Take timed mock tests, then retry what you got wrong for free until it sticks. Stats reveal your weak spots; a leaderboard and achievements keep you going. Start with 300 free questions plus free daily coins, and browse the full kanji list, vocab and grammar notes free, no account needed.
Hey Product Hunt! 👋 I'm Suman, the maker of Hinode (日の出 — "sunrise").
Here's the problem: every JLPT learner I know hit the same wall. Practice material either lives in random PDFs or gives you an answer key with zero explanation. You get a question wrong, see "Answer: 3", and learn… nothing.
So I built the tool I wanted:
🎯 17,000+ questions, N5 → N1 — every single one explains WHY in plain English
⏱️ Timed mock tests that feel like exam day
🔁 Retry your wrong answers for free until they stick
📊 Stats that show your weakest sections before the exam does
🏆 Leaderboard + achievements so studying doesn't feel like a chore
📚 The complete kanji list, vocabulary and grammar notes — free to browse, no signup
🎁 Product Hunt offer: sign up through https://hinode.study/?ref=REF-0001 and you get 800 coins (300 + a 500 bonus), so 800 questions free, plus free coins every day. Valid until JLPT day, 6 December.
The December JLPT is only weeks away, so if you (or a friend) are sitting it, this is the perfect time to take a mock test and see where you stand.
Two questions for you:
1️⃣ Which JLPT level are you studying for?
2️⃣ What's the ONE feature that would make your prep easier?
I'll be here all day answering every comment. がんばって！🌅

Who hunted Hinode?
Hinode was hunted by Suman Shrestha. A “hunter” on Product Hunt is the community member who submits a product to the platform — uploading the images, the link, and tagging the makers behind it. Hunters typically write the first comment explaining why a product is worth attention, and their followers are notified the moment they post. Around 79% of featured launches on Product Hunt are self-hunted by their makers, but a well-known hunter still acts as a signal of quality to the rest of the community.
