Japanese Numbers Printable Charts

Yes. Everything on this page is free to use: no signup, no email capture, no watermark on the sheet and no limit on how many you build, and every range, exercise and script here works without paying. Sheets are free to print and photocopy for classroom use. The only line printed at the foot is numbersinjapanese.com, so students can find the reference charts themselves.

Yes. The script control switches the whole sheet, questions and answer key together, between romaji (san-jū-yon), hiragana (さんじゅうよん) and kanji (三十四). Romaji suits a class that has not learned kana yet, hiragana drills the sound-changes a learner actually hears, and kanji is the form that appears on price tags, forms and signs.

Yes, as its own file. "Download PDF" and "Print worksheet" carry the questions only, so you can hand them out or attach them to a Google Classroom or Teams assignment without giving away the answers. "Answer key (PDF)" and "Print answer key" give you the key on its own, with the prompt and the answer side by side so you can mark from the key alone.

Pick the 10,000 to 100,000 range or the mixed range. Japanese groups large numbers by 10,000 rather than by 1,000, so 10,000 is 一万 (ichi-man) and 100,000 is 十万 (jū-man, ten ten-thousands) rather than a hundred thousands. That regrouping is the part English speakers get wrong, and the counting runs in those ranges step in thousands so students have to cross the man boundary repeatedly. See the big numbers page for the chunk visualiser behind it.

The counting forms: yon (四), nana (七) and kyū (九). Those are the readings used when counting and in everyday arithmetic. The alternatives shi, shichi and ku belong to month names, clock times and set phrases, and are covered on the reading variations page rather than on a counting worksheet.

Every number the generator can print, from 0 to 999,999, is re-derived in all three scripts by a second independently written implementation and compared character for character against the engine that prints the sheets. The check runs from scripts/check-japanese-numbers.mjs in the site source and has to pass before the site ships. The reading tables it checks against were typed from the Wikipedia Japanese numerals multiplier tables, not copied from the engine, so a wrong reading would have to appear identically in two separately written places to reach a sheet.

Not yet. Counter sound-changes are a subject of their own (ip-pon, san-bon, rop-pon for 本 alone) and deserve their own exercise types rather than being bolted onto a number sheet, so they are coming to the builder later. The counter cheat sheet further down this page prints the 12 essential counters today, and each counter has its own reference page with the full sound-change table.

Yes. "Download PDF" saves a real A4 PDF of the questions, with the kanji, kana and romaji set as real text, so it stays sharp when printed or zoomed and can be attached to an assignment or opened in Kami. The answer key is a separate download. It prints on US Letter with fit-to-page left on.
