Three packs, one purchase, no subscription
Every card is an image. You save it once and it works on the plane, in the subway, and with no signal at all — and it prints at home on a sheet that fits a passport wallet.
Not on sale yet. The native-speaker register check is the gate, and it has not happened — so there is nothing to buy on this page and no email list to join. The cards that exist are free to download in the meantime. Take the four free cards, or read the fourteen guides — those are the whole answer either way. Why the check matters: how cards are checked.

Formats
Three formats, one purchase
Phone. Every card at 1080 × 1620, sized for a camera roll. Save the album once and it is offline forever. There is no app to install and no account to make.
Print. Sheets laid out 4-up with cut marks, in both US Letter and A4, in grayscale so no information is carried by colour and your ink lasts. Cut them out and they fit a passport wallet.
The plan guide (Complete only). One PDF that puts the situations in the order you will actually meet them: the arrival day, the first konbini, the first ramen shop, the onsen on day three.
