Hiragana Practice Sheets — Free Printable PDF
Hiragana is the first script every Japanese learner masters — the 46 basic characters that spell native words and grammar, from あ to ん. Tracing each one over a stroke-order guide on genkōyōshi squares is still the fastest way to make the shapes automatic. This page covers the full gojūon set in the traditional order; the voiced forms such as が and ぱ are indexed too — just search for them in the generator. Print the sheet below and start writing.
What's in every practice sheet
- One page per character — a large model character plus rows of genkōyōshi practice squares to trace and copy.
- Stroke-order guides — numbered stroke diagrams from the KanjiVG project (can be turned off).
- Your paper, your grid — A4, A3, Letter or Legal, portrait or landscape, 6–28 squares per row.
- Free and private — the PDF is generated in your browser; no account, no watermark, no upload.
