English to Japanese Days, Months and Seasons

This page will have you talking about the seven days of the week, twelve months of the year, and four seasons in Japanese. Each list is presented from English to Japanese, in case this is your preferred order of learning, but you can also read the page in reverse if you so choose.

By scrolling below (or using our quick links to skip ahead) you will find the translations for several different categories of calendar words. First up you will find a list with the translated days of the week, then a list of the months of the year, followed by a list of the season words.

After these three main lists, you will find another list with related words that will help you talk about specific days, weeks, or years, like yesterday, today, tomorrow, or last month, this month, next month, etc. There's also a small section for special days like birthdays and Christmas.

The Fine Print

I don't speak Japanese myself, so there could be mistakes in the translations. Most of what is here is user-submitted, but I do try to check for accuracy and make corrections as I can. Thanks for your understanding. Best of luck on your Japanese language learning journey!
