Create Stunning Photography Based Flash-Cards

Every photo flash-card you take will be unique to you. The idea behind this is to strengthen the relationship between a word and how you see its physical appearance. In the real world, you can then see such objects and make connections to the Japanese words you've already learned while playing Shashingo.

Track Your Progress in the Photo Album

Your photo album is where you keep your collection of photo flash-cards. If you remember them well in Find Mode, they'll be separated into the 'mastered' tab and shown with a gold star sticker. However, if you're struggling to remember a word in Find Mode, they'll be marked with a purple exclamation mark sticker, so you know which words you need to practice more.

Learn from Lessons In-Game

At the back of your photo album, there are also numerous pages of Japanese lessons designed for beginners that will teach you how to speak Japanese and use the vocabulary that you learn in Shashingo. Also included are some key words and important phrases that can help you in your future conversations.

As a beginner, this has been a really fun tool for expanding vocabulary. If most of this is new to you too, I'd suggest breaking it into sections and taking a few photos at a time, then use the quiz game to master that set before taking more photos.

This game really helped me memorize Japanese words and sentences and phrases too!! I played it for almost 4 hours! I loved this game, I recommend you guys to try it out. At first, I thought it was bad, but when I checked the reviews, I tried it out...Thanks to Shashingo and the owner, I loved this game. I'll play it daily now.

Brought this to go along with my Japanese studies, and just a few minutes in its already proven to be an amazing and fun investment and distraction. A nice way to take a break from the books! It combines my studies with my love for photography, making the gameplay simple and easy to understand with no frustrations. The world, while small, it is crammed full of small and large details and objects that are fun to search for all set against a vibrant and stylised aesthetics. The flash card mini game is also a great addition, I can't wait to take more pics to then come back a day later to see how good my memory is! Aside from that the game runs perfectly at a locked 60fps, and the music is also very chill and nice to listen to! If the developers read this; you've done a fantastic job with this game and would love to see a sequel or dlc with a new location!

A lot of love has been put into this game, it's so relaxing to play and looks beautiful. The game level is small but there is a lot packed into it and it's done very well. I'm around JLPT N3 level and while this game is aimed more at beginners I have still had a great time exploring the city and picked up some vocab I wasn't familiar with. I particular like the find mode, especially for listening practice, it's very useful.
