipe challenge, 8. the diary challenge, 9. the memory challenge, why use a journal for japanese writing exercises, how to practice japanese handwriting, and one more thing....

Chances are that you have a reasonably concrete study schedule set in place by now. (If not, start here !) That means you should be learning new characters—or at least seeing them pop up in your study materials—quite frequently.
What better way is there to reinforce your character studies than to practice using them?
Try keeping a record of this week’s (or this month’s) new characters. These could be hiragana, katakana or kanji, depending on your current level.
Then, use each new character at least once , in context, in your Japanese notebook or journal. The more you use them, the better!
FluentU takes authentic videos—like music videos, movie trailers, news and inspiring talks—and turns them into personalized language learning lessons.
You can try FluentU for free for 2 weeks. Check out the website or download the iOS app or Android app.

Write a journal entry every day for a week .
This could be about anything. Something you did that day, something you learned in Japanese class, something you want to do in the future, a conversation you had with a friend… the possibilities are endless!
Even if things are pretty routine and dull during the week, keep track of what you do, think, feel, see or even dream.
Then, knuckle down and write seven entries in seven days. Try writing at the same time every day to get into the habit of doing it.
If you’re feeling up to an extra challenge, try to keep this going for an additional week, for a whole month or indefinitely.
Set yourself a character minimum for your journal entry for that day.
Decide how many characters you’re going to write. This will vary depending on your current Japanese skill level and your quantity of available time.
Start with 100 (yes! It’s supposed to be a challenge). If you plan on writing in mostly hiragana and katakana , increase your character count a little. One kanji character is sometimes equal to two or even three kana letters.
Then, increase your character minimum the next time to 200, then 250, then 300… You get the picture. You’ll get to know your own limits as you go.
This challenge is extremely difficult for some—particularly anyone who would say they’re shy or a perfectionist. You’ve got to show your journal (or at least an entry or two) to your Japanese friends for proofreading and checking.
Try not to be shy! Find a native or fluent Japanese speaker who would be willing to read your writing. Their feedback will help you figure out and improve on any mistakes you’ve made.
Not only will your reader point you in the right direction with things you’re struggling with, but they’ll most likely be very impressed with your effort and praise you on your strengths, too!
If you don’t have any Japanese friends or acquaintances, you can check out some online platforms where you’ll likely find some people who would be more than happy to check for you.
You can also use italki to find a Japanese tutor and ask them to go through your writing and offer constructive criticism .
Maybe you’re all on board to try the above challenges, but there’s one little problem—you have no clue what to write!
If that’s the case, this challenge (and the next ones) will help give you more guidance and spark your creativity.
In the letter challenge, the idea is to try writing a heartfelt letter in Japanese to one of your friends (or family members, if applicable). This could be a great way to practice using Japanese honorifics .
You can also practice writing formal letters (perhaps to practice for applying to Japanese-speaking jobs) and using keigo , the most polite form of Japanese.
Or, you can simply write a casual letter to a friend who can speak Japanese. It’ll be motivating knowing that they’ll be able to read it when you’re done.
Think about a recent book , manga , movie or anime you’ve watched recently, then write about what you thought of it .
If you choose to write about something from your home country, bear in mind your review might be one of just a few in Japanese—perhaps even the very first!
Do you write a personal blog? Reviews are great blogging content. You might end up with a huge Japanese following!
Need more things to review? Treat yourself to a one-time Kawaii Box , or sign up for a monthly subscription. You’ll get ten adorable Japanese items in each box, ranging from yummy little snacks to toys and pencil cases, which gives you ample things to write about.
This Japanese writing exercise will give you the chance to practice descriptive adjectives . You should aim to use a good number of these in your writing—try setting a personal goal before you start.
It’s always nice when your Japanese studies can link you with delicious food .
So, choose your favorite dish—it’s totally fine to pick one native to your own country. Now, in your Japanese notebook, describe the flavors and ingredients of the dish . Talk about any customs surrounding it or seasonal consumption, if applicable.
Write out a recipe for how to prepare your dish in Japanese. It can be as complicated or as simple as you like, depending on the dish and your language level.
This is a great way to practice using imperatives and the ~てください / ~でください form.
This is a good challenge to combine with the daily writing challenge in #2. Write a simple diary entry of your day or an event you recently went to.
The diary challenge is especially good if you’re an intermediate level learner and you’re doing something exciting that week that you can write about, such as going on vacation.
However, there’s no problem with choosing a fairly normal event (going to school, work, etc.). Those are things you probably talk about often, anyway, which means you’ll get good practice with useful vocabulary and common grammar points .
In fact, this is a great way to get grammar practice or review in: You can practice tenses, adjectives, prepositions and anything else you learned recently.
Up for a chance to test yourself?
Open two blank pages of your notebook, preferably side by side. On the left page, write a journal entry by yourself, with no assistance —no using a dictionary and no asking for help. If you’re writing kanji, don’t check the shape or stroke order!
When you’ve finished, check it yourself or with a friend. Then, on the right-hand page, rewrite it neatly with any corrections. Essentially, the left page is your “draft” piece, and the right page is your “final” piece.
In this format, it will be easier to see where there’s room for improvement. Beyond meaning and usage, pay special attention to any mistakes you’ve made in the shape or size of the characters.
This exercise will get you used to writing from memory and will also improve your writing confidence . If you do this practice more than once (which you should!), you’ll eventually be able to see a clear line of your progress.
First of all, the best way to improve your writing is by writing. A lot.
Keeping a journal gives you a designated place to store your writing . You don’t have to hunt for spare paper or take up precious space in your actual learning notebook.
Any notebook can be a writing journal, but a high quality one with lots of pages will work especially well. I recommend buying something you’d be proud to show off to people, so you can get native speaker feedback on your work.
Having a specific notebook can also help you get into the habit of doing Japanese writing exercises every day . Practicing your writing often will improve your writing speed, as well as your grammar and vocabulary , too.
What’s more, a writing journal is a wonderful tool for tracking language learning progress . By keeping a notebook and writing in it consistently, you’ll be able to actually see improvement in your writing skills as time goes on.
Eventually, your journal will also become a resource for you to reference . Have you forgotten some old kanji? Do you need to brush up on a certain grammar concept? No worries. You just have to flip back and have a look at previous entries.
So, once you have your ideal notebook, you should:
- Decide how much time you’re going to dedicate to journal-writing. Start with 30 minutes a week, and expand on it later.
- Decide on a topic, or a certain type of writing. Use any or all of the ideas above for guidance!
- Keep it simple at the beginning. Use grammar and vocabulary you know well—perhaps fill the first page with a self-introduction. Build up your confidence.
- Keep at it! Practice using hiragana and katakana, then work yourself up to kanji. Start covering more complex topics as well.
Whatever you do, just keep writing !
Writing in a physical journal, as suggested, is a great way to improve your Japanese handwriting.
It can especially help you learn kanji and stroke order , if you’re at that level, but you can also use kanji apps to get more guided practice in.
You can do further Japanese writing exercises right on your device (using your finger, mouse or digital pen) with the guided lessons on Kakimashou . You can also use a physical resource such as this writing practice book , which includes how-to information and grid sheets for you to practice hiragana, katakana and kanji.
Even if you don’t want to use something so specific, just writing in your notebook often will help you refine your Japanese handwriting abilities. You can check over previous entries for places you can improve, or have your native reviewer give you some feedback and tips.
Either way, you’ll have a deeper understanding of the characters and you’ll remember them better when you need them in other situations.
So what are you waiting for?
Try out the above nine challenges to really bring your Japanese writing practice to its best possible level—but remember that you can make them your own as well. Allow yourself to be inspired.
Have fun, and good luck!

Haruki Murakami’s Daily Routine: Up at 4:00 a.m., 5–6 Hours of Writing, Then a 10K Run
in Literature , Sports , Writing | July 2nd, 2021 3 Comments
![daily routine japanese essay daily routine japanese essay](https://cdn8.openculture.com/2021/07/01234957/murakamiroutine.png)

Haruki Murakami has been famous as a novelist since the 1980s. But for a decade or two now, he’s become increasingly well known around the world as a novelist who runs. The English-speaking world’s awareness of Murakami’s roadwork habit goes back at least as far as 2004, when the Paris Review published an Art of Fiction interview with him . Asked by interviewer John Ray to describe the structure of his typical workday, Murakami replied as follows:
When I’m in writing mode for a novel, I get up at four a.m. and work for five to six hours. In the afternoon, I run for ten kilometers or swim for fifteen hundred meters (or do both), then I read a bit and listen to some music. I go to bed at nine p.m. I keep to this routine every day without variation. The repetition itself becomes the important thing; it’s a form of mesmerism. I mesmerize myself to reach a deeper state of mind. But to hold to such repetition for so long — six months to a year — requires a good amount of mental and physical strength. In that sense, writing a long novel is like survival training. Physical strength is as necessary as artistic sensitivity.
This stark physical departure from the popular notion of literary work drew attention. Truer to writerly stereotype was the Murakami of the early 1980s, when he turned pro as a novelist after closing the jazz bar he’d owned in Tokyo. “Once I was sitting at a desk writing all day I started putting on the pounds,” he remembers in The New Yorker . “I was also smoking too much — sixty cigarettes a day. My fingers were yellow, and my body reeked of smoke.” Aware that something had to change, Murakami performed an experiment on himself: “I decided to start running every day because I wanted to see what would happen. I think life is a kind of laboratory where you can try anything. And in the end I think it was good for me, because I became tough.”
Adherence to such a lifestyle, as Murakami tells it, has enabled him to write all his novels since, including hits like Norwegian Wood , The Wind-Up Bird Chronicle , and Kafka on the Shore . (On some level, it also reflects his protagonists’ tendency to make transformative leaps from one version of reality into another.) Its rigor has surely contributed to the discipline necessary for the rest of his output as well: translation into his native Japanese of works including The Great Gatsby , but also large quantities of first-person writing on his own interests and everyday life. Protective of his reputation in English, Murakami has allowed almost none of the latter to be published in this language.
But in light of the voracious consumption of self-improvement literature in the English-speaking world, and especially in America, translation of his memoir What I Talk About When I Talk About Running must have been an irresistible proposition. “I’ve never recommended running to others,” Murakami writes in The New Yorker piece, which is drawn from the book. “If someone has an interest in long-distance running, he’ll start running on his own. If he’s not interested in it, no amount of persuasion will make any difference.” For some, Murakami’s example has been enough: take the writer-vlogger Mel Torrefranca, who documented her attempt to follow his example for a week. For her, a week was enough; for Murakami, who’s been running-while-writing for nearly forty years now, there could be no other way.

That’s lovely, but who does the shopping cooking and cleaning, Does the laundry,And all the restOf the administration of daily life?
I like the comparison of “life” to a “laboratory” where you can try anything. It’s a quote I will use to motivate myself to go for uncharted waters.
Carol Pearlman with the vital, hard hitting questions excavating the truth.
Does man who runs and writes also launder? He surely cannot. And if he cannot, he is but a worm.

ジョン: 毎日、午前中、おなかがペコペコです。 |
たなか: 朝ごはんは、毎日食べますか。 |
ジョン:はい、食べます。そして、ジムに行きます。それから、会社に行きます。 |
たなか: へぇ、毎日ですか。すごいですね。 |
ジョン:たなかさんは、うんどうしますか。 |
たなか:わたしは、ときどき、プールに行きます。 |
Matt: Listen to the conversation one time slowly. |
たなか: ジョンさん、いつもいっぱい食べますね。 |
ジョン: 毎日、午前中、おなかがペコペコです。 |
たなか: 朝ごはんは、毎日食べますか。 |
ジョン:はい、食べます。そして、ジムに行きます。それから、会社に行きます。 |
たなか: へぇ、毎日ですか。すごいですね。 |
ジョン:たなかさんは、うんどうしますか。 |
たなか:わたしは、ときどき、プールに行きます。 |
Matt: Listen to the conversation with the English translation |
Tanaka: John, you always eat a lot, don't you? |
John: I'm hungry in the morning every day. |
Tanaka: Do you eat breakfast? |
John: Yes, I do. And I go to gym, and then come to work. |
Tanaka: Wow. You go to the gym everyday? That's great. |
John: Do you do exercise, Mr. Tanaka? |
Tanaka: I sometimes go swimming. |
POST CONVERSATION BANTER |
Matt: So John goes to the gym every morning before work. He sounds very active! |
Natsuko: Yeah! Matt, do you know the word, 朝活 asa katsu? It literally means "activities in the morning." |
Matt: I think I’ve heard of that. That’s the activities people do before they go to work in the morning to improve their ability or health, such as participating in a reading club or going to a gym. |
Natsuko: That’s right. It's getting more popular among workers who are very motivated. |
Matt: Do you do “asa katsu”? |
Natsuko: I tried to get up early in the morning to study, but it was really hard to keep doing it. I think many people try to do "朝活" but give it up quickly. |
Matt: I think you might be right! Can you say this word again? |
Natsuko: 朝活 |
Matt: meaning "using early morning time for some useful activity". Okay, now onto the vocab. |

KEY VOCAB AND PHRASES |
Matt: Let's have a closer look at the usage of some of the words and phrases from this lesson. The first phrase is.. |
Natsuko: おなかがペコペコ |
Matt: meaning "I'm starving." Natsuko, can you break down this phrase? |
Natsuko: Sure. First we have the word おなか |
Matt: which means “stomach”. |
Natsuko: That's followed by the subject marking particle が. |
Matt: And then, we have..? |
Natsuko: "pekopeko" |
Matt: which is a na-adjective to mean "starving." |
Natsuko: All together it is.. おなかがペコペコ |
Matt: And it means “I’m starving.” When can you use this phrase? |
Natsuko: You can use it in casual conversation. But listeners, note that you can't use this in a formal conversation. |
Matt: Can you give us an example? |
Natsuko: Sure! 朝から何も食べていません。おなかがペコペコです。 |
Matt: "I haven't eaten anything since morning. I'm starving." |
Natsuko: ペコペコ is onomatopoeia, by the way. |
Matt: Ah yes. When you’re so hungry and you don't have anything in the stomach, it sometimes feels like your belly is dented. The sound of this word is thought to imitate that sensation. Okay, next we have.. |
Natsuko: すごいですね。 |
Matt: meaning "that’s great." Can you break down this phrase? |
Natsuko: Sure. First we have.. すごい |
Matt: This is an adjective that means "wow," "amazing," or "great." |
Natsuko: It's followed by です, meaning “to be”, then an ending particle ね. |
Matt: The particle.. |
Natsuko: ね.. |
Matt: .. is used to seek confirmation and agreement. Natsuko, when can you use this phrase? |
Natsuko: You can use this expression when you see or hear something interesting or unusual. |
Matt: So, if someone tells you that he can speak 5 languages, you would say, |
Natsuko: すごいですね。 |
Matt: Which means "That’s great!”. Do you use this word only with a positive meaning? |
Natsuko: No, you can use “Sugoi” with a negative meaning. |
Matt: So, when you see that there are lots and lots of people in the station, you would say, |
Natsuko: "すごいですね。." |
Matt: In that case, it means something like “it's terrible.” Okay, now onto the grammar. |
Matt: In this lesson, you'll learn how to use non-past verbs in the -masu-form and frequency adverbs to talk about your daily routine. In the dialogue, we had.. |
Natsuko: わたしは、ときどき、プールに行きます。 |
Matt: meaning “I sometimes go swimming.” It literally means “I sometimes go to a swimming pool.” But more naturally, it means “I sometimes go swimming.” |
Natsuko: In this sentence, we have the word ときどき meaning “sometimes.” Then we have プールに行きます。 meaning “to go to a swimming pool.” |
Matt: Be careful of the order here – an adverb of frequency comes before a verb. |
Natsuko: That’s right. |
Matt: Natsuko, can you give us some examples that express daily routines, using another adverb of frequency? |
Natsuko: Sure. We have.. わたしは、毎日、コーヒーを買います。 |
Matt: Which means “I buy a coffee every day.” |
Natsuko: 毎日 is the adverb meaning “every day” I said the adverb first, then said コーヒーを買います。 |
Matt: Meaning “to buy a coffee.” Can you give us another example? |
Natsuko: 私は、毎朝、新聞を読みます。First up, 毎朝 is the adverb meaning “every morning.” |
Matt: and it’s followed by.. |
Natsuko: 新聞を |
Matt: The noun meaning “newspaper” and the object-marking particle. Next we have.. |
Natsuko: 読みます |
Matt: a non-past formal form of a verb meaning “to read” So altogether, it means “I read the newspaper every morning.” Natsuko, can you give us a few more adverbs of frequency? |
Natsuko: Sure. First we have the adverb meaning “always” いつも、(slow) いつも、(normal) いつも |
Matt: And the adverb meaning “often” is..? |
Natsuko: よく、(slow) よく、(normal)よく |
Matt: OK. Now can you give us more verbs that will be useful for talking about daily routines? First, “to eat” |
Natsuko: 食べます |
Matt: “to drink” |
Natsuko: 飲みます |
Matt: “to listen to” |
Natsuko: 聞きます |
Matt: “to leave” |
Natsuko: 出ます |
Matt: Let’s practice. Listeners, try to think of how you’d say each of these Japanese sentences. We’ll give you a few seconds to think of a sentence, then Natsuko will give the answer. First up, if you buy chocolate every day, you would say, (Pause) |
Natsuko: わたしは、毎日、チョコレートを買います。 |
Matt: Which means “I buy chocolate every day.” |
Natsuko: 毎日 is the adverb meaning “every day.” |
Matt: Next. If you drink milk every morning, what do you say? “To drink” in Japanese is.. |
Natsuko: 飲みます |
Matt: “milk” in Japanese is, |
Natsuko: 牛乳 |
Matt: If you drink milk every morning, you say.. |
(Pause) |
Natsuko: わたしは、毎朝、 牛乳を飲みます。 |
Matt: If you always listen to JPOD, you say |
(Pause) |
Natsuko: わたしは、いつも、 JPODを聞きます。Note that いつも is the adverb meaning “always.” |
Matt: Well, that’s all for this lesson. If you’d like more examples or information, make sure to check the lesson notes for this lesson. Thanks for listening, and we’ll see you next time! Bye! |
Natsuko: またねー |

My study abroad in Japan — from getting up to going to sleep —
![daily routine japanese essay](https://motto-jp.com/media/wp-content/uploads/2020/07/AdobeStock_257074046.jpeg)
Studying in Japan is now more accessible for international students after the local government announced a target of catering up to 300,000 international students by 2020.
They introduced new financial support programs for international students which include university scholarships and grants from the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology (MEXT) and the Japan Student Services Organization (JASSO). With the outpouring of government support, Japanese universities are focused on making the students’ lives easier from their application process to getting a job after graduating.
There are approximately 780 universities in Japan, and 80% of these are private. All these universities offer programs and admit international students with careful consideration of their requirements. So, if your requirements are now ready, better prepare yourself for the life of an international student in Japan.

Studying in a foreign land will leave you with no choice but to adapt to the country’s way of life. Your first few weeks as an international student can be a bit of a challenge, especially if you’re not fluent in speaking Japanese. To help you adapt to these changes, here’s a rundown on the daily routine of an international student in Japan.
![daily routine japanese essay daily routine japanese essay](https://motto-jp.com/media/wp-content/uploads/2020/07/AdobeStock_33741795.jpeg)
On the other hand, the typical day of an international student who lives in a dormitory starts from 6:30 – 7:00 am. After waking up, they take a bath and then prepare their things for school. Some dormitories offer breakfast, but some don’t. Most of the time, students living in dorms eat breakfast at a nearby restaurant or at the canteen of the university they are attending. International students walk or take a bicycle to go to school when the weather is good. But when it’s raining, they take trains and buses instead.
Morning classes in several universities, like Kyoto University, start from 9:00 – 9:30 am and end at noon. Usually, these classes involve learning the Japanese language and culture. It can run up to 3 and a half hours, depending on the chosen course of the student.
![daily routine japanese essay daily routine japanese essay](https://motto-jp.com/media/wp-content/uploads/2020/07/AdobeStock_20934860.jpeg)
Several international students use this time to research or hang out with friends while sharing stories when they don’t have classes. Other students schedule all their courses on a single day to have more free time for the rest of the week.
After attending classes or researching, most of the students take their time to meet some friends outside school and go sightseeing in Japan. Others prefer to study a little more in public libraries or libraries in the university.
![daily routine japanese essay daily routine japanese essay](https://motto-jp.com/media/wp-content/uploads/2020/07/AdobeStock_348368682.jpeg)
Come dinner time, homestay students eat dinner together with their host families while students who live in dorms either eat at nearby restaurants or cook their meals. International students typically eat dinner at around 19:00. However, some students stay in school for research until 19:30, arrive home at 20:00, and eat dinner.
Many students go out after dinner to study or do their homework at coffee shops and public libraries while others watch TV or play games with friends and roommates. After their daily activities, they usually rest first before taking a bath or changing clothes. Most students sleep around 21:00 to 22:00 to have enough rest for the next day’s activities.
An international student’s life in Japan is full of challenges, adventures, sacrifices, as well as fun times. May this simple rundown of the daily activities serve as a guide for you in some probable situations that you might experience. But, remember that these scenarios are not going to be the exact situation that you will experience. It will always vary depending on the school that you’re going to attend, your location, and your budget.

To become successful, everybody should follow a strict schedule or routine. Especially in student life, we need to maintain our time properly. If we fail to maintain time then we can’t make a good result in the examination.
Today I am going to share my daily routine and my experience here. I am a very regular guy who follows a routine. I made that routine almost six months ago with the help of my elder brother.
I make some small edits and changes in the routine due to my own preference.
I consider the morning is the most important part of the day. In the morning, you will find lots of peace and a calm environment. My class teacher suggested me to get up early morning. I followed here that suggestion very seriously and that made my day.
Now I always get up at 5 o’clock in the morning. First of all, I go to the washroom and brush my teeth. I wash my face and wipe the water with a towel. Then I go for a small morning walk. I know the morning walk is very important for good health.

She comes to pick me up from school every day. Because it takes almost 20 minutes to go home from school by car. I enjoy school time very much.
Eat and Sleep Routine:
I eat my breakfast and then I eat my lunch in the school break time. I take my lunch with me. My mother is very aware of my food. She always cooks something interesting to me. I love eating Pizza and Burger, but she doesn’t buy me that kind of fast food.
She prefers to cook them for me. I love her cooked Pizza very much. And finally, after reading and watching TV at night at 10 o’clock, I go for my sleep. When I go to bed, I think about my entire day.
