Learn Japanese through creativity, curiosity, and kind guidance.

The MOCHI MIND Garden is your friendly space to explore Japanese learning.

Our students can download lesson resources and prepare for their next class, while visitors are welcome to enjoy free materials and discover gentle ways to start learning.

Here you’ll find:

• Hiragana Start — lesson resources and a calm place to learn all 46 basic Japanese alphabet letters, known as Hiragana, through writing, games, and gentle practice.

• Hiragana Plus — a level up from the Hiragana Start. Here, students study Dakuon and Youon, learning how small marks (゛or ゜) and letter combinations change sounds. A fun step toward reading more words confidently.

• Hiragana Resources — a carefully selected collection of external worksheet websites that support additional Hiragana writing practice. These Japanese language sites can be explored at your own pace to reinforce what you learn in lessons.

• JLPT Study — coming soon — resources created from real classroom experiences. Each topic focuses on what students often find challenging, offering targeted explanations, practice, and lesson support for those preparing for the Japanese Language Proficiency Test (JLPT).

• Explore Japan — coming soon — curated websites and cultural links that bring Japanese art, traditions, and daily life closer to you.

Take your time, enjoy the journey, and let your Japanese grow naturally — one word, one page, one smile at a time.
