Welcome!
Jiten.net is a simple, yet powerful, Japanese-English online dictionary. You can get started by typing any word (either in japanese or english) or kanji in the textbox above.
Tips
- You can type in japanese or english. We will find the definition for you!
- Use multiple words to refine your search. You can even mix japanese and english!
- You can also use romaji for japanese words (will be automatically converted to hiragana).
- Use UPPERCASE to avoid kana conversion (eg. "MA" will not be converted to "ま")
- You can use * as a wildcard (eg. *込む)
- Add jiten.net into Firefox's search bar

Type or paste the kanji in the textbox above to see details about it. Soon we will have an advanced search with filters like stroke count and radical.
