By Willem Hilhorstundefined.Sashingo: Learn Japanese with Photography could be a great supplemental tool if you're already working on learning Japanese. Its cute artstyle and miniature version of Shibuya is fun to explore and allows you to learn and discover a ton of Japanese words, but it falls a bit short as a full method to learn Japanese and as a photography videogame. Still, on your flight to Japan this is a fun way to learn a few words and phrases that you can put into practice when you're there.

By Thomas KnightShashingo: Learn Japanese with Photography can be helpful, but it doesn't quite pull off making learning both effective and fun. It's a nice way to pick up some new vocabulary and supplement your learning if you happen to be a beginner at the right level. It won't, however, teach you certain things you might need at that level or be as effective as more typical learning methods and is best as a supplementary tool. I do feel it could do with more gamification too. With that said, it has a wonderful relaxing atmosphere and it’s a really unique idea. It makes a nice break from the textbooks while still learning and it’s more engaging than typical methods like ANKI flashcards.
