JLPT N3 vocabulary list.
The bridge level — where functional fluency starts. 1,717 words below, each with its kana reading and English meaning.
JLPT N3 is the bridge between beginner and upper-intermediate Japanese. The vocabulary widens sharply: abstract nouns, workplace and school situations, the first news and formal-register words, and many near-synonyms you have to tell apart by nuance. Most self-study learners consider N3 the point where Japanese becomes genuinely usable.
This page lists all 1,717 words in the JLPT N3 set (roughly 450–600 hours cumulative). Use your browser’s find (⌘F / Ctrl‑F) to search the list, print the page for offline review, or download it as CSV. When you want to memorise rather than skim, send the whole set straight into flashcards.
