- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5This dictionary comes out of Singapore, but I bought it when I lived in Hong Kong. Periplus makes the BEST dictionaries I’ve ever found! Although their Spanish dictionary was a bit of a disappointment , the Japanese one isn’t…although some of the words are dated (for instance, nobody really says bansoukou anymore. They say Ban-dei-dou — can you guess the word? Bandaid!). But overall, most of the words are really awesome. There aren’t too many translations, which is nice! Recommend!
