The Japan Times Publishing is the book and educational arm of The Japan Times, Japan’s long-established English-language news organization. The publishing division focuses on language learning and reference materials for learners of Japanese and readers interested in Japan. On the app front they maintain a small but focused portfolio tied to the popular GENKI textbook series: GENKI Conjugation Cards, GENKI Kanji for 3rd Ed., and GENKI Vocab for 3rd Ed.
Their apps translate classroom materials into portable practice tools: vocabulary and kanji drills, conjugation flashcards, and review sets designed to mirror the structure of the GENKI third edition. The GENKI textbooks are widely used in university and classroom settings worldwide, and The Japan Times Publishing has extended that reach by producing companion digital products that help learners consolidate lessons and study on the go. Contact and support for their apps are available via [email protected] and their learning resources and store can be found at https://bookclub.japantimes.co.jp/en/.
While the app selection is deliberately narrow, it reflects a clear editorial approach: adapt established print curriculum into dependable mobile practice. Users who already use the GENKI textbooks will find direct continuity between print and app content, and instructors appreciate the alignment with a textbook series familiar to many Japanese-language courses.
