Our Story

Phrases that leave your mouth

Most apps teach you to tap the right cartoon gem. Then you land in Tokyo and freeze at the café counter. Konnichiwa is built the other way around — every lesson starts from a real moment you'll actually live.

It's the middle ground we wanted ourselves: friendlier and more playful than a heavy grammar course, but with far more depth than a beginner phrasebook. Hachi keeps it light while you build real, usable Japanese.

Made by KK Studio in Switzerland — the same calm, offline-first, no-nonsense promise behind every app we ship. No accounts, no ads, no data leaving your phone.

Everyday Japanese,
one real situation at a time.
