A world of stories, for your classroom.

Mukashi's extensive-reading program for juku, eikaiwa, and schools.

One subscription runs a full 50-minute lesson

About 30 min

Guided reading in the app

Or read one book together: start Read together and every screen opens it, turning with you.

About 20 min

Printed worksheets

A full lesson plan for every book: vocabulary lists, tracing sheets, worksheets, activities. Print and go.

All the while

The Lantern watches

The teacher dashboard shows every student's progress and Eiken level. You always know who needs you next.

Four such lessons a week adds roughly 500 minutes of English immersion a month to your teaching.

Everything included. Nothing extra to buy

• The Teacher's Lantern: class management, per-student reports, small-group modes
• Read together: open a book and every screen in the class opens it too, following your pace. Hoshi’s questions appear on every screen, so you can call on anyone. When you finish, each student picks up exactly where they left off
• A program planned at 200+ stories, with new ones most weeks, all mapped to Eiken levels
• Every visible thing in the world can be tapped for visual learning. Objects on your students' Eiken curriculum are read aloud, then kept in Hoshi's Notebook for practice later
• A complete printable lesson plan per book: vocabulary lists, tracing practice, expanded questions, worksheets, activity sheets, talking points for class discussion, flash cards, and spelling tests
• Full audio for every book, for listening and shadowing practice
• Star Charts and A Letter from Hoshi: progress that children and parents can see
• Priority support, with replies within one school day

The Lantern raises its hand for you

The Teacher's Lantern is not a viewer. It is a full set of teaching tools.

• A child who has not read this week, or whose comprehension slips, surfaces at the top of the Lantern on its own. So does a child who is excelling. You never have to hover
• Every book ends with questions from Hoshi. To children they are part of the story, not a test. To you they are a mark book: every answer, ○ and ×, book by book, student by student
• Your notes live where you need them: on the class Word Cards, and on each student's Star Chart
• Classes, class codes, and seats are all self-serve. Add a student in seconds; archive one and the seat frees itself
• Prepare for Class gathers the words your class is about to meet: flash cards, spelling tests, and a certificate maker for the moments worth marking
• One tap opens any student's own lighthouse: their words, stars, letters, worksheets, and progress against the Eiken framework, all in one place
• Complete beginners start in Mukashi Prep: letter sounds, then forty short repeating books, then the stories when they are ready. The starting point is yours to set, per class or per student

The world keeps them coming back

Rewards arrive the way a friend gives gifts. Hoshi brings back things he found on his travels, stars gather in a jar, and a hidden room slowly becomes a museum of everywhere the class has been together. Through the year the world itself changes with the seasons, so there is always a reason to come back tomorrow.

The reading follows them home

Student accounts work at home too. Children want to find out what happens next, and parents can watch progress from their own dashboard, so the value of your classroom is visible at home. Schools fold Mukashi into tuition as a home-reading program, or offer it to families as an optional extra.

Pricing

Annual contracts, from 5 students. Each student is priced by the band they fall into, so the more students you bring, the less each one costs.

Billed annually. Schools that budget by semester can ask us for two installments aligned to the school year (April and October). Every price shown includes consumption tax and is exactly what you are billed. Seats can be added at any point in the year.

Schools helping schools. When a school you introduce joins Mukashi, both schools’ renewals get ¥20,000 lighter.

Getting started is simple

• Sign up online and start the same day
• Students sign in at mukashi.world/student with your class code. No passwords to manage
• Any device with a browser works: classroom iPads, computers, anything

Questions from the staff room

Can we try it first?

Yes. The homepage demo opens on a chooser: five books for children brand new to English, and five for children who already know a little. No signup needed. You can also ask for a two-week classroom trial with your real class.

What devices do we need?

Anything that runs a modern browser. There is no app to install, and adding Mukashi to the home screen gives students a full-screen, app-like experience.

How do students log in?

Students sign in at mukashi.world/student with your class code, so the whole class is reading within the first minute of the lesson.

How do contracts work?

Annual contracts from 5 students, billed in full. Schools that need it can ask us for two installments aligned to the school year (April and October). Seats can be added from your dashboard at any time.
