Japan Festivals Picture Book

About this book

500 Japanese festival words — the biggest bilingual festival picture book for kids. Every word with romaji AND free listening audio!

Going to a Japanese festival? Get ready first! Most English–Japanese first-word books stop at 100 or 320 general words, and many leave parents guessing how the Japanese words are pronounced. Japan Festivals Picture Book: My First 500 Japanese Words is different — all 500 words come from real Japanese festivals:

500 festival words (not 100, not 320) across 10 chapters — famous matsuri, food stalls, dances, mikoshi floats, fireworks, festival clothes, fair games, shrines, and the words for how a festival feels Romaji for every single word, so any parent can read Japanese aloud with confidence A picture for every word — each illustration pairs a festival motif with the word's first kana, so children learn Japanese letters while they learn words Free audio QR code: scan it to open the listening page and hear all 500 words in English and Japanese

From takoyaki and goldfish scooping to "wasshoi!" and the last firework of the night — after the festival, open this book again and hunt for the words you saw, ate, and heard.

Perfect for bilingual families, international families living in Japan, and any child who loves festivals.
